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 3. Seventh Son of a Seventh Son 4. Number of the Beast 5. Piece of Mind 6. Iron Maiden 7. Brave New World 8. Dance of Death 9. A Matter of Life and Death 10. Killers 11. The Final Frontier 12. No Prayer for the Dying 13. The X Factor 14. Fear of the Dark 15. Virtual XI In reality, 1-10 is a shared first place (Maiden's my favorite music artist of all times across all genres). The only Iron Maiden album that I don't like is "Virtual XI" - I think that there is some good stuff on "The X Factor" and that Blaze does a fine job on that one (he's awful on "Virtual XI", but so is the rest of the band). By the way, I noted that you listed "A Matter of Life and Death" twice as 4 and 11... I assume one of them was supposed to be "Dance of Death". -------------

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! |

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! |

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.

No, but the Dickinson era is better. Some songs of Blaze are great: Futureal, Man on the Edge, Virus, The Sign of The Cross, Clansman... My list: 1. Powerslave 2. Seventh Son of Seven Son 3. A Matter of Life and Death (my favorite album post-reunion!) 4. Somewhere in Time (this album gets better every time I listen!) 5. Piece of Mind 6. Brave New World 7. Iron Maiden 8. Dance of Death 9. Killers 10. Fear of The Dark 11. No Prayer for the Dying 12. Virtual XI Never listened to X-Factor  ...And yes, I NEVER LISTENED TO NUMBER OF THE BEAST!

Why/how on Earth have you listened to enough Maiden to even form an opinion of them and not heard The Number of the Beast!? That is a contender for best ALBUM of all time in metal circles, much less Maiden circles.
Not judging, just mind = blown.
LISTEN TO IT ASAP. Not hearing it is akin to voluntarily not orgasming. Ever.

I'm not too familiar with any Maiden album after Brave New World (though I used to own Dance of Death), and don't know the Blaze albums either aside from the ones with videos. Keeping that in mind, here is my current ranking of Maiden with my favorite at the top. 1. Killers 2. Powerslave 3. Piece of Mind 4. The Number of the Beast 5. Iron Maiden 6. Seventh Son of a Seventh Son 7. Somewhere In Time 8. Fear Of The Dark 9. No Prayer For The Dying Not actually sure where I'd put Brave New World as I'm mainly familiar with the live versions from Rock In Rio. ------------- https://armchairmaestro.com/" rel="nofollow - My Music Blog |

Well, let's see. I've reviewed and rated them all at some point, and looking at the ratings they all seem quite fair. But the order... 1. Seventh Son of a Seventh Son 2. Somewhere in Time 3. Brave New World 4. The Number of the Beast 5. Powerslave 6. Piece of Mind Here it gets more difficult... 7. A Matter of Life and Death 8. The Final Frontier 9. Iron Maiden 10. Dance of Death 11. The X Factor 12. Virtual XI 13. Fear of the Dark 14. Killers 15. No Prayer for the Dying I think they're all pretty good albums.

Wow, I must confess I have a hard time seeing an album in the top 7 positions that wasn't released by 1988. Seriously. Anyway, my list looks something like this: 1. Powerslave 2. Somewhere in Time 3. The Number of the Beast 4. Piece of Mind 5. Seventh Son 6. Iron Maiden 7. Killers --------------- The GREAT and NECESSARY. I find that there is no correct order for these masterpieces of heavy metal. Each order is correct. 8. Fear of the Dark (a 3 song album) 9. No Prayer for the Dying 10. Dance of Death 11. Brave New World 12. A Matter of Life and Death -------------------- Some great songs or some good songs. Don't listen to the album entirely, just some songs. 13. The Final Frontier 14. The X- Factor 15. Virtual XI ------------------- Seriously Maiden? ------------- 42 |

Maiden are my favourite metal band, but even after so much listening, putting their albums into a rank order is difficult. Let's have a go (first three or so subject to change at a moment's notice!): 1. Seventh Son of a Seventh Son 2. Powerslave 3. Somewhere in Time 4. Piece of Mind 5. The Number of the Beast 6. A Matter of Life and Death 7. Brave New World 8. Iron Maiden 9. Killers 10. The Final Frontier 11. Dance of Death 12. The X Factor (quite underrated in my opinion!) 13. Fear of the Dark 14. No Prayer for the Dying 15. Virtual XI |

If I were to list my Maiden favorites, I would not be able to formulate a full list, seeing as I like most of the albums the same. The ones I do like the most however: 1. Somewhere in Time 2. Piece of Mind 3. Powerslave 4. Seventh Son Of a Seventh Son All other albums are good, just not as liked by me.

I. Powerslave II. Seventh Son of a Seventh Son III. Number of the Beast IV. Somewhere in Time V. Piece of Mind VI. Iron Maiden VII. Killers VIII. Brave New World IX. Dance of Death X. A Matter of Life and Death XI. The Final Frontier XII. Fear of the Dark XIII. No Prayer for the Dying XIV. The X Factor XV. Virtual XI I hate absolutely none of the albums though. The early Dickinson albums make the siren one of my top five tenor vocalists, up there with Midnight, Halford, and Dio. |
