You should check out Saxon's last 7 studio albums and compare them with the last 7 studio albums of Iron Maidens. If you still prefer Maiden's LPs I would be stunned and shocked to the fullest.
Rest assured I will be checking out more of those later Saxon albums when things quieten down a bit around here, really liked Lionheart by the way.

Very good jimmy .....bravo. I agree with Maiden's back catalogue except for your Seventh Son comparison,that album is nowhere near Saxon's last 7 studio albums neither is Somewhere In Time but I'll say that the first 5 Maiden albums are better than Saxon yes. This thread should of been "modern day" era for both bands. That being said Saxon is still up 13 to 4 and that is amazing. Most people including myself are giving Saxon credit for the last 15 years over Maiden,people are sick and tired of "The Final Frontier" kind of sounds,sure I still like AMOLAD minus 2 tracks but I see why people don't like modern day Maiden,thier sound isn't strong anymore while Saxon's sound is very strong and heavy.
Again,in my opinion the last 7 studio albums Dogs Of War,Unleash The Beast,Metalhead,Killing Ground,Lionheart,The Inner Sanctum and Into The Labyrinth totally 100% destroys and obliviates Somewhere In Time and Seventh Son,to me its like trying to compare Turbo(which would be S.I.T. and S.S.O.A.S.S) to Painkiller(which would be Saxon's last 7 albums).

In saying that though I still need to hear more of their stuff but I'd be very surprised if they had an album as good as Killers or Number Of The Beast or Powerslave or Seventh Son anywhere in their back catalogue.

Dude I couldn't agree more with you! This is why in this thread's first 2 months of existance that fanboy Maiden asskisser Brian_Evans created Saxon are up 11 to 3!!! Now by the end of this year he will probly create a bunch of fake accounts just to vote for Maiden,but this is why Saxon is up 11 to 3 is because Saxon is far better than Maiden nowadays,people just keep buying Maiden records to compleate the collection ect...
Saxon takes thier S-axe and splits Eddie's head in half no contest! [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by EdgarV72 from Tuesday, March 01, 2011 12:09:52 AM)

I'm sure Saxon fans hope the band looks back to this metal classic to get some inspiration for that new cd coming out in april ...
SAXON destroys Iron Maiden ten times over!!!! Let Me Feel Your Power!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Saxon all the way... Normally, I might say Maiden, but Saxon's newer albums are better than anything Maiden's released in years.

Yes spa Saxon is obviously putting out much better metal than Iron Maiden could ever. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by spapad from Thursday, February 17, 2011 5:46:43 PM)

SAXON because Maiden is way overrated!!! Maiden was great in the '80s and I was a big fan, but they haven't done anything that I really like since then. Saxon on the other hand is still going strong! I also heard a rumor that Saxon may be opening for Priest in Europe this summer! I hope that if they do, they bring them over to the States to open for them here cause that would KICK ASS!
