Somewhere in Time is the best, closely followed by Seventh Son of A Seventh Son.

Always believed Powerslave is overrated. It has its bright spots but it never worked for me as good as SiT/SSoaSS.
This night wounds time.

Voted for the first. One of those great debut albums. But I suppose the most mature effort is Powerslave; Caveat; I don't know all the albums. I just compare the tight powerful hard rock of the Di Anno years with the extended epic works that define Powerslave and Piece Of Mind.

Never quite got behind the press push of Number Of The Beast. Thought that was a bit of a hype but I do think Hallowed be Thy Name is a good indication of things to come.

The Final Frontier I think would be a good album for prog rock fans though.

Every Maiden album offers something new, whilst being 'business as usual' - at least they keep it fresh. They've always had their PROG influences, now, in the new millennium, they have virtually become Prog-Metal. I'm loving The Book Of Souls. Roll on, May 6..............I'll be the guy in the crowd in the Meshuggah T-Shirt

Easy for me. Somewhere in Time as I was still very much into heavy rock when it came out (I was 17) and although I had already started on the journey to progressive rock,  I still had one foot in the heavy rock camp. Plus it really felt that there were trying to do something new at the time.

toss up between NOTB, Powerslave, and 7th Son for me... those 3 albums are definitely my favs. I can't choose one.
I liked No Prayer For The Dying quite a lot, but didn't like Fear Of The Dark.
 
the blaze bailey albums were poor imo, even though I loved Blaze's other band Wolfsbane.
 
the albums since Bruce returned don't do it for me, although Brave New World is okay. find the rest draggy and boring. the latest Book Of Souls is hard to even listen to...

Number Of The Beast. One of the best albums of all time IMO. Hallowed Be Thy Name, Run To The Hills, The Prisoner... Not a bad song

I like X Factor, too, but sadly the following Virtual XI is their worst.

After years listening to Maiden, only When the Wild Wind Blows sound interesting to me, so my vote goes to The Final Frontier.
Please, forgive my spelling and concordance mistakes. English noob here.

Pleased to see The Final Frontier getting a few votes as that one is growing on me.

Voted for the cliché answer of Powerslave, maybe because that is the one I heard first? I'm kind of surprised that one is leading and not Seventh Son since I imagine that would appeal the most to progressive rock fans out of their classic albums.

They have many good ones. Killers is the album I return to most often, so that ones gets my vote. The Number of the Beast, Powerslave and Somewhere in Time are close joint seconds though.

Number of the beast.

Always enjoyed it more than any other Maiden album. Bruces vocals were best on that album too, in my opinion. It was a very screamy album, but on the albums that followed he warbled too much. I thought at times he was about to start yodelling.

Piece of Mind and Powerslave had great moments too. The first two albums were good when they came out, but Dianno's vocals were no match for Bruce. I lost interest in Maiden after Somewhere in Time.
Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!
