Both bands are great, but I'm a Maiden man (my fav metal band). If I was to comparatively analyse the two...
Vocals = Iron Maiden
Rob Halford is quite the awesome singer, but ****inson is probably my fav singer ever. He has everything. And Paul Di'Anno is good too...
Guitarwork = Both
Both sets of guitarists are awesome, and I can't really give it to either one. I probably prefer Maiden's, but I'll let it slide.
Basswork = Iron Maiden
Well, Steve Harris is the man. No competition here.
Drums = Both
I don't know much about drums. From what I've heard of Priest, the only special drummer they had was Scott Travis. Nicko McBrain is a good drummer too.
Lyrics = Iron Maiden
Sometimes Priest's lyrics can be pretty crap. And Maiden has some great lyrics.
Overall, I prefer Maiden.
