For the last week, Gibson.com has been slowly revealing their staff-selected list of the Top 50 Metal Songs of All Time. Today marks the final day of that process, as the Top 10 have finally been unveiled. Gibson also released the results of their readers’ poll today with a list of the Top 25 Metal Songs of All Time as chosen by visitors to the site.

Metallica’s "Master Of Puppets" was chosen as Gibson.com’s #1 pick, with Motörhead’s "Ace Of Spades" and Ozzy’s "Crazy Train" rounding out the top 3. Metal gods Judas Priest dominated the Top 50 list, with 7 songs selected by the staff. Iron Maiden and Black Sabbath both came away with 6 selections, in what turned out to be a good poll for British Heavy Metal bands.

At the top of the Readers’ Poll is Iron Maiden’s epic "Hallowed Be Thy Name." The Readers’ Poll ended up being a much more diverse list than the staff picks, with bands ranging from classic rockers Mountain to symphonic metallers Nightwish making the Top 25. The fans also chose to include Led Zeppelin under the "Metal" category, with "Stairway To Heaven" and "Whole Lotta Love" making the list.

It seems the Readers’ Poll was friendlier to newer acts as well, with Slipknot’s "Psychosocial" and Lamb Of God’s "Laid To Rest" both making the 25-song cut.

Without further ado, here are the full lists:
