I'm surprised by the lack of Iron Maiden

[–] PapaStevesy@midwest.social 25 points 7 months ago (1 children)

It's the most popular bands from each country, not the most popular bands in each country. So Maiden could have only been in the UK and Sabbath beat them out.

For some reason I thought they were huge in Brazil and the rest of South America too.

They very well might be, but they're not from Brazil or the rest of South America, so it's irrelevant.

Oh shoot, I completely misread the title. I thought it was each country's favorite metal band, not where they're from. Whoops!

No worries, looks like op changed the title at some point, so you may have just seen the old one.

Sabbath > Maiden any day of the week.

[–] Sylvartas@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

As someone who loves both, I have to agree.

Yeah, but Black Sabbath literally created (Heavy) Metal due to Tony Iommi's accident.
