Who is your favorite 80's Metal group?
 

Mine of course Iron Maiden.

I always thought Black Sabbath were horrible in the 80s, i voted for Metallica.

Maiden.

Run to the hills!

RUNNNNNNNNNNNN FOR YOU LIFEEEEEEEE!

I voted Slayer, mainly because I've never fully gotten into Maiden, or Judas Priest.
I didn't mind And Justice For All but Slayer still did it better for me and Pantera only really got their stuff sorted around 1990. Pity. I love Pantera.

i vote iron maiden...i LOVE THEM!!!!

You bore me

;)

too difficult to choose >.< but iron maiden....

sabbath are the metal blueprint for me.

I'm actually ashamed of you guys that I was the only person so far to vote Pantera. None of the other bands even come close to Pantera.

im the only person to vote 4 metallica, is it me or is there something deeply wrong with that? metallica only having 1 vote, wats the world coming to? lol

Sabbath:tramp:

:stupid: :stupid:

Er...yeah they do.

Also, Pantera were good in the 80's but better in the 90's. If the theread had maybe said "early 90's included" then I woulda voted for them also. But it doesn't. So I didn't.

Dam MetallicA the best ever especially in 80's i know the NeW MetallicA Sux but they are not too bad to MetallicA Kings of 80's and 90's MetaL and no body can opposed to that
thats all---------------------------------------------------------------

No anthrax fans?!?! They are an amazing band. Really good live.
But not as great as black sabbath. Never get tired of them.

Iron Maiden for sure, then Judas Priest!

This is really hard- Maiden, Priest, Metallica, Sabbath and Pantera are all amongst my fave bands. If I really had to choose though, it would probably be Maiden...

iron maiden, helloween and metallica

^ It's good, this is one of the few polls I've seen with a decent judgement and variety on choices.

Right lets go through the list....

Iron Maiden - Good for the first 6 years
Judas Priest - Most of my favourite of theirs was in the 70s
Black Sabbath - Crap in the 80s
Slayer - Solid during the 80s , don`t think their stuff since is up to much
Twisted Sister - Good fun , but nothing really long lasting
Anthrax - Could give or take them , Spreading The Disease , Among The Living , Persistence Of Time & the Public Enemy stuff was good but I hated everything else
Quiet Riot - Their best songs were covers , mind you I wouldn`t mind hearing the 2 albums they put out in Japan in the late 70s when Randy Rhodes was in the band
Pantera - Never really warmed to them
Metallica - I liked their first 3 albums but i`ve never thought they were anything special
Poison - No , just no.

On the basis of 80s material i`d say it`s between Maiden & Slayer.
I`ll go for Maiden.

me too!

Liar

Oh piss. Urban why? :laughing:

*gets amnesia* what are you talking about? i love copper maiden

i don't have one.

What a useful post.

it certainly could be depending on how you look at it MI. should tell you a bit about me, eventhough it's not typical of what's been offered up so far. seems ya'll have the metal bands of the eighties down fairly well. although i would suggest you check the option for sabbath. they got started the decade prior.

s

**** i can't decide, i love pantera, maiden, sabbath, judus priest, metallica.

lol- yeah, that's the same with me.

for some reason iv always hated black sabbath and iv never REALLY liked iron maiden either. I gave metallica my vote

I love Bruce ****inson- Maiden and I like Anthrax, well some of their stuff. Sabbath are amazing but there more 70's than 80's, Ozzy was off doing his solo career which IMo wasn't bad. Twisted sister are really more like a glam band really (I;m seeing them soon, there supporting Alice Cooper) and I;ve always hated Metallica. And i;ve never really liked Pantera, and Poison are a hair metal band. So maiden win..

the point is they were around in the 80's and still very popular amongst metalheads.

Only bad out of those I like are Pantera, and even then only their 90's stuff, partiuclarly Vulgar & Cowboys

Definately Iron Maiden. Anyways, what does AC/DC come under?

They aren't metal, but I have currently grown obsessed with 38 Special.

Hold on loosely, but don't let gooooo!
Geeze. Songs about masturbating rock!

Well since Ozzy got kicked outta Sabbath in 79' I will have to go with Pantera.
