OK, I have been listening to both bands for a long time now and they both rock. I have seen them both in concert and they both put on an amazing show.
But what really does it for me is this. When I put on a Judas Priest album, any one at all, I can listen to it from start to finish and like every song. There are not many bands that will do that for me. Some albums I like only a couple of songs. Other albums I would like the whole album, but there might be a couple of songs that don't do it for me. And for me that is Iron Maiden. I like there stuff but not all of it.
Judas Priest is different. I can listen to any album in its entirety and like every song. When Nostradamus came out I almost wished that they would have played that whole album live when they did that tour.
Thing is, it does not matter what they play. I would stay in front of the stage all night long listening to their music if they would perform. So my vote is Judas Priest all the way.
