My picks: Be Quick or Be Dead Wasting Love Afraid to Shoot Strangers Yours?

Between these two Paul Di'Anno-era Maiden albums what do you prefer?

My picks: Revelations Still Life To Tame a Land Yours?

"Can I Play With Madness" is a very CHEESY song, but I like it, anyway.

What is your choice here?

I hear/see things totally opposite than you. Black Sabbath on first 6 albums are much more musically diverse than Iron Maiden ever were and I say it as a big Maiden fan. Black Sabbath weren't a typical heavy metal band, the album Sabbath Bloody Sabbath is the best proof for that. Iron Maiden...

I think this doesn't apply to Britain, where Iron Maiden have always been bigger than Metallica among rock and metal crowd. In the UK 80's Maiden albums are much more popular than 80's Metallica albums.

I think Rush from A Farewell to Kings/Hemispheres-era is also a bit influential on Iron Maiden.

I think they are very influenced by 70's Judas Priest. Musical similarities between early Maiden and 70's Priest are obvious.

In Europe Deep Purple have always been one of the biggest and and most recognized classic rock bands and they enjoyed the equal popularity as Led Zeppelin, while in the USA they have never had a mass popularity and they have never achieved a legendary status. Just look how long it took them to...

What do you think and why?

Yes, for sure, they are still huge all over Europe as they've always been. They are definitely a way bigger and more known than Rush.

Between these 3 metal classics from 1988 which one is your favorite?

Really? Are they popular there as much as e.g. Deep Purple? I doubt it.

Yes, pretty much this you said. With Black Album Metallica has broken into an American mainstream, Maiden has never done it. In America if you're not commercial and in the mainstream you don't have a mass popularity. In Europe and the rest of the world the mainstream works differently than in...

When it comes to Europe Rush could be called a POPULAR band only in Britain, there they are well known and have a very solid fanbase. They didn't crack most of Europe, but they cracked Britain due to their frequent touring in the 70s and 80's, while they've toured very little outside of Britain...

Deep Purple has always been a way bigger band in Europe than America.

I can't agree. How then when it comes to classic rock, in the US non-American bands as The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones, AC/DC and Pink Floyd are bigger than any their, domestic rock band?
