1986: Wasted Years or Peace Sells?

[WildRanger]

Two famous metal singles from 1986.
Your pick is?

Peace Sells easily, for me.

[Zydar]

Easily Wasted Years. Not much of a Megadeth fan.

[wolfking]

Wasted Years, easily.

Strange matchup.

[Stadler]

I'm with Wolf.

"Hey what's better on pizza?   Mozzarella cheese or concrete chips?" 

[ganpondorodf]

Odd one. I'm not at all a fan of either of these bands, but I love both of these songs. Peace Sells edges it for me (that bass line, seriously) but they're both great

[The Walrus]

I don't find much worth comparing here but I guess I like Wasted Years more just because it's catchier. Both are great though

These "two random songs" polls always make me chuckle.

Wasted Years by a county and city mile combined and then cubed.

Other songs from 1986 that I would pick over any Megadeth song:

Who Made Who(m)
Livin' on a Prayer
The Final Countdown
Everything on Awaken the Guardian
Everything Else on Somewhere in Time
Everything on Master of Puppets (even Leper Messiah)
Orgasmatron
Everything on The Utimate Sin (even Thank God for the Bomb)
Everything on Rage for Order (even Gonna Get Close to You)
Shyboy
Everything on The Sport of Kings

I could go on and on and on and on and on....

[Stadler]

"Shyboy"?  I'd take everything on that album, too, with the possible exception of "That's Life" which I can take or leave.

This.

My favorite song from Maiden, written by my favorite guitarist. Pretty simple.

I do like Peace Sells, but very little would beat this.

[Mladen]

Both great songs, but Wasted years isn't just a great song. It's a masterpiece.

[jjrock88]

wasted years for sure

[SleeperAwake]

Yup, Wasted Years.

[Dream Team]

Wasted Years, easily.

Strange matchup.

I think his next poll should be Like a Virgin vs Reign in Blood.

[TAC]

 

[PowerSlave]

Wasted Years, easily.

Post Of The Year!!! 

[Phoenix87x]

Wasted Years

Legendary song by a legendary band. Peace sells is just a good song imo

[Dublagent66]

Both great but not a surprise that WY is running away with it.  That was my vote. 

[bosk1]

...not a surprise that WY is running away with it. 

Because you think it is that much better, or because of the proliferation of Maiden fans on this forum?  (or both?)

[Dublagent66]

Well, both.  There's a proliferation of Maiden fans everywhere, not just here.  That's no surprise either.

Wasted Years

Legendary song by a legendary band. Peace sells is just a good song imo

This pretty much sums it up.

Like A Virgin by a long shot.     

(And no, not joking one bit.   I opt for a catchy song from a half-talented, semi-hot woman over noise from no-talent clowns.)

But Slayer's riffs are so creative. 000-000-000-000-000

I know that's a joke that's been run into the ground. But not here!

Hey!  Sometimes Slayer gets really proggy:  0000-1000-0000-1000
