1. Killers
2. Iron Maiden
3. Piece of Mind

I've always preferred Paul Di'Anno over Bruce Dickinson and those first 2 albums were so raw.

Debut
Killers
(Maiden Japan)
Number

top songs will most likely include all tracvks on the debut and fill the rest with some from Killers.

Don't get me wrong, I like the Dickinson era, but I was a Maiden fan right from their debut album.

prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

Back in my teen years I overdosed on Maiden. Waaaaaay too much Maiden in one go..or one year…but this has effectively brought me off them for over 20 years.
Anyhoo the one I always reach for and consequently also their best release per my tastebuds is Live After Death.
As for pure studio albums? Powerslave, Killers, Somewhere In Time and Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son.

I think The Final Frontier is one of their worst albums. Funny and interesting how we all see things differently. Smile

The Final Frontier would be in my top 3 LOL
Take me down, to the underground
Won't you take me down, to the underground
Why oh why, there is no light
And if I can't sleep, can you hold my life

Yeah, I think I just have an odd opinion on Iron Maiden albums. I have Seventh Son as one of my least favorite Iron Maiden albums and can't stand a lot a good chunk of that album, but to each their own Smile

SSOTSS blew my mind when I was a teenager. For me it's an all killer no filler album. Top 3 Maiden albums for me. LOL

The only later day album I really like is Brave New World.

Iron Maiden's Number of the Beast and Piece of Mind albums were real Killers, but after that, all of their albums failed to take off with me, unlike their pilot Bruce Dickinson. Smile

To be honest, after Dianno left I think they lost their mojo. I like Powerslave but I can't deal with the epic length tracks, including Rime of the Ancient Mariner. They seemed to succumb to formula by then, and Dickinson's got kind of a pitchy quality to me.

I dunno, nothing they did after Killers had the same viscera or punch. But Killers, though? Now that's a great f**kin' album. Wall to wall hits.

Love, DreamTechPlus.
