For anyone who's interested, I looked at it this way: I love Maiden, but apart from Powerslave they have a good few other really good albums, whereas Dio really only had Holy diver and The last in line, so I feel he/they caught the spirit of metal at the time better than any other band, at that time, and deserve therefore to be crowned king of the trad metal division. Which obviously is not going to happen. But that's why I voted as I did.
Even though it hurt to betray Bruce and the boys...
