 Topic: Maiden or Metallica?
Posted: December 11 2010 at 14:43 |
The two big Prog Metal progenitors!
I went with Metallica... they were one of the first metal bands I ever heard. And, of course, Master of Puppets!!

A classic poll. Iron Maiden has been my favorite band from my 13th birthday on and I don't expect other bands to change this. Not only do I prefer their recorded music (quality and quantity of quality material), but also prefer the live performance of Iron Maiden and I find the bandmembers to be way more sympathetic.

Love them both - less Dungeons & Dragons factor with Metallica, so they get my vote.

Everyone knows rock attained perfection in 1974, it's a scientific fact.

I prefer Iron Maiden by far. Metallica had a couple masterpieces (Master of Puppets and AJFA) back in the 80's, but Maiden had even more masterpieces... and I like Seventh Son more than any Metallica album anyway. Not to mention that Iron Maiden still pumps out albums that should make St. Anger, Load, and Reload ashamed. Oh, and I love Metallica too.

Hard choice... I went with Metallica though. I think Maiden is more consistent, but early Metallica is hard to beat.

Metallica for me (even if I was mad about Maiden in my late teens)

This. Though it wasn't even a hard choice for me. Early Metallica at least tried, Maiden subjugated themselves to tr00 metchul from day one. Still love Killers album though.

Two of the most important bands of my teenage years, it's a very difficult decision. I'm just going to skip all the personal reasons I'd have for choosing one over the other and go for Maiden because of the consistency. I do like all Metallica albums as well.

Maiden. No contest whatsoever. Maiden was one of those bands that created my music interest and they've remained important ever since. Metallica on the other hand, I never really liked.

Metallica. I like Maiden, but my taste for them has faded over the years. I will agree that Maiden has probably been more consistent, but no Maiden album touches Master of Puppets in my eyes. I think their music has aged better than Maiden's as well (The Black Album aside, that sounds so dated).
