Who do you enjoy the best

I was going through a CD holder -
and noticed I had these bands lumped together.
Who do like the best - currently -

Lately Megadeth. I have Peace Sells with me in the car.

All in all, about even. Probably Metallica if I had to choose, to be honest. The debut and Master of Puppets are among the best.

Megadeth but I do love through the Black album by Metallica.

Megadeth has a more consistent catalog then Metallica,who dropped the ball when Cliff passed. The King has a great pedigree and i will go with him.

All three have produced some f my favourite albums of all time.

All three have released some crap over the years.

Can't really decide

King Diamond all the way. Megadeth would be second on that list. I just listened to Ride the Lightning the other night, and it really does nothing for me anymore. I can't listen to them much, and when I do, the music doesn't hold up as much as old Megadeth does. Seems like Megadeth has aged better over the years than metallica has.

I would say Megadeth overall. Peace Sells and Rust in Peace are two of my all time favorite albums. I do like Metallica’s earlier albums but Deth have been more consistent over the years.

Megadeth on the strength of a better overall catalog. Metallica was rock solid up to the Black album but after that...... and Mercyful Fate is a bit iffy after the reformation.

30 years ago I would've said Metallica. Nowadays, I'm Team Deth.

I would agree with this statement.

Megadeth of course, but all 3 are amazing at times.

Megadeth.

King/Fate is my least favourite. I only own the Dangerous Meeting compilation and hardly ever listen to it.

Now I feel like playing it though. I'll take it in the car tomorrow.

King is one of my all time favorites so I went with him. Metallica had too many duds after TBA so Megadeth would be second.

For me, nothing tops the first 3 Metallica albums with Cliff Burton! For that reason, they have my vote.

I do also love Megadeth. But the first 3 Metallica albums are untouchable! Dave Mustaine was a part of the songwriting, so it’s a cool bonus!

Metallica wipes the floor with Megadeth, and I love Megadeth.

Metallica for their first three records alone.

King Diamond/Mercyful Fate by FAR!

No way. I think Dave Mustaine said it best, when he said something along the lines of how Megadeth can cover every single Metallica song, but metallica can't say the same about Megadeth.

I admit, when they were both putting stuff out in the 80's, I was all for Metallica. But going over both catalogues, Megadeth has just been the better band for so much longer it's not even close for me.

What Megadeth songs couldn’t Metallica cover? James is one of the best rhythm players and Kirk is decent enough if he practices. Lars is the only weak link for Metallica, but Megadeth isn’t exactly known for the most difficult drumming in metal.

3 words: Kill, Ride, Master. End of discussion.

Playing fast doesn't mean Megadeth is writing good songs. They've forgotten how to write hooks because they're trying too hard to be "thrash" or whatever.

What is the hatred toward Kirk? Decent? Are you out of your mind?

Dude, I didn’t say anything about hating him. I love his early work on the first 3 albums! But have you forgotten his laziness and overuse of the fuckin wah pedal? And FYI, I voted for Metallica. In case you weren’t paying attention.

James IS Metallica imo. It’s his riffs, voice and lyrics that define them.

Personal taste, but for me Megadeths old stuff holds up better than Metallicas. Overall catalogue goes to megadeth too far as I'm concerned, because they still write great music, and metallica has not put out ANYTHING decent since 1991, and nothing great since 1988.

My vote here still goes to the King.
