[YosemiteSam]

Eat all kinds of ***. It's Seventh Son of a Seventh Son.

Prove me wrong!

There isn't a wrong answer but this is like picking your favorite kid.

 

[Idgit]

Blech.

The right answer is, of course, Piece of Mind. Going away.

 

[JohnnyTheFox]

The album which debuted Bruce Dickinson of course.

Tattooed Millionaire?

Just kidding. Beast is an obvious choice, and it's a great album too. At least it didn't feature synthesizers. Jesus, Sam.

Heh heh... Saw your sig... Meant to talk about these guys.

These guys were amazing. The guitar harmonies adrian and Dave, what a combo.... the bass, well the bass of steve harris... He was out there playing bass like a guitar... Had his own riffs instead of just background filler.... Nico McBrain - Awesome! Then there is bruce, Dianno was nice but Bruce was on another level. Listen to the scream at the end of run to the hills. "Run


Their rise started with "running free" and from killers album - murders in the rue morgue.
They showed they were going to be a force when Bruce came on for number of the beast album.

Blech.

The right answer is, of course, Piece of Mind. Going away.

It is their best work. It's #1
Revelations is awesome!
Die with your boots on.... The whole album rocks!

Tattooed Millionaire?

Beast is so close that's it's 1a for me.
The prisoner... I'm not a number... I'm a free man...

Being a maiden fan in the 80s and jones'n for more maiden... I enjoyed powerslave and somewhere in time....

After that album I go black. I can't really listen to them after that.


So... Sam.... That's were you are wrong! Haha!


I saw them in Nassau coliseum in 1986 with ACCEPT - get your balls to the wall

Been meaning to go the last couple of years. Gotta get to another show!

I'll pick my favorite child and it's Moonchild!

Steve Harris

 

[BrAinPaiNt]

From the first to No Prayer for the dying you can't go wrong...heck I even liked some things on Fear of the dark as well.

 

[Khartun]

What? No mention of Powerslave?!?!



Seriously though, it's impossible to pick a favorite. They are all pretty damn good. I'm a big fan of the Di'Anno stuff as well.

 

[BrAinPaiNt]

Here is a cool bonus...Bruce with Rob.



There is a live version out there that even has Geoff Tate singing with them but Rob's pants in that video...

 

[LittleBoyBlue]

Actually, this song is great ... Didn't realize it was on 7th







Man on the edge. - my Dianno favorite

Hahaha, those things should be outlawed.

See the thing about Seventh Son album is it's a departure of sort from standard Maiden. Many people didn't take to it like they did to the other albums. You really have to listen to it many times to begin to fully see (and feel) it's subtleties and dynamic ranges that fit together so well. It's like a mathematical masterpiece with incredible flow, but so many people never really gave it the effort because of how different it was compared to Maiden's previous work.

Not to mention Bruce is freaking spectacular in it even compared to how great he normally is. That's saying a lot.

 

[Aggie87]

For me it's a tie between Killers & Number of the Beast.

I saw Iron Maiden open for KISS in 1980, with Paul Di'Anno & Dennis Stratton. Iron Maiden blew KISS off the stage, no two ways around it.

By chance did anyone remember today is Bruce's birthday?

Oh that right, I did.

 

[daschoo]

I would probably go Powerslave though Brave New World is probably the one I listen to most
