Today's match is Children of Bodom vs. Megadeth!

Who do you like better and why?

For the benefit of those that haven't heard the bands before, feel free to post recommended songs to listen to in order to sway the voting. (And if you haven't heard of Megadeth, someone else here may just poke you in the eye).

This poll will close in 48 hours.

Old Megadeth

 

[Fractured]

Megadeth, they made In My Darkest Hour and Peace Sells dammit.

 

[NeXTLiFE]

Sheeit! Very hard to compare. These days I'd rather listen to CoB, BUT, Megadeth DID produce a genuine contender for my "Top 10 Albums Of All Time" list and that's no small feat. Certainly enough to get 'em over the line in this contest.

 

[Ultima Ibanez Overlord]

Absolutely no contest. Megadeth all the way. If anyone votes the other way, they are not metal.
"Peace Sells", "So Far, So Good, So What?', "Rust In Peace" and "Countdown To Extinction" are all seminal works, and every metal fan should have AT LEAST one of those albums.
CoB don't have any sort of claim like that. In fact, who the fuck are CoB??????

Megadeth

 

[Rusty]

Megadeth. Megadeth, Megadeth, Megadeth, Megadeth, Megadeth, Megadeth, Megadeth, Megadeth, Megadeth and Megadeth.

 

[nafnikufesin]

I wonder who's going to win this one

 

[Fractured]

Yes. This is evolving to a real thriller.

Well, the Finns haven't started to vote yet.

 

[Triumphant Apostle]

I like both bands but I have to say Megadeth. Why? The album Rust In Peace! I do have to say that Rust In Peace is the ONLY MegaDave album that is a bonafide masterpiece in my opinion. Almost certainly the best album of 1990!

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

I'll admit, this was a tough call.

Today, I actually *like* CoB quite a bit more, but I have a tendency to honor those who've come before us...

There's a very good chance that Bodom wouldn't exist without Dave's thrashy riffs. So I vote for Megadeth.

Ok. I'll be the first then. Band with several classic albums against a band that is mainly boring, with some exceptions? Hmmm.... I think I'll go with the first one. Megadeth it is.

 

[manuelgv]

can't vote on that one because I dislike both
but since I dislike CoB more I shall vote against them

MEGAfuckingDETH!!! I started listening to them 'bout ten years ago. They still have [lisp] A special place in my heart [/lisp]

 

[~UlvedaL~]

Well, I think Megadeth stinks, and I like the music of CoB, sooo.... Children Of Bodom it is!

 

[Opus(sy)2]

Megadeth
