I was just pondering this myself! 

My one suggested fav is "Starless and Bible Black" by King Crimson.  Folks on PA seem enraptured with "Red," but I think SBB is superior.

A few more listens and I may well get around to this assessment, too. SMM's debut is great as well.

Yes, it's difficult with Threshold, because their discography is so very even in quality, isn't it? I know Hypothetical always got a lot of love back in the day, when I always slightly preferred Clone..

I managed to stick with them until Radiation... my, what a lacklustre, mediocre affair that was!

I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

Later day Maiden is rather hit and miss with me. The albums are uneven, some songs drag on for too long, the long songs have mostly the same pattern - an intro-verse-chorus-verse chorus- long solos- chorus-outro. It gets tedious after a while. 

I agree, and DoD and AMoLaD both certainly fit into that category for me; there's only so many listens you can give them before you get jaded. BNW was certainly a bit fresher when it came out, but I don't listen to any of them any more...
