Make it 19 -5 JD! Saxon are better than ever while Maiden have really fizzed out, the Final Frontier was okay, but okay does not cut it. I am still waiting on a Saxon/Judas Priest U.S. Tour!
My vote goes to SAXON

Yep thats the way it was here in the states too Rik. Maiden didn't so much sell out to a wider audience as you know but thier song writting starting from 1990's poor quality album "No Prayer For The Dying" all the way till 2010's poor quality album The Final Frontier has sucked BIG TIME. from 1990 to 2010 they wrote 8 studio albums and only 1 of them are decent"A Matter Of Life And Death". Brave New World only has 4 songs that are worth a shit,the other 6 songs suck balls.
Saxon sold out big time,but had come back full circle and proved themselves to the metal world they are quality british heavy metal and have been for 16 years.
The Maiden fanboy created this thread 5 months ago thinking that everybody would be flocking towards Maiden and posting Maiden over Saxon,but this back fired on his ass big time with Saxon grabbing 17 votes and with Maiden only grabbing 5 votes over 5 months. That shows how lame Iron Maiden really is these last 20 years. Pretty sad when a band has to live off the early 1980's for fan's opinions here in 2011,absolutely "sad".
Hey Maiden fanboy.....17 to 5  Saxon is kicking your lame band's ass these last 16 years and counting HAHA!!! Keep living in the 80's haha!!!

| During the late 80s & through the 90s, heavy rock / metal generally lost it's street cred, at least it did here in the UK, not just Saxon . The two magazines here which had traditionally flown the flag for metal became full of bands which had no business being in there in my opinion, chilli peppers, Faith no more, grunge bands etc etc', it got virtually no radio air time either, and traditional metal was pushed out & poked fun at or portrayed as old hat. Only bands like Metallica or Guns & roses (another band living off the sale of one album) seemed to be spared the rod. Saxon were often treated with little respect, but they stuck to their guns like Motorhead, Priest and the likes, and they rode out the storm while other bands either fell by the wayside or tried to appeal to a wider audience.
