My answer would normally be Iron Maiden regardless but based on the fact that Metallica worked on Lulu the answer is most certainly Iron Maiden now.

I went with Iron Maiden, but this is how I feel about it:

I think that Maiden has a more solid discography all in all, despite albums like No Prayer for the Dying, Fear of the Dark and Virtual XI, I do think that Maiden has higher lowpoints then Metallica has.
However, I do think that Metallica's best albums, Master of Puppets, Ride the Lightning and And Justice For All (for me) are better then Iron Maiden's best albums, Powerslave, A Matter of Life and Death and Seventh Son of a Seventh Son (for me).

So yeah, Metallica has higher points, but Maiden has a much more solid/better discography overall.

From what I've heard of the two bands, I find IM's material to not only be more consistent than Metallica's, but also having higher highs.

One band has released 14 albums that range from good to amazing, with one bad album in the middle. The other band has released 4 classic metal albums, 1 pretty sweet album, and then decided to take a big, fatty dump all over their career.


In case you were wondering, I voted for Iron Fucking Maiden.

Iron Maiden is by far more consistent, while having created equally awesome music, and they have never made me go "WTF IS THIS". And even though I like Death Magnetic very much, modern Iron Maiden is definitely far more innovative and progressive, plus not hurt by "MUST BE LOUD RRARGH" production.

So, Iron Maiden.

Virtual XI is just inconsistent as fuck, suffers from some songs being too repetitive, but it also has one of their greatest masterpieces called The Clansman.

And it doesn't have someone talking and sounding like if he just smoked a 10km2 field of weed over hard rock/heavy metal riffs.

When did this happen? I thought you were, like, anti-Maiden as recent as a couple years ago. Unless I'm confused.

Was I? May have just been a polarizing argument where I went extreme (which wouldn't surprise me). I like Maiden, but I wouldn't say I love them. They're great musicians, and they put on a hell of a show when I saw them, but outside of TNOTB, I don't really listen to a lot of their stuff all too much.

Heh. Yeah, I totally know what you mean. I think everyone's guilty of that from time to time. When we were arguing, I was probably polarizing my hatred of metallica :P

Like both, but Maiden is the winner. They've never sucked as hard, IMO. And I just like it more. Glad to hear you are a Maiden fan, though!

For me its all a matter of Eras


Iron Maiden  1980-1982

Metallica  1983-1988

After 1988  didn't really care for what either band released  .....Maiden just became to repetitive (and still are to this day) ...and Metallica sold their soul to MTV

Maiden.  No contest.  Maiden has had a more consistent career, and their songs are just better, IMO.  Plus they never made an album with Lou Reed.

So yeah, Metallica has higher points, but Maiden has a much more solid/better discography overall.
Sums it up pretty nicely for me I think :D

OMG...QFT!!!

You look at the first 7 IM albums, and it was rare (not non-existent, but rare).   And then it's like suddenly, Steve Harris forgot how to write an interesting chorus, and just went the easy route of repeating the name of the song ad nauseum!!!

Virtual XI is the worst offender, but it didn't get terribly better after Bruce's return.
