As usual, vote for your favourite. Winner moves on, loser goes home.

Pantera. But they will lose.

 

[The Flash]

Don't care for either band but Van Halen are less annoying.

 

[Crimson Idol]

Hmm, on first thought both have roughly the same amount of material I enjoy, and to the same degree...

..this shall require some thought :O

 

[MrKnickerbocker]

I cannot stand Van Halen, especially with DLR. Not a huge Pantera fan, but lesser of two evils and all...

 

[Forostar]

Difficult. Both bands did a few albums that I liked, and a bit more than a few works that were less to my liking.

 

[Moon Child]

Pantera...because I can't stand Van Halen.

 

[Brigantium]

Pantera

 

[Forostar]

+1

 

[LooseCannon]

Pantera by a hair.

 

[Black Wizard]

Pantera are good but massively overrated (particularly because Dimebag was shot) and I'm not familiar with much that Van Halen have done.

 

[Perun]

Pantera.

Oh they were overrated long before he was shot. Still, Van Halen isn't my cup of tea, so it's Pantera by default.

 

[Collin]

Pantera

 

[Saapanael]

I like both a little and I dislike both a little. No vote.
