Yes, I think you've hit the mutt in the nuts here! Bruce is better than Paul but then again he is a peerless rock frontman. I will say that when I hear a song off the first 2 albums live with Bruce and three guitars I Instantly get a boner. Which again links in with idea of the new era of...

I think book of souls is a typical example of how the new material is awesome in every way. Plus legacy of the beast makes a modern era of Maiden all the better.

I fully agree with this, I only ever became fanatical about them post 2000. Even listening to the older albums during the 90's I always thought they sounded dated compared to Metallica. However the new stuff is a more modern sound which supercedes anything Metallica have ever done or are even...

Yep the terrible 90s was a shame. Best album of that time was fear of the dark. Worst album was virtual 11. But I think they've more than made up for that with the stunning return of Bruce and the brilliant albums ever since.

I merely went for the ones that I've never heard of them playing live with a few exceptions.

i wouldn't choose songs I dislike because all of them have something to offer. But if I had to pick a few of my favourite songs I would say Wickerman, Longest Day, Blood Brothers, Brave New World, Dance of the Death, Pachendale, Empire of th Clouds, Tears of a Clown, and Coming Home to name but...

I had some good advice from a fellow maiden fan. Get all the albums (including the blaze era) and shuffle the songs. The result is awesome. For me it's been the best way of listening.

Valid point about the 7. However in the event of a further 2 maiden albums being released would you say that's the best 7 album streak ever or would you stick as is.

In no particular order 1. Strange world 2. Prodigal son 3. Still life 4. Alexander the Great 5. Thin line between love and hate 6. Longest day 7. Mother Russia 8. Starblind 9. Red and the black 10. Empire of the clouds I've gone for ones I've never heard live

I agree that saying they faded out in the 80s isn't cool. Simply because the new stuff is the most awesome metal of the 20th century.

For the purposes of the debate it's either old or new. If there was a box for both then I would assume everyone would tick it. Therefore the debate would be pointless.

Go on then as part of my research, who are they ?

Who the hell is Paul day and Dave Sullivan
