It is kind of annoying when people compare Maiden and Priest so much, because they are very, very different.

I don't find the styles that similar at all. They are only both considered traditional because they are both older bands that are still kicking and have legendary metal status. The style is pretty different.

They are different thats for sure. Judas Priest is definately the heavier band (and always have been). Maiden is my fav, but only just.
But they're a similar style. I never said they sounded the same, but if you were to put them into a genre it would be the same one.
Just like Slayer and 80s Metallica are thrash bands, but obviously sound very different. Still the same style, though.

I've never been a big fan of Priest either. I don't mind Halford's solo stuff (Resurrection, at least, as it's the only one I have) but Priest have never really done it for me.

I would consider Priest more the trad metal band, and Maiden more the original power metal band. Priest are more traditional heavy metal, and have fun songs with an underlying heavy metal theme. Maiden have the more serious story telling approach, which makes them quite different. You wouldn't hear Maiden sing a song like Hot Rockin'...likewise Priest wouldn't likely tackle an epic like the Rime. Both are great in a different way.
Maiden have been more consistent throughout their career, and more often have the more consistent albums, but when Priest are at their best they are just as good as Maiden at their best. Again, it is hard, and kind of silly to compare them, because the song writing styles are so completely different.
