What is your alltime favourite Iron Maiden album? Cast a vote.

Well, for me "Fear of the Dark" maybe the favourite, since the title track and few other songs just greats.

Alll songs on "Number of the Beast" are good....IMO!

Hard to say. I could clearly name my least favourite, which happens to be No Prayer...

I voted for Brave New World, as it was my very first Metal album, and i still think that it has a very special atmosphere on tracks like BNW, Blood Brothers and Nomad... and Dream of Mirrors.. and Ghost of the Navigator.. and so on

The perfect kick-ass metal album from Maiden is Powerslave though, which is second on my list.

It's really hard to choose... for me all Maiden albums (except the ones with blaze) are excellent.

however I chose Powerslave... and the second one is Number of the Beast.

Powerslave, Because of Aces high and 2 Minutes to Midnight.

Somewhere in Time...the musics and the artwork rules....impossible to choose only one...i know, but...i think SIT a classic and them shows the first steps to the power metal...u can see more power things, but i think in a porgressive way in 7th son of a 7th son

I don't have all albums, but Seventh Son of a Sevent Son is a total masterpiece.

Fear of the Dark rules!!!!

TOUGH CALL TO MAKE I'M TORN

Powerslave's where its at. from a killer opening, to an epic ending!!

Brave New World.

7th son

Don't have all the albums, but my vote goes to "7th Son", followed by "Somewhere in Time".

seventh son is the best for atuation of adrian smith and you guitars with a new style of song: sintetized guitars....adrian rox

I come with the first, because without it there would not be the others. It's the most influent Maiden album and the most covered, and it contains the song "Iron Maiden", the most Maidenish song ever created.


NP: Helicon - Black And White

Somewhere In Time, there's no doub about it

Geez, where are the Blaze fans?

Here. But those two albums have really not a very good songwriting, i like em though...

What do i want to say? Ah yes: Its not only Blaze´s fault that those 2 cds arent that great. Yeah

Listening to the Blaze albums, of course. Blaze in Iron Maiden...nah. Blaze on his own...yeah!

^^^ I think X-factor has few killer-tracks, but I have to admit.. don't like Blaze's singing at all :-/

But still, best album ever from IM even you just look the cover to make decision, Somewhere in...

"Alexander the great, his name struck fear into hearts of men"

Agreed guys. I finally could listen to his solo-material...
But i kind of like X-Factor a lot...the War/Sadness Theme in those songs is really involving...and the cover´s great too!

X Factor blows everything else out of the water

Few questions are easier for me to answer... Piece Of Mind all the way.

Both of them (Number... and 7th) are probably the albums of Maiden that established a certain level in metal standards, but also Piece of Mind set up the typical sound of the band, with Powerslave.

Dance Of Death!

Good one!

It´s hard to choose only one. Even Fear of The Dark can be chosen , because it´s a really well done album full of good moments, although it was released in the grunge era and the best years of Metallica and Guns´n´Roses, and probably lot of people didn´t pay enough attention to this excelent album.
