Priest or Maiden?

[The Ozzman]

Which group is better?

My vote goes to Priest

 

[Zephyrus]

Priest by a considerable distance.

 

[darrkon]

Maiden

By an even more considerable distance

 

[CF87]

Maiden.

 

[Vilden]

Maiden easily, while Priest is totally awsome they have made more albums I don't care about and Maidens best albums are just pretty much better than everything.

This is the type of poll that separates the posers from the true.

Priest's work through Stained Class solidifies their superiority over just about every other band ever, including Iron Maiden.

I would say their work through Killing Machine/HBFL, not just through Stained Class

This.


Those early Priest albums are just flat out amazing.

 

[Manic Ferocity]

Priest by leaps and bounds.

Disagree. I will agree JP is probably the better band, but the majority of the vocals grate on me like nails on a chalkboard so I had to go with Maiden.

I have always thought that Bruce was way overrated. I am not really a huge fan of his.

Rob>Bruce
Priest>Maiden

 

[Omni]

Judas Priest for sure.

 

[Vilden]

Pfft. 70s Priest are awsome for sure. But sorry, they have never and will never top Somewhere in Time or Killers.

 

[XSASweet]

Priest, obviously.

Stained Class and Killing Machine

If you compare the amount of good songs, Priest would outnumber Maiden 3 to 1. The greatness of Painkiller (the song) is already something no band, including Maiden can touch.

 

[ThisIsACoolName]

Judas fucking Priest, dude.

Shit, this shouldn't even be open to debate. Nothing against Maiden, but... just go listen to those first five Priest albums. After that's not too shabby, either... I'm not too crazy about the new one, though. I've had it for at least three weeks and I haven't even listened to the whole thing. What I've heard leaves me with little desire to hear the rest. Shame.

 

[cannibal corpse]

Judas Priest by a long shot.

Try listening to it again. It's like The Wall: You have to take the album as a whole and evaluate it rather than evaluating it by individual songs

Stained Class and Killing Machine

Change Killing Machine for Sad Wings of Destiny and you are close, still not good enough though. ;-)
