Not to mention Piece Of Mind loses some points for having a track like Quest For Fire.

I actually prefer Paranoid to the debut, It has an importance but i really only like the song NIB. Very overrated record IMO.
Great matchup though...

I am actually surprised this is even close. Piece of Mind is one of the best metal albums ever..

True, but Sabbath>Maiden

But we are voting the albums not the band 'duh!

And no, Sabbath is not greater than Maiden according to me.




Black Sabbath 5
Iron Maiden 6

Sorry bro, Sabbath pretty much influenced every band there is in rock. They have tons of great songs between Ozzy, Dio and Tony Martin. Not to mention the great Ian Gillan!

The Wizard, Black Sabbath, Evil Woman, Sleeping Village, Warning, Wicked World, the whole album really.

They're OK songs, Dont get me wrong I like Sabbath I'm just really picky with what I listen to. I always felt Paranoid was Sabbath at there best. Im not a fan of any of the post Ozzy era Sabbath either. I also wont vote for a cd with 5/6 songs on it. It all boiled down to the song Revelations which is one of the greatest songs ever.

Black Sabbath-6
Iron Maiden-7

Black Sabbath - 6
Iron Maiden - 8

Iron Maiden - Piece of Mind -8
Black Sabbath - S/T -7

This one is a good close race. It's like overtime playoff hockey!

I much prefer Maidens style over Sabbaths. Much more memorable songs. I prefer great songs and to me Maiden has more, I like the whole Oreo not just the vanilla in the middle. Meaning Sabbath have a bunch of good songs Maiden have a bunch of great ones.

I'll just agree to disagree.
