Easily Maiden. I like Metallica too, but Dickinson is a muuuuuuch better singer than Hetfield, and I think that Harris is a better songwriter than any Metallica member too (Ancient Mariner, Dream Of Mirrors, Alexander, etc...)
I shook my head and smiled a whisper knowing all about the place

In some cases, the master is never surpassed by the pupils, but some of them get very very close or even match them; in some other cases, the master is surpassed (without getting ridiculed at all). IMHO, this is a case of the former. UP THE IRONS!!

Iron Maiden! I like only one Metallica album (Justice for all), but Maiden has a whole stack of albums I love.

Metallica were the first band I really got into as a young preteen lad, while I didn't hit up Maiden worship until I was about 17, but Iron Maiden are definitely tops for me over time. I still love Metallica up to AJFA but they've made so many awful records, said so many stupid things, acted like such douchebags it's hard to have the same appreciation I once did for them...... while Iron Maiden, minus the Blaze years have consistently ruled, reinevented themselves into something AMAZING post 2000 and seem like genuinely nice people all around. If I had to pick one, no contest it'd be Maiden.......

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).

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.

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.

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. Tongue


and Me TOO !!

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.
