Savatage should win

Honestly, even though I like Iron Maiden more...I think Judas Priest should win.

all of mine but Ozzy made the list. No Ozzy, hum....wonder why.

how Iron Maiden could beat Priest is beyond me. i like both, but Priest are innovators & Maiden are just a continuation. one of many NWOBHM bands, continuing what bands like Sabbath & Priest had already started.

Priest refined & perfected the metal sound. Maiden just added a punk delivery vocally for the first 2 albums. Motorhead did the punk thing alot better.

just my opinion of course.

10. Nirvana
11. Van Halen
12. AC/DC
13. Clash
14. Metallica
15. Police
16. Rush
17. Doors
18. Aerosmith
19. U2 (hard enough)
20. Grateful Dead (I don't care if they're not hard rock, they still are awesome)
21. KISS
22. Guns N' Roses
23. Cream
24. Soundgarden
25. Stone Temple Pilot

I think the same. Judas Priest has better albums overall than Maiden, but Maiden is better than JUDAS on STAGE, and It does not have to do with Eddie.

That's because Maiden has 5 members moving around on a stage. Judas Priest has 3 moving all around the stage, and then you have Ian Hill who basically has stood in one place for the last 30+ years. In fact, I think that I've seen the roadies pull the spikes out of his feet after each show.

Not even close, I love Maiden, and they are great in concert, but Ive seen both multiple times, and NO ONE matches the intensity or perfection of a JP live show. 110%? More like 210.
