Well, I find IM pretty boring compared to DT. I find neither extremely original, but DT is just more interesting. IM songs have the MTV structure ...Big smileBig smileBig smileBig smileBig smileBig smileBig smileBig smileBig smileBig smile

I don't like Dickinson's voice...
Iron Maiden is just a simply heavy metal band
I'm hearing that stuff only I'm drunk xD

Sooooo... Dream Theater !

Point 1. Although both are excellent vocalists, I found Dickinson less emotional than La Brie. But on Live performances Bruce really Kick-Asses, While La Brie has the tendency to Thumbs Down I'll Give a tie here.

Point 2. While Steve Harris has created a school, and has one of the best Right Hand in the business, John Myung has developed an incredible skill level on his instrument. Point Myung.

Point 3. Jhon Petrucci has kinda lost his mojo, since SFAM, Where is the emotion? Despite what I said, his soloing is superb (listen Under A Glass Moon). On the other hand the CHEMISTRY between Maiden's axemen is Awesome. Point Maiden

Point 4. IMHO Despite being a superb drummer Portnoy has the tendency to overplay in the song, while I always enjoy the finesse that Mc Brain brought to Maiden. Point Nicko

Point 5. Totally Agree, classic Maiden are THE COVER ARTS.

Iron Maiden has more raw energy and emotion...they get the vote in my book

Let's see... one that somehow luckily managed to make an album in the 80s (bless 'em for making at least one during that magical decade) or the band that defined metal in the 80s... hmmm

I'm going to a show where DT is opening for IM later this year, and some of you may hate me for this but I'm probably going to leave before Iron Maiden; sorry, I'm not a big fan of their music...

My vote goes to the 'Theater.

I think Iron Maiden became a characature of themselves over the years. One might argue that Dream Theater is starting to do the same, however. I just never saw how Maiden was special one way or another. A pretty good metal band, in my opinion, but not good enough to take down the best progressive metal band.

My first ever concert was Maiden back in 1987 when I was only 13 years old. And I'm still fond of 'em so there's my answer. Ouch

Iron Maiden. One of the greatest bands, all time, all categories.
Dream Theater...one or two good albums, one great.

So it isn't much of a competition in my case.
