[Urban Art Balloons]

[Ninjas can be gangsters]

Not even ow!!!!

 

[Dave o]

it certainly could be depending on how you look at it MI. should tell you a bit about me, eventhough it's not typical of what's been offered up so far. seems ya'll have the metal banRAB of the eighties down fairly well. although i would suggest you check the option for sabbath. they got started the decade prior.

[ashhhxD]

Mine of course Iron Maiden.

 

[Chillen yet confused]

This is really hard- Maiden, Priest, Metallica, Sabbath and Pantera are all amongst my fave banRAB. If I really had to choose though, it would probably be Maiden...

 

[thetazeta610]

LMFAO!

 

[bps_iove]

iron maiden, helloween and metallica

 

[Lyssa Joy]

**** i can't decide, i love pantera, maiden, sabbath, judus priest, metallica.

 

[Palmtree Panic]

I guess no one likes Judas Priest or twisted sisters... well thats the eighty's for you.

 

[GrnEyedGurl]

sabbath are the metal blueprint for me.

 

[martyleo12]

Pantera.......Those guys were just insane

 

[ihate.people]

I always thought Black Sabbath were horrible in the 80s, i voted for Metallica.

 

[hiboshi91]

I'm actually ashamed of you guys that I was the only person so far to vote Pantera. None of the other banRAB even come close to Pantera.

 

[freddy b]

damnit, another 7 gone!

 

[lilspaceboy]

^ It's good, this is one of the few polls I've seen with a decent judgement and variety on choices.

 

[Sikander7]

Maiden.

 

[yussif]

lol- yeah, that's the same with me.

 

[Xzcuais]

O_O

I guess you dont consider GnR metal.

 

[livinloudon215s]

for some reason iv always hated black sabbath and iv never REALLY liked iron maiden either. I gave metallica my vote

 

[SLS]

Right lets go through the list....

Iron Maiden - Good for the first 6 years
Judas Priest - Most of my favourite of theirs was in the 70s
Black Sabbath - Crap in the 80s
Slayer - Solid during the 80s , don`t think their stuff since is up to much
Twisted Sister - Good fun , but nothing really long lasting
Anthrax - Could give or take them , Spreading The Disease , Among The Living , Persistence Of Time & the Public Enemy stuff was good but I hated everything else
Quiet Riot - Their best songs were covers , mind you I wouldn`t mind hearing the 2 albums they put out in Japan in the late 70s when Randy Rhodes was in the band
Pantera - Never really warmed to them
Metallica - I liked their first 3 albums but i`ve never thought they were anything special
Poison - No , just no.

On the basis of 80s material i`d say it`s between Maiden & Slayer.
I`ll go for Maiden.
