2) M.S.G. (early albums as well as McAuley-Schenker Albums)
3) Dokken

5) Jethro Tull

1. Iron Maiden 74 "points"
2. Judas Priest 51
3. Black Sabbath 32
4. Megadeth 30
5. Metallica 29
6. Savatage 22
7. Kiss 20
8. Van Halen 18

2. Porcupine Tree
3. Black Sabbath
4. Rush
5. Metallica

I'm limitting my list strictly to well established bands for now, but ask me in 5-10 years and there's a good Mastodon makes its way on there with the way they seem to be going. Also, leaving Megadeth and Iron Maiden off the list hurts my brain.
