It sounds like, "ruk, ruk, ruk, ruk, ruk." Instead of the more pleasing kick drum sound of, "gzarruk, gzarruk, gzarruk, gzarruk."

You beat me to it. I was gonna post, does anyone know any other bands besides Maiden that has killer guitar harmonies. I am surprised there's no Helloween either.

I recognize this is a me issue, but never once in my life have I listened to a song and thought about it having a guitar harmony.

I suppose everyone has different things they key into musically (for example, I always struggle more on lyrical topics because I mostly ignore them when listening), but I'd thought that it was a more common one.  I guess being a big melodeath guy I've always appreciated dual guitar melodic work, so I could probably have filled the list from that niche alone with Soilwork, Nightrage, At The Gates, Dark Tranquillity, Darkest Hour, Noumena and others.

I hear you, and I get there is a high percentage of members here who are musicians, or at least more musical knowledgeable than your average Joe. I am just your average Joe here, who doesn't hear time signatures or key changes or arpeggios when listening to music. So this round was lost on me  :)
