Iron Maiden or Iron Butterfly?

Being bored out of my mind (as indicated by the fact that I just posted in the Chainsaw thread- and I don't even own a chainsaw) I have decided to post a standoff between the two "iron" bands. Hope none of the moderators see this as spam; after all, one of the big foci in the frontroom is music. So, choose which is your favorite band, or both (probably noone) or the generic "gah" if you hate them both.

My personal preference is for Iron Butterfly. They are one of the best and most underrated bands in history, at least in my opinion.

Edit: I know the poll says "Whish band"- it's supposed to be "Which band", but I don't know how to edit the poll.

I agree, Iron Maiden.

I have to say Maiden.

Iron Maiden rocks and is a legend whereas i've never even heard of the other band ever, hence they must not be anywhere near as good

I only sort of like Ina Gadda Da Vida or whatever, but I don't like any Maiden songs. I'm afraid I'd have to go Gah, thouhg if push comes to shove, Butterfly.

Steppe you are truely a hero if you can last through Ina Gadda Da Vida. I know I just can't do it. Is their even a point to that song?

Steppe Merc 01:23 08-24-2005

Not sure. But I'm used to long songs... but I didn't really like it. Other wise I would have voted for them.

Iron Butterfly.

Saw them in '84 in Montreal. Fantastic show.

Maiden is getting more than I thought. I thought they would both be getting whipped by the "Gah".

Steppe Merc- "In A Gaddah Da Vida" is one of Butterfly's longest songs. Almost all their songs are much shorter; they sound like a heavier version of The Doors. Give them a chance.
