My vote goes to the one that never had Ripper as a singer.

This shall require some thought!

 

[Black Wizard]

I don't know.

 

[LooseCannon]

Nope, I'm staying out of this one.

Why you here then?

 

[Luke]

Sweet Judas.

 

[The Flash]

Why you here then?

Because the matchup is not shown on the title?

Queeeen!

 

[Night Prowler]

Faaaaarce!

 

[Cornfed Hick]

How is it a farce? Both are deserving to be in the semis. Queen wins, in my book, because they were better musicians and performers across the board. They could play metal with the best of them, but had a much more diverse range. Every Queen album is worth owning except Hot Stuff (every band is permitted at least one clunker). Also, Queen gave arguably the greatest live performance by any artist, ever (below) -- I did not care for "Radio Ga-Ga" until I saw this on TV, and then it gave me goosebumps (still does).

Truly trivial trivia: This concert took place on my 15th birthday. I was supposed to leave for my party, but refused to leave until this performance was over.

I voted Priest, but I have no problem whatsoever with a Queen win.
They are amazing.

 

[bearfan]

Queen .. Priest is pretty mixed for me

 

[Luke]

This song > anything Queen has ever done.
