What's the best album? I choose Seventh Son of a Seventh Son, although many come close to this quality (powerslave, number of the beast, dance of death, etc) |

| Actually it's Seventh Son of the Seventh Son (rediscovered it recently - brilliant album!), but voted for Somewhere in Time - just because no one has done it yet. |

No doubt about it: Killers
A couple of others would be struggling there for second place.

I've not heard anything beyond 'Seventh Son' so didn't vote, but out of their first 6 albums my favourite would be 'The Number of the Beast' Good solid well played metal and with Clive Burr on the drums, whose style and sound I much prefer to Nicko McBrains. The Beast was in the days before Dickinsons voice began to go, and all that awful warbling started too.
I thought they were better as a straight forward metal band, than as a 'clever' prog metal band. ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

Sorry, but where's "Live After Death"? I think that it's not only a great IM-album, but one of the best live recordings of all time.

oh sorry, I just wanted to put studio albums, just like the poll question states: "What's Iron Maiden's best studio album?" Life After Death is really a great live recording for sure.

^^^^^^^
I love Killers,it's such a great album.I bought their debut as a teenager right after it came out and was really impressed with them,but it was when Killers was released that I knew this band was something special. If I had to do a Maiden top 5... Powerslave Piece of Mind Killers Number of the Beast Seventh son of a Seventh Son I find it strange that not many people mentioned Piece of Mind,besides containing a lot of great tracks,the production and sound on that album is superb.McBrain's drumming and Harris' bass playing are so in your face,I love it. ------------- |

Piece of Mind was my first album that I bought so I've always had a soft spot for that one. Although Somewhere in Time was awesome as well. Voted for Piece of Mind |

Musically, I agree with your statement. Vocally, it's another story. I think it was near the end of the tour they recorded it, and Bruce sounds worn out. Almost never on pitch, and that irritates me a lot, as he is flawless on studio albums. ------------- "One likes to believe in the freedom of Music" - Neil Peart, The Spirit of Radio |
