METALLICA's 'Nothing Else Matters' Named All-Time Best Song By Albania's TOP GOLD RADIO

January 20, 2008

Albania's Top Gold Radio recently asked its web site visitors to vote for their favorite songs as part of the 100 Golden Hits contest. METALLICA's "Nothing Else Matters", from the band's 1991 self-titled album, received the largest number of votes and was named the all-time best song by the Albanian audience. SCORPIONS' "Wind of Change" and GUNS N' ROSES' "Don't Cry" ballads were ranked second and third.

"All top three songs came out in the early '90s at a time when Albania's wild communist regime collapsed, and people were free to listen to foreign music without risking prison and persecution," explains poll creator Igli Gjelishti.

Other rock songs from the top ten include DEEP PURPLE's "Soldier of Fortune", LED ZEPPELIN's "Stairway to Heaven" and THE EAGLES' "Hotel California".
