Which Band is more your " Go To "

Both have some very good releases / CDs

I could be wrong, but I assume Grave Digger will win.

However, I never got super into Grave Digger but I love Grim Reaper, so voted for them.

I went with Grim Reaper as I love Steve's voice.

I only own one Grim Reaper CD and no Grave Digger so I guess G.R. wins by default.

I'm the opposite, so I guess our votes cancel each other out.

My lone Grave Digger CD is Tunes of War.

Grim Reaper for me. I had a couple of Grave Digger discs years ago but they never did much for me. The vocals I think were the tipping point.

Joined. Joined in life. From the start
From the first beating of your heart
Keep you safe. Keep you warm
Always your shelter from the storm

Pulling the strings. Holding the threads
They know what's best for you. Make sure you don't stray
From the path that they've made. They know what's best

The hand that rocks the cradle
Holds the key to your soul
For the hand that rocks the cradle
Is the hand that rules the world

They always say do your best
Always be better than the rest
They say don't do this. They say don't do that
Just two things our way And don't talk back

Grim Reaper didn't age well with me, and I really don't like many of their songs. Grave Digger isn't one of my favorites either, but I do like them a lot more. I think if we could swap singers, then Grave Digger would be one of my favorite bands. My vote still went to Grave Digger.

Yeah, the early G.R. stuff is pretty cheesy and definitely sounds dated in 2020. The last 2 albums and some of Grimmets solo stuff ( and Grimmstine, too) is more relevant sounding. I listened to  See You In Hell/Fear No Evil (I have the 2 on 1 version) the other night; and while it was a fun trip down 'ol memory lane, I was reminded why it had been a minute since I had listened to these two in a while.

Grave Digger by a long shot. Grim Reaper is just fine but are extremely repetitive.

Grave Digger was cool.....for about 5 seconds in the 80's.  The first 3 Grim Reaper albums are classics.  And the stuff Grimmett has put out since is listenable.

Grim Reaper for me.

I love Grave Digger and own all of their albums, with the exception of the Digger release.

Still voted Grim Reaper because they are more accessible in general, and you need to be in the proper mood to fully enjoy Chris Bolthendal's vocals.

Grim Reaper gets my vote.

Grim Reaper by FAR!!!!! They are one of my favorite bands!!
