This is a tough one but I went with Maiden because they were partially influenced by the Fab 3.

Sabbath was the more influential band, but I prefer Maiden by miles.

This is BRUTALLY tough.

 

Maiden wins for musicianship, but as far as overall influence and just kick ass riffage, you gotta go with Sabbath!!

 

Both Rock balls and know how to bring it though!!!

Agreed. Sabs have been more important, and some of that early Iommi is undeniable, but still I have a liking for (early) Maiden more trink38.gif

 

Interesting poll cool.gif

Without Sabbath, there would be no Maiden, and the first 6 Sabbath albums are truly indispensable, so it's Sabbath all the way!
My vote ties it 12 apiece! Go Sabbath!

Without Chuck Berry, there would be no Beatles, without the Beatles, there'd be no Rush...

 

Still, I prefer Rush to Chuck Berry. tongue.gif

 

Sabbath was way more influential and important to the history of Metal, but I'll always pick Iron Maiden over them.

laugh.gif Yes, but Sabbath did it better!

One would be hardpressed to link Chuck to Rush sonically, but with Sabbath and Maiden it's very obvious.

Loved them both back in the 80's.

 

Went with Sabbath, their music seems more timeless to me. I have heard some Maiden lately (old stuff) and it just doesn't it for me as much anymore. It's odd because I LOVED them in the mid 80's; had all their albums and saw them a few times.

 

Sabbath just works better for me these days for some reason.
