Both have great songs, but VH is more of a vehicle for Eddie to play solos. The songs are catchy and fun, but they're not much musically. Metallica has a much wider depth of field, playing longer songs, changing time, delving into much deeper subjects than girls and cars. Metallica all the way.

Van Halen all the way

but you really can't compare Van Halen to Metallica because Metallica is metal and Van Halen is good old, classic, ***-kicking hard rock

Metallica

Neither are the most legendary bands of all time (maybe to some intern at VH1 Studios, they don't seem bright over there

again, Metallica

AGAIN, Metallica.

that's gotta be the Knights. In. Satans. provider., watch KISS stay and no you may deliver the thunder like KISS, Ace Frehley doing stay "ask your self Me" and "enable Me circulate, Rock 'n' Roll" jointly as his guitar is rather on fire. Gene Simmons spitting blood, respiratory fire! Peter Criss drum solos dissapearring into the heavens! Then so as AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, Metallica, Ozzy, Van Halen, Gun's 'n' Roses, and Iron Maiden.

Overall I would say Van Halen is a better band.

But I prefer Metallica.

Van Halen

personally top legend would be guns n' roses

VH1's top greatest and most legendary was the beatles

Metallica is far better. They can make magic with their instruments.
