Iron Maiden - always my favourite metal band after I bought 'The Soundhouse Tapes' at a NWOBHM gig when they were third on the bill. Disappointed initially when Paul left, but Bruce sent the band in a different direction and often quite proggy too. A mid-career lull (like many bands) but they have come back even stronger following Bruce's return. Metallica never did it for me beyond the obvious 'hits' on classic rock stations.

Maiden. Maiden are the greatest heavy metal band of all time in my opinion so no contest really

Agreed. I really like Metallica's cover on Remember Tomorrow though.

My thoughts exactly.

Tough choice, since I love them both. Maiden, with sublime songs such as To tame a land and Alexander the Great, have had a more "progressive" personality, but in terms of overall music I prefer Metallica a bit more.

It's a convoluted situation for me because both bands have songs that mean something really big to me but I don't like either bands overall, they both have plenty of trash that they've dumped on the public. It's a bit of a weird situation...

Maiden has made a name for themselves as "thinking man's metal" both on and off the stage. Metallica's efforts after 1988 are the flagship of Jockrock and can be thanked for the spawning of an immeasurable litany of numetal.

^ I truly love the 'story telling' approach of Iron Maiden (Gentleman's Metal, is my assessment) - Metallica are way too commercial. Still dig 'em but........

Ride the Lightning and Somewhere in Time are both masterpieces, but I'm going to give Metallica more votes.

Let's see...hmm.....Metallica are a cliche karaoke band and Iron Maiden.......has ten extraordinary songs over a very longer, highly mediocre career (including much of their "classic" albums) Confused
