Ooh, a tough one... I only have a couple of CDs of each band, and I'm not what I would call a huge fan... hmm... but "The Sentinel" rocks, so Judas Priest win out And they didn't release a godawful album called "Burnt Offerings", so all the better
Then again, they DID release a godawful album called "Jugulator"... hmm, this is tough... oh well, go with my first pick. Actually, no, I'll go with Iced Earth.
A 28 year heavy metal legacy! Consistently good albums up until the last 2. An awesome live show, especially in the '80s with the huge stages but even now at small venues. Best twin guitar attack in metal. They don't change their lineup on every album, they are a BAND rather than a person with hired guns. And also the greatest metal album ever is by them. PAINKILLER!
I can't believe people would vote Iced Earth over Priest... without Priest there would be no Iced Earth!
Well maybe that isn't true but Priest should win still hehe.
