Iron Maiden's 'The Number Of The Beast' has been voted as the best British album of the last 60 years in a new poll.

The metal classic came out on top in a public vote conducted by HMV to celebrate the Queen's Diamond Jubilee and took almost 10% of the votes cast


It could just be that there are more socially-connected Maiden fans than Beatles fans, but it's pretty cool that a metal album won a vote like this.
