Do you like listening to Judas Priest and/or Iron Maiden?

 

[-fish-]

Yes to Maiden, no to Judas Priest.

 

[STEADYMOBBIN 22]

Once in awhile when I’m running or lifting hard but that’s different than liking it.

 

[Raging weasel]

Big yes to both!

 

[Brunell4MVP]

Both when in the mood. Far prefer Iron Maiden's catalog despite my undying affection for Turbo Lover.

We hold each other closer as we shift to overdrive
And everything goes rushing by, with every nerve alive

 

[Scoresman]

Would definitely not include them in a top 200 80s list.

 

[KGB]

Yes to Maiden, no to Judas Priest.

Me too, lets be friends

 

[Zow]

"Listen to Iron Maiden baby with me..."

 

[Zow]

Yes to Maiden, no to Judas Priest.

Me too, lets be friends

Hey same here!

 

[Vanco]

Yes!

 

[Ghost Rider]

Of course.

 

[Yankee23Fan]

Maiden

 

[Ilov80s]

In small doses but I am never actively putting them on

 

[otb_lifer]

Maiden by far ... much more bombastic and operatic.

which i like.

 

[massraider]

Nah, but I enjoyed Heavy Metal Parking Lot

 

[foxco]

Love both. Still listen to both.

"Listen to Iron Maiden baby with me..."

That's something a teenage dirtbag would say.

 

[rockaction]

Don't really ever listen to them -- nor did I ever -- but I get their appeal and to whom they appeal. My friends growing up liked them. It just wasn't my speed.

I can get behind some of their songs and enjoy them if they come on, but to listen to a full album would be a bit much.

i would say "You've Got Another Thing Comin'" is the best of their combined songs if I had to pick. "Wasted Years" and "Run To The HIlls" are also pretty excellent tracks.

 

[kevzilla]

I got Peter O'Toole drunk in the lobby of the Four Seasons in San Antonio with multiple members of Judas Priest, so yeah.

Iron Maiden is great if you're riding a horse

 

[northern exposure]

"Listen to Iron Maiden baby with me..."

Also this lyric for Canadians on these boards:
"Heavy metal and mullets, it's how we were raised
Maiden and Priest were the gods that we praised"

I bet they liked having fun at other people's expenses.

Surprising results...I literally don't know a single person that would say "put on some Maiden"

 

[KarmaPolice]

Yes, but I only seem to purposely listen to Maiden.

 

[Todem]

Up the Irons!!!

Looking at the RR HOF voting, I’‘ve never heard anyone request Kate Bush.

 

[=Smackdown=]

Love both - slightly prefer Iron Maiden. Will never stop listening to either.

As long as they are alive I will continue to see them live every chance I get.

”I don’t always listen to ‘80’s metal, but when I do, so do my neighbors !!!”

Well with that kind of evidence…

 

[otb_lifer]

- interesting to look back at Halford's lyrics about two pronged objects and full moons ...

They've sold over 130 million records. It's possible that there may be people who listen to different music than you.
I've never heard anyone say "put on some Taylor Swift", but I'm not surprised that people do.

What about the Smiths?

The fact that they are not in the Rock n Roll HOF is a complete joke.

Correct, no one would say that - the operative words are to "crank some Maiden".

 

[Hawks64]

Yes to Maiden, no to Judas Priest.

No good voting option for me here.

It's actually..."up the irons!!!"

I don't know anybody IRL the thinks Raiders of the Lost Ark is awesome, either.

We all have different experiences.

I can't imagine caring what some random business thinks about a band. Rock and Roll by it's very nature shouldn't have a hall of fame. The concept of gaining the approval of a bunch of old people is the joke to me.

I’ll bet if you would have asked “Do you often listen to Iron Maiden or Judas Priest?” The results would have been much different.

[Dragons]

Big fan of Maiden.

 

[massraider]

Not sure the OP believes this.

 

[Ghost Rider]

Surprising results...I literally don't know a single person that would say "put on some Maiden"

I literally don't know a single person who has ever said, "put on some Beyonce or Drake."

THEREFORE, NO ONE LISTENS TO THEM.

Is that how this works?

 

[belljr]

I don't go out of my way to listen but enjoy if they come on a station i am listening too

It was very recently that a couple songs I really like were done by Priest/Maiden and I had no idea

My answer would have been the same. Maiden was one of my first musical loves, and I still listen to a fair amount of them.

 

[Keerock]

I don't purposefully listen to either. Or Taylor Swift. I do listen to The Smiths often. Lukewarm on Raiders of the Lost Ark.

 

[Grace Under Pressure]

Odd poll that I couldn't vote on the two bands separately. I enjoy Maiden quite a bit, Judas Priest, eh. Overall it's a yes.

 

[massraider]

I was a big Maiden fan, but was really disappointed the one time I saw them. They opened for Elvis Costello, and the fans weren't feeling it.
