All three are great, classic metal bands. So, which of the three is your favorite?

For me, it's Sabbath, though I love all three :D.

Wow, for once I both know and like all of the choices available. :P

Gotta go with Sabbath, though.

I say Maiden. They have a more developed sound than Sabbath and far more mature lyrics than Judas Priest's (Seriously-"Leather Rebel"?)

Love'em all, though :)

None of them interest me in the least bit, but Maiden is the best out of them.

Maiden. I love sabbath and they are the granddaddys,and priest is cool. But maiden just has a very long very good career,and some of the music is fantastic in ways that most metal is not.

Iron Maiden by a landslide. I never really cared for sabbath...they have a few great songs but most of their stuff ranges from just all right to a massive snooze fest... Priest...they have some truly fantastic albums....but nothing they made even comes close to touching Powerslave:P

Same here, interestingly enough. I like Priest, but Maiden simply offers a superior musical experience all around-better lyrics, better riffs, and (arguably) better singing.

I don't listen to Maiden or Judas Priest, but you have to give credit to Sabbath for being one of the original metal bands if not the absolute original. Plus their simple power chord riffs kick so much ass. I love theirslow metal style (like Iron Man, War Pigs, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath), it's just plain badass. And Tony Iommi kicks out some sick solos too. Not too mention Ozzy on vocals, scary andweird in the best way possible.

Black Sabbath by far. I find Iron Maiden to be slightly overrated. I really like a few of their songs but some of them sound boring to me. Judas Priest is a great band but I haven't really heard much of their older stuff (pre British Steel), which apparently is better.

I think Painkiller is their best work, personally, but they seem completely incapable of writing mature lyrics.

The lyrics from Nostradamus seem more dark than their other songs. I don't know if that makes them more mature but I think they're better.

I just can't take the lyrics of anything like "Leather Rebel" seriously. Great song, but seriously..."Leather Rebel"? It's just fine for a songwriter to write lyrics like that when they're 15, 20, or even 25. But when you're almost 40? Seriously? I mean-I love Priest, but their lyrics are usually as nonsensical as those of Helloween's song "Rise and Fall".

It's a great album, no doubt about it. I definitely think it's their best, followed by Angel of Retribution. I think Armored Saint's Sybol of Salvation is superior, however. In fact, Symbol of Salvation is one of my three favorite albums.

Whoof! A tough choice indeed as I think they are all great bands. Even though I think that Sabbath is by far the superior band, I've just always loved those Iron Maiden songs more so I'll go with Maiden.

didnt know it was on till you told me, thx. already got the soundtrack and its awesome. they played all the best songs minus caught somewhere in time and some others.. but omg the powerslave was amazing. also priest > maiden > sabbath. priest put out soo many classic albums in the 70's!... and stained class was a better album than anything iron maiden did until powerslave. if it wernt for priest their wouldnt be a maiden. priest took nothing from sabbath though since sab was a early doom rock band, and priest evolved from a Led Zeppelin wanna be band.

Iron Maiden is a little bit overrated, IMO. I'm going with Black Sabbath, since all their songs are winners. Not so with Iron Maiden - just go listen to Gangland or their newest album.
