Best band ever is a broad question that always has to be broken down into lesser catagories. An argument can be made that Iron Maiden is the best pure Heavy Metal band ever. Maiden never had a heavy rotation radio hit that other metal bands on the same level with them enjoyed. Metallica is recognized as the Kings of heavy metal - but if you talk to the members of Metallica, they have nothing but praise for Iron Maiden. The 80s tours supporting - Number of the Beast, Piece of Mind, Powerslave, and Somewhere in Time were massive in both audience and the show.

I did. But that was in 1986 before hearing Master of Puppets for the first time. Never recovered.
And looking back, those striped spandex pants were cheesy. There are also just so many times you can watch Bruce Dickinson doing battle with a 20ft tall zombie made out of egg cartons and the tubes from toilet paper. Donnington "Somewhere in Time" set was a cracker with Bruce ending up scooshing the ever-wobbly Eddie with a huge gun that shot dry ice. Scary or what.
And fair enough Back in the Village or Run to the Hills can still make the hairs on the nape of your neck stand up. But for every killer riff and cracking solo you've also got to remember just how cheesy 22 Acacia Avenue really is. Read the lyrics. Now. You can't really say that is the product of the "best band ever" can you? Come on.

Iron Maiden are a great band, but best band ever i'd have to say no. Bands like Guns n Roses and Led Zeppelin take some beating, also, Metallica are probably the best heavy metal band.

Glad you like them, but I think you should listen to a very wide variety of music beyond the narrow definitions of pop/rock before you choose the "best band ever."

The best band ever? They'd be a bunch of nobody's, if their singer wasn't an alcoholic.."In-A-Gadda-Da-Vita", was actually supposed to be.."In the garden of eden.."
