Rate Your Maiden!

Hey Guys,

 I love Iron Maiden. Love them like my mama! LOL, okay not like that, but definitely, probably, maybe even more!

Maiden has given us 15 albums to relish (or not so much sometimes), and if you've got the Maiden know-how, I'd like to hear how you would order their albums in terms of quality. So many good moments to choose from.

 Here goes:

1. Iron Maiden
2. Piece of Mind
3. Brave New World
4. A Matter of Life and Death
5. Number of the Beast
6. Powerslave
7. Somewhere in Time
8. Killers
9. Seventh Son of a Seventh Son
10. Fear of the Dark
11. A Matter of Life and Death
12. No Prayer for the Dying
13. The Final Frontier
14. Virtual XI
15. The X Factor

Sorry not a Blaze fan...and even if Dickinson sang on those albums, the songs weren't all that good, imo...

Okay your turn. Ready, set, go!

1. Somewhere in Time
2. Powerslave

15. Virtual XI
Anything from number 9 to 13 could be placed randomly.

Yeah, I meant Dance of Death before A Matter of Life and Death, thanks for the catch!

I totally agree about Paschendale. I don't know if it would bump it back two places, but I would definitely reconsider its rank!

im the only one who likes the blaze era 

1. Powerslave

Wow, debut album didn't do so hot. I'm really surprised! To me that album is so punk so metal, so progressive and so straight up rock that it hurts!! To me, it's like Sabbath coming out, you know? JUST LOVE IT!!

I'm glad to see Brave New World at the top of some lists. Great album, that, unfortunately, suffers production-wise imo. But one of their best......your time will come! your time will cooo--OO--weeeoooommeeee!

Showing my age somewhat here. However, lest not forget the importance of the debut. Hearing it played in 1980 with Di'Anno was a truly amazing experience and probably, for me, never eclipsed.

I can understand, however, younger people not getting it to my personal extent. As it is, maybe, with the NWoBHM era overall. Hey ho.

Yeah that�s one hell of a metal "classic" you�ve missed out on.

^Many factors, guys. For many reasons, I never had access to that album particulary, and never wanted to download illegally. I will see if a friend could lend me a copy (even a digital copy...)
