    Favourite Iron Maiden Epic (1980-1992)

    Without having TATG available I'll have to pick a lesser tune. :p Ridiculously great list, with special focus on tracks like Phantom Of The Opera, Revelations, To Tame A Land, Powerslave, Alexander The Great, SSOASS and Infinite Dreams. But who am I fooling? It doesn't matter how good of a...

    Favourite Iron Maiden Epic (1980-1992)

    It's a pity The Angel And The Gambler only came out 6 years later. It would dominate this poll. :D

    No Prayer For The Dying Vs. The Final Frontier

    IMO Chains is ok, Warrior and Apparition not quite. As for the other one:

    No Prayer For The Dying Vs. The Final Frontier

    I really like both albums but, overall, The Final Frontier is not only more cohesive, IMO its highs are higher. First and foremost, the only track I really dislike from both records is Hooks In You. Then there's lots of what I consider to be excellent tunes, with The Talisman and When The Wild...

    'Judgement Day'

    Exactly. IMO there are just two things that are somewhat disappointing on this record: The first one is the least important IMO and that's Blaze's somewhat tamed performance. At the time he wasn't the singer he turned out to be 10 years later. Even so it's a decent delivery that by no way...

    Did any of the songs from The Book Of Souls enter your top 10 maiden songs list?

    Nope. And as far as my top 25 to 30 songs only the excellent title track makes the cut.

    rate all 17 Maiden albums best to worst

    Yup. IMO an album is more than the sum of its songs. And FOTD truly lacks coherency in my opinion, which pulls its overall average grade down.

    Most overrated Maiden album?

    Only falls short to Still Life and The Prophecy for me. And it's not by much: Back In The Village is an amazingly wild track. Love it! P.S. : Powerslave? Fillers? WTF?

    Name your fave three songs from the reunion era yet

    Montségur as #1. Then pick two more from the following: Face In The Sand, For The Greater Good Of God, These Colors Don't Run, The Talisman and When the Wild Wind Blows because I just can't leave any of these out.

    Doom Metal

    Still during the 90's and early 2000's some bands started to do all kind of crazy mixes involving Doom Metal: I remember how confused yet amazed I felt when I listened to this vinyl in 1993. Confessor takes Doom and throws it in a complex time signature labyrinth with guitar riffs not too far...

    Doom Metal

    Great track! Like I said before I believe no one can even start talking about Doom Metal without mentioning Saint Vitus, Pentagram or Witchfinder General. Yeah, I think it's true they pretty much emulated the doomier, heavier and darker side of 70's Sabbath. But if it wasn't for them rehashing...

    Pick the three best performed songs from Beast Over Hammersmith

    Amazing show with the band firing at all cylinders. The opener MITRM and Killers are simply mind blowing. The rest of the setlist is amazing as well yet I'll go with Total Eclipse since it was never played again after this tour and the band nailed it 100% here.
