Both look like something drawn by a middle schooler. I'll go with Manowar, because at least it doesn't remind me of nazi insignia.

I'll go with Manowar because of the background colors. Also the Saxon logo looks like an insigna you would see for a gas station in the 1970's.

I prefer Saxon, not only because its the only one of the two I have heard of but it looks "classier" somehow.

Can I say neither?

The top one looks like it was carved out of soap, so I'll go for the Saxon one.

Saxon.

At least the anatomy is less inappropriate (although you'll see birds with oddly primate like bodies on some Budgie covers too).

Bob-I don't think I could draw the Battle Hymns cover when I was in middle school or now.

Pixie-The Manowar cover looks classier than some of their other covers, but I am sure if that is saying much.

Beckeye-Your comment made me think of how my neighbors used to have a submarine carved out of green soap sitting on top of their TV. I thought it was really cool, but it was the 1970's and I was like six.

I like the Manowar cover. It's one of their more tasteful covers. Saxons looks plain and dated
