Twisted Sister, Dee's voice is easier on the ears, especially when listening to an entire album.

I voted for TS.

Tie. They're both two-hit wonders.

I like them both pretty much equally, but for the sake of the poll I'll go with QR.

TS's catalog is way better than QR. It's also much better than I wanna rock and we're not gonna take it

QRIII alone is a far better album than anything TS ever graced us with - as is the self-titled album with Shortino.

I'm gonna give the edge to TS because their hit songs were their songs.

Add "Lookin' Out for #1" "Under the Blade" and "The Fire Still Burns" and you have a best of cd that I almost would buy. If cheap.

I like Metal Health a lot more than any Twisted Sister albums. But I probably like more Twisted Sister songs.

Going for Quiet Riot as I listen to Metal Health more than I listen to Twisted Sister.

Of the 4 good songs the 2 groups have between them, I like MH best.

So, QR.

Theyre the same thing - early 80s metal bands with two hits that couldn't keep up once more bands started popping up. Both had incredibly stupid looking, charmless frontmen. Both have embarrassingly bad catalogues and couldn't fill a 45 minute opening set with listenable songs.

Talking about one being better than the other is like splitting hairs. I like QR more, but acting like there's some gap between them is laughable.

Yikes... not many bands I wasn't into much from that era, but these are two of them. Quiet Riot by a (wig) hair.

Never gave QRIII a shot. Guess I should. Wild and the Young is their 3rd best Dubrow tune.

Word. Outside of half the MH record, QR’s discography sucks balls. I admired and liked Kevin on a couple of different levels but the bottom line is, he was a miserable coke out douche bag

QR has like 5 songs I'll listen to while TS has none, so I went QR. Plus, Dubrow rocking that wig was awesome.
