Battle of the bands

So the big question is who can even be a decent match=up for Iron Maiden? I remember back in the '80's when metal magazines would occasionaly bring up the Maiden vs. Priest question. Maybe around 84-85 that would have been a fair match-up, but Priest have dropped greatly since then. Another one that pops upis Black Sabbath vs. Iron Maiden. Not bad, but you get inot the very different line-ups and sounds of Sabbath that kind of make it hard to judge. No, I think the best match-up is....

    Iron Maiden all the way. Even at Motorhead's peak in the early 80's they couldn't compare to Maiden's material.
    Motorhead suffers from the same syndrome as AC/DC where you know what you're getting from album to album without much deviation. Iron Maiden's compositions are varied and distinct from one other.Which ultimately makes them the more interesting of the two.

    Motorhead rules, but Maiden is the greatest metal band of all-time, it's gospel.

    Iron Maiden. I'll pretty much always sacrifice technical skill for passion and energy, but with Maidne, I don't have to. They're the best of both worlds and metal's greatest band.
