Which of these bands named after a creature with a potentially deadly sting is your favorite?

I have yet to listen to more than a couple of tracks by each, so sadly I can´t vote, but I suspect that W.A.S.P. would probably suit my tastes better han Scorpions.

I would probably agree with that assessment.  W.A.S.P. have a more edgy metal sound than the Scorpions.

Can't compare those 2 bands, both in different genre. 
By the way W.A.S.P doesn't stand for deadly sting ;) it stands for White Anglo Saxon Protestants.

Actually, in their case I think that it stands for We Are Sexual Perverts.

I like both bands. Early Scorpions definately the best but Wasp has some highly addictive albums as well

in an interview when asked about what their band name meant, Blackie answered "We Aren't Sure Pal" LOL

Scorpions got my vote

 (I wouldn't put these two bands in a poll though)

Easily Scorpions for me.  Some of their stuff is cheesy, but I really like their stuff from the mid to late 70s.  I haven't heard anything from WASP that I like that much.

I really like both bands, but W.A.S.P. gets my vote. The Headless Children is a masterpiece, but they have no shortage of great albums. Scorpions is great too, they have a lot more weak moments in their discography though.

I've never been a fan of either, like with Scorpions I mostly only enjoy their first couple more prog albums. With W.A.S.P. I haven't heard enough but I do love 'The Headless Children' Smile 

That's cool that you enjoy them though Smile
