    consistently composed great songs

    Iron Maiden is the obvious example. But agreed that it is difficult to consistently write great songs.

      I rather find that Iron Maiden is probably one of the more consistent bands with its output, actually. You either like them or you don’t, and that’s a good thing by itself because it shows that, regardless of musical taste, they know their trade. Its not an easy thing to be consistent.

      With Black Sabbath, I have a lot more problems because they have entire albums which are, for me, quite terrible from a song writing perspective. I don’t mean a couple of songs, I mean from start to finish. If I pick one record I haven’t listened to yet, I just have no idea if I’m going to like it or not.

      With Quiet Riot I agree. They have records which honestly kind of suck.
