Favorite Maiden Album (2010 Edition, voting closed)

[SirRobbins]

Somewhere in Time. Not a song on there that's less than a 10! Never be topped.

 

[slainna]

a matter of life and death. fucking loved it

 

[7th Son of a 7th Son]

7th Son...
Followed closely by AMOLAD and Somewhere in Time

 

[Maturin]

My current ranking of the albums, best to worst:

1. A Matter of Life and Death
2. The X Factor
3. The Final Frontier
4. Brave New World
5. Somewhere in Time
6. Seventh Son of a Seventh Son
7. Dance of Death
8. Fear of the Dark
9. Piece of Mind
10. Powerslave
11. The Number of the Beast
12. Killers
13. No Prayer for the Dying
14. Iron Maiden
15. Virtual XI

I'm obviously not a 'play classics' fan. I'd guess ranking Fear of the Dark that high is the greatest crime.

 

[Black Bart]

This is a very cruel choice!

Killers
Seventh Son of a Seventh Son
The Number of the Beast
Somewhere in Time

[Brigantium]

One for the Unpopular Opinions thread?

 

[Liveone]

Piece of Mind for me. I remember getting the vinyl in 1983 and thinking it was the most amazing thing ever.

 

[Consumer Of Souls]

Seventh Son of a Seventh Son
A Matter of Life and Death
Somewhere in Time
Piece of Mind
Powerslave
Brave New World
The Number of the Beast
Dance of Death
The X Factor
Killers
The Final Frontier
Fear of the Dark
No Prayer For The Dying

Virtual XI




Something like that... I guess, it is VERY HARD to make a list like this. It actually feels a bit silly in my opinion, because music is fluid and not numbers. I would say the top 5 is at least pretty much at the same level, can't really pick a favourite. And I have a feeling, a really string feeling, that The Book Of Souls will end up very close to the top after it settles as well!
That's how I feel now, and I doubt it will change.

Seeing Somewhere in Time being regarded that high around here makes me happy. What an great Album.

Which makes me wonder why the Band never gives it any recognition outside of 2 Songs (1 of them even being the "worst) on the record)

I choose The X Factor, but remember that Iron Maiden (at least in my opinion) don't have bad albums, they may have mediocre albums, boring albums, etc. They'll never have a bad album.

Final call for 21 new voters to vote Brave New World... or else Seventh Son is declared winner tomorrow.

 

[SinisterMinisterX]

Voting is now closed. I will start the 2015 edition momentarily...

Seventh Son wins the TFF-era poll. I believe TBOS can make a strong challenge.
