Controversial opinions on metal

Not really. They booth have strong roots in the NWOBHM, they both fuse a lot of punk elements into their sound, they're both top tier metal bands, etc.

Yes, but:



sounds nothing like



Motorhead is pretty damn samey throughout their entire catalog (not necessarily bad because I like other bands that are the same way). Iron Maiden switched up their sound and it is still samey for a period, but sounds nothing like Motorhead.

There may be a better argument for Iron Maiden's first few being like Motorhead's albums though.
 
SSotSS is also valuable. Fear of the Dark is one of their worst albums, this name shouldn't even be mentioned here. Mostly garbage album, there are too many fillers and an abomination.
