It’s all about personal preference. I know that. I sometimes like to think = desert island = one box of CDs.

Strange pairing. One is a singer, the other a guitarist.

As individual artists, Malmsteen is better at playing guitar than King Diamond is a singer... but if you’re talking about King Diamond’s albums vs Malmsteen’s albums... KD wins.

It is a strange pairing, but I've heard that King Diamond is an excellent guitarist. Pretty sure I read somewhere that he has had to show Andy how he wanted some stuff played during the recording process. Not say King is a better guitarist than Malmsteen, but he's supposedly pretty good.
My vote goes to the King. One of the best of all time.

I was looking at this poll as “a singer vs a guitar virtuoso”. But then I thought maybe it’s about the albums, not the individuals. In that case, King Diamond (the band) is better!

King I guess. He irritates me slightly less than Yngwie.

Don't quite understand the connection (if any) between these two, but I'll go K.D. cuz Yngwie is a numb nut.

Went Yngwie. Just because I happen to have picked up one of his cds, The Seventh Sign, earlier this afternoon.
Was on my way back home, and made a quick stop at a small record shop. Also picked up Deceased The Blueprints for Madness and Sodom's Marooned live.
Felt good being in a record shop again.

Next poll will be Krokus vs. a block of cheese. The connection is that both are Swiss.

I'll take the cheese.
A slice of rye, Swiss cheese, lettuce or cucumber and a thin slice of salami. Perfect.

I’m reading “ Black Funeral “. ‘ Into The Coven with Mercyful Fate ‘ Written by Martin Popoff. After 60 pages - I decided it’d be a fun pairing. Hank Sherman / Denner - were a force to be reckoned with. Malmsteen also practiced non stop. Had occult beginnings. I love both - closely - but the nudge goes to K.D.

According to the liner notes, he recorded all guitar parts on The Lake off Fatal Portrait.

Thanks for the info.
But I wouldn’t put a merely competent guitar player against a world famous virtuoso.
