Iron Maiden by far. I feel they have a more melodic vibe, and actually sing instead of gruffly yell. Plus the guitar orchestra that Adrian, Dave, and now Jans create makes every song into a masterpiece.
TOP 5:
The Trooper
Still Life
Aces High
Doctor, Doctor
Dream of Mirrors
EXTRA 5:
Fear of the Dark
No Prayer for the Dying
Hooks in You
New Frontier
Rainmaker
Im not a slayer fan personally, as I find the guitar work lacking, the vocals too forced, and the whole overall vibe of the music to be more about being loud than being about the music itself. I guess the top slayer songs would be Raining blood and Chemical Warfare.

Slayer
love Maiden too
- 7 years ago
so similar
both bands started out as forerunners and became a mere shadow of their former selves
Iron Maiden's advantage is how they started earlier and probably influenced Slayer
Slayer's advantage is how their members didn't become tattooed millionaires (yet) launching LLPs, talking tours or sell bonds on the stock market
Favourite Slayer song: Crionics
Favourite Iron Maiden song: Hallowed Be Thy Name

Iron maiden! Mostly because they are one of the Pioneers them and Judas Priest. You can't really compare anyway because the band mates in slayer look up to Maiden Kerry even said himself being interviewed on That Metal Show. So if you really think about it without a iron maiden there wouldn't even be a slayer and ALOT of other bands too.

Iron Maiden is great, so don't get me wrong. But I like the heavier, more aggressive stuff, so I'm going with Slayer.
