Poll: Favorite Classic Metal Band.

[Arsen]

In the poll I included the ones that are definitive classics that essentially created metal. Pick the one you love, like, or whatever the best.

Iron Maiden. Hands down.

Edit - The reason Slayer and Metallica aren't in here is because they were later examples of metal.

 

[BeastofShadow]

Up The IRONS! \m/

 

[SnootyEnglishman]

Wheres the all of the above opiton?

That is the best choice out of the ones offered

 

[Captain Pancake]

Maiden. The poll speaks volumes...

 

[New Troll]

Tough call, but I'm going to have to go with Sabbath purely for thier influence on more recent bands.

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

Maiden.


Just because of the Trooper.

 

[fenrizz]

Iron Maiden on top, followed by Black Sabbath.

 

[02cfranklin]

Spice Girls!

 

[the protaginist]

Dammit, I clicked Black Sabbath before i saw Deep Purple!

Dun Dun Dun... DUNDUNDANNNUUUUHH...

It's hard to textualize the opening to 'Smoke on the Water'.

 

[Fulax]

Tough choice. I'd say Judas Priest's Painkiller is the best album but Maiden are better all round.

 

[Destal]

I've always been a big fan of Dio. Even people who cover his songs sound good.

 

[Kajt]

Iron Maiden.

You just gotta love The Trooper.

 

[Aerodynamic]

UP THE IRONS

 

[Hookman]

Dio,Black Sabbath,Quiet Riot,Twisted Sister and Judas Priest as well as Kiss. They may be more rock than Metal but they still kicked arse before they started to whore themselves out. Bang Your Head!

 

[The Infamous Scamola]

I will go with the (un)holy trinity of Metal: Black Sabbath, Judas Priest and Iron Maiden.

 

[laikenf]

You can never go wrong with Maiden, I was considering Sabbath, but to me Iron Maiden's catalog is much more impressive.

 

[DeadlyYellow]

Iron Maiden? Excellent!

Also fond of Dio and Black Sabbath.

 

[Mondo_Generator]

Black Sabbath.

They freakin' invented Metal for crying out loud!

 

[L4hlborg]

Iron Maiden. They got me into listening metal, they are still the best, after hearing all sorts of metal.
