Suppose it's not fair for me to compare these bands considering I've heard 2½ Accept songs over 0 by Raven Raven do sound rather fun, but those 2½ Accept songs sure fucking rock!!!!
Both have their merits but I would have to concur with the majority. Raven faltered in 1985 with Stay Hard. 1986's MAD & Pack Is Back were ok. 1987's Life's A Bitch was very good. 1988's Nothing Exceeds Like Excess sucked. The last cd I bought prior to 2000's One For All (another stinker) was 92's Architect of Fear which was pretty good.
Accept on the other hand never really released a crap album. Even Russian Roulette ('86) & Eat The Heat ('89) had some good tunes. Metal Heart was their best album.
