The Prince Of Darkness a.k.a. Ozzy Osbourne compiled his favorite metal albums for Rolling Stone Magazine's recent countdown of their top 100 Heavy Metal Albums. 

Topping his list was AC/DC's 1979 masterpiece Highway To Hell, saying, "I love Brian Johnson but to me my good friend, the late Bon Scott, was the best singer AC/DC ever had. This album was like an addiction to me."
