Iron Maiden by a country mile:) Their music is so melodic compared to Metallica's. Bruce Davidson far outshines Hetfield's very poor vocals. Hetfield's vocals destroy what could be great just as the growling in Opeth turns me off a brilliantly talented group of instumentalists.
A GREAT YEAR FOR PROG!!!

Metallica for me here. I respect Iron Maiden but in my opinion they get boring after a couple of listens and you "outgrow "them ,if you will, and you lose interest as fast as you gained it.

Metallica on the other hand always tried to reinvent themselves by making ballads, interesting riffs etc. But that was before they released St.Anger and the other disappointments.

Iron Maiden, easily. They have some of my all-time favorite music. Metallica's great too, and they were one of my first metal bands, but Master of Puppets, ...And Justice For All, and Death Magnetic are their only really fantastic albums IMO. Almost every Iron Maiden album gets 4 or 5 stars from me.

I grew up listening to both bands, and have a deep love for both. When I was in grade seven, Master Of Puppets and Live After Death were current releases. Still can listen to either band without having become tired of them over so many years.

In a musical sense, I cannot vote for one band over another. They both have mostly excellent releases throughout their lengthy careers, and one or two stinkers (St. Anger, Virtual XI), and all the players are excellent. So I will choose different criteria: I love the *guys* in Maiden, and find the guys in Metallica to be mostly a bunch of egotistic knobs, apart from Jason Newsted and whatever the newest bassist's name is.
