Maiden of course, if not just because of the sheer amount of quality albums. As opposed to Metallica's three and a half good to great albums.

I Was never an iron maiden fan, they are a good band but i don't like thier style.

When I listened to the first Metallica records was hen I became a Metal Maniac. Even when I first listened to Black Album. But when I had in my hands the Load and later records I went disspointed...and when I listened to St. Anger I wanted to trhow it trough the window, it really sucks...
But Maiden goes heavier and heavier, better and better, even in the called "worst Maiden albums" there are songs that make you bang your head like no other...:wall:

Well I just bought "No Prayer For The Dying", and I got to be honest, it was so disapointing. I was really surprised of how bad it actually was. I meen, to give Maiden some credit that one song "Run Silent Run Deep" was fairly good, but the rest was just awfull. I won't be hearing that album very much, that's all I can say. I hope that Prayer is the Maiden St. Anger album, coz if not... Well that's sad.

I would choose any Maiden song over any Metallica song. For me Maiden have been the most consistent band. A lot of other bands decide to do something really different to their usual stuff but Maiden have stayed pretty much the same with a few obvious exceptions. I dont get why Metallica decided to change so much after making 3-4 great albums

Well that is a very hard choice...I don't really know... They both had their good days and their bad days. I would choose Master of Puppets over No Prayer For The Dying any day, but the same goes for Matter Of Life And Death over St. Anger. This is very hard for me to decide. Even though my girlfriend hates Metallica and Maiden is her favorite band

This poll is so easy for me, Iron Maiden of course! The best band on earth!

Metallica, what can I say? the Black Album was their last respectable album! (from they beginning to this realese I love all of their albums!) but I mean: 1996 ("Load" album) to present... 11 years of only pile of shit!!!

This can't compare with the 27 glorious years of Iron Maiden!

Absolutely correct.
By the way I did not await that Metallica may have more votes then Maiden... ;-)
Iron Maiden is much more multi-faceted and melodic.

Iron Maiden by far. It's not even really a fair fight, in my opinion.

I think its safe to say that Iron Maiden kicked Metallica's ass in this site.

But yea, Im seeing a lot of posts of people just stating what they voted.

WHY DID YOU VOTE FOR WHO YOU VOTED FOR?!?!?!?!?!

I agree man, it's so annoying! Still it's nothing compared to the "Top 10 albums/songs"-topics!

My vote went to Iron Maiden. I just love their style a whole lot more! And they give a killer live performance (never seen Metallica live though...). Somehow Metallica doesn't do it for me.

Yeah! I support your vote. My favorite band... is with Iron Maiden in a extreme battle. Metallica is my favorite one... and Iron Maiden is my wife's favorite one. So, Metallica rules!!!!

So, I just know that I was in the Metallica concert in 99 (Bogotá). Now, I'll go to the Iron Maiden show with my wife. But, just try to remember one main idea...

Metallica rules the world!!!!!!!

Maiden it's just an amazing, huge, and awesome band ... a classic of classics, byt maybe Metallica for me has more power in their musical proposal and more ideas in ther lyrics, it's difficult to choose definetely but if I have to make a decission I would vote for Metallica... sorry Maiden : (

Maiden n Metallicva huh....their both are great. I like them. And to you guys who hate Metallica at all, just remember that they have many hard time, and as we know hard time can make people better and better (experience is a good teacher). Beside that, Metallica promised to all headbangers, they will make Master of Puppets sound like album in 2008. Just wait and see...
And once again, I like both.......

I am a huge fan of Iron Maiden. And I'm bored of Metallica (perhaps, because I was playing drums a lot of their songs in the past). Anyway, Iron Maiden's music more melodic, than Metallica's...
