Yeah, exactly! Both are among their proggiest. 

(OT: Live long and prosper, Hanke! I couldn't help but notice a band called 'Picard's Hair' on your artists list! I know Spocks Beard, but LOL. That's a hilarious name for a band! LOL)

Seventh Son followed by Brave New World and Powerslave
 
Rime of the Ancient Mariner is their proggiest song though!

I have followed Maiden since 1982...saw them for the first time that summer. I have to pick Powerslave due the strength and nature of the title track and Rime of the Ancient Mariner.

Excellent...up the irons!!

The most cult Iron Maiden album is Number of the beast, but 7th son is far from being bad. Even metalheads rate it high. Its follow-up can be considered as the worst Maiden album ever.
 
Yeah. Seventh Son the worst? Shocked It's one of their best ever.
 
The likely candidates for my award for worst Maiden album ever are probably No Prayer For the Dying or Virtual XI.

We don't listen to Iron Maiden for their "progressiveness". I rate a song like "can I play with madness" as high as "the prophecy".

It has to be the latest album, but I can't see it in the list.

I read the "You can Vote Multiple!" too late!  Anyways, I picked Powerslave because it has some EXTREMELY progressive moments, and I personally think that Iron Maiden is very progressive on a whole.  Seventh Son of a Seventh Son was a close second.
I Love Rush.

Seventh son and Brave new world. By the way, where are The X Factor and A Matter of life and death, both quite progressive albums?

Seventh Son is their proggiest, followed by Somewhere in Time. 

And I actually think every album they've made since the Dickinson reunion has been fairly proggy.

Because they have never heard Hogweed or Schizoid Man, presumably.  Wink   

My vote goes for SSOASS. And I agree with Atavachron, the debut is indeed a very progressive album.  Powerslave, SIT and AMOLAD are other proggy Maiden albums.

Somewhere in Time, my fave Maiden, obviously the other proggy one is 7th Son; Powerslave and Piece of Mind also have some prog tendencies... I think Somewhere in Time is the best one though
