Absolutely. The created an unique style and sound and are very original and prolific in their recordings. Each album they record automatically becomes a Heavy Metal classic, since their first one in 1980 until the most recent. They are also terrific musicians as well. Though there are many great groups in the Heavy Metal scene, only Iron Maiden is always one step forward. They are the real masters of the genre.

Dragonforce's music is definetly influenced by Iron Maiden, so they can't be better.\n\nThey both are great, but I would say Iron Maiden.

Wrong, harleyman.  \n\nLed Zeppelin was the first band who was described as "Heavy Metal". They released albums from 1969 to 1982.  One of the most versatile, hard rocking and timeless bands.\n\nVocals - Robert Plant\nGuitar, other strings - Jimmy Page\nDrums - John Bonham (died 1980)\nBass, Keyboard - John Paul Jones

I think I like Rammstein because of how unique they are. They describe themselves as "Dance Metal" and really, that's not a bad description. Plus, they don't go so far into intricacies, as opposed to just flowing smoothly. \n\nAnd lyrically, they're just fantastic. Take a song like Du Riechst So Gut, and actually get it translated. It's so poetic and beautiful that you couldn't possible expect that to be a metal song, but they do it :)\n\nFavorites are so tough to choose. I think that Sehnsucht flowed easiest from beginning to end, but it's truly hard to say. My favorite song changes all the time, but right now is either Alter Mann or Moskau.

Metal is still alive and well.\n\nAs for my favourite song, I'd have to say "Run to the Hills" by Iron Maiden.  In fact, pretty much anything by Maiden.  Or Sabbath.  Or AC/DC.  Or Disturbed.  In fact, pretty well any metal is good metal.
