I thought it would be interesting to see which of these two classic Indian themed songs by classic bands would win.
I would have to say that Run To The Hills gets my vote. Lyrically though, I would give the win to Anthrax for obvious reasons. Run To The Hills is undeniably catchy as hell, and comes from perhaps the first 'true' Heavy Metal album that I ever bought and loved.
Vote and discuss.

I like Indians more. I think the chorus in Run to the Hills is cheesy, but Anthrax gets that way too sometimes.

I don't really like Run To The Hills because of the cheesiness...I like Iron Maiden but some of their stuff is pretty cheesy...they kinda have their heads too much in the clouds...Anthrax has some sort of street value and keep it real...also the whole socially and politically concious thing...fantasy music personally gets too ridicuolous...Indians is just a really good classic metal song with no bullshit...

I've heard little Anthrax but I've actually heard, Indians and liked it. Considering I hate the song, Run to the Hills because its basically the same phrase sung over and over again and boring I'll go with Indians....

Fan of both Anthrax and Iron Maiden, but for me Run to the Hills is the winner. Obviously its cheesy as fuck, but in a good way heh.

Definitely "Run to the Hills". Sure, it's overrated, but it's still a great song.
So, is anyone actually surprised that Iron Maiden is winning so far?

Anthrax is rad but I gotta stay true to the maiden. I think The Trooper is overrated, but its still a great song and what would Iron Maiden be without the cheesiness.

Run to the hills is more fun to play on bass, anthrax doesnt have the same bite maiden does.

Run to the Hills is much better imo. I don't dislike Anthrax, but they don't have much material that can measure up to classic Maiden songs...

Run to the Hills wins by a mile. Iron Maiden turned the systematic destruction of native american civilization into a song that is catchy and amazingly fun to sing. I don't consider cheesiness to be bad by any means, but since it has been brought up, the lyrics of the anthrax song are just as cheesy, if not even more.
And I quote:
Even though they know how much their lives are really missin'
WE'RE DISSIN' THEM ...
That is only the most cheesy part.

Both bands are very good in their respective genre'. A few people have mentioned the cheese behind IM Run to the Hills, but in many respects I think that is something IM did very well in the early 80's. Nothing like a little cheese, at least you know for the band it was all in fun. As for Anthrax, they have always been no bullshit with a good dash of humor to go with it, that's is what made them great bands respectively.
Comparing two very different songs like Indians and Run to the Hills is very interesting. My vote is for Indians, simply because Run to the Hills has never been a favorite of IM, however Indians is probably one of my favorites of Anthrax. It is hard to compare lyrics and music when each band has such a vastly different style.

I think overall I like Indians better. The drum intro, the sweet rift, and the catchy chours along with a good solo.

Run To The Hills might as well be a pop single. It's a decent catchy tune, but nothing more. Whereas Indians is a fucking thrasher.  CRYYYY FOR THE INDIAAAAAAANSS!

Run To The Hills for me. I don't care how insanely popular this song is, I think it's a great song, Maiden sounds awesome, and Bruce Dickinson is a vocal god. I like the more romanticized lyrics this song presents as well, it provides me with that sense of escapism that I love from music in general.
As for Indians, TBH I was never really a fan of Joey Belladonna's vocals, I always thought they were pretty annoying personally, and I'm not the biggest thrash metal fan to begin with. I just could never get into Anthrax's music, not my cup of tea really.

Indians for me. Maybe one reason is that I've heard Run to the Hills so many times, but I just like thrash a lot more.
