I am not opposed giving them a new try, at least their technical capabilities are pretty inspiring for a musician. Only heard like 3 songs before I gave up. Any songs you'd recommend? (Sorry guys, won't hijack the thread. Just this question)

B= Bruce Dickinson M= Mattias Reinholdsson B= Oh, no, no, no, you mustn't get into, no! I was talking about this with the manager of Entombed, Dave Thorne, who's a huge Van der Graaf Generator fan and we were talking about how amazing some Van der Graaf Generator songs would sound if a metal...

Kind of, just that Maiden feels more natural, and actually good. Dream Theater feels mechanical and as if they're following some instructions book when writing their songs, (Yeah I'm not a DT fan, haha). I still feel like Bruce probably had A Plague Of Lighthouse Keepers in the back of his...

Yeah that is obviously the climax and it's also amazing. That is when all of the song just gets compressed into your body and it sends shivers through you and tears to your eye. Powerfull as hell.

Honestly, I can't even vote, because all of those songs are really good. Sanctuary and Charlotte would have been my votes if available. Ok, I guess Running Free and Iron Maiden is a level below the others, so I'll pick them.

But why not?

Hail and Kill was in this thread too? Come on man, metal classic. Great song.

Why is Alans psychedelic breakfast in there? It's a good song. While all the other songs there are absolute rubbish. All of you need some more psychedelics. Anyway, voted: Helloween, Metallica, GnR and Queensrÿche.

Gonna take maximum one per band, gets a bit more fun that way. 1. King Crimson - Lizard 2. Iron Maiden - Lord of Light 3. Van Der Graaf Generator - La Rossa 4. Genesis - Musical Box 5. Jimi Hendrix - Bold As Love 6. Pink Floyd - Shine On You Crazy Diamond 7. Peter Hammill - A Louse Is Not A...

Am I supposed to vote on who I think is best today, or who I think has been the best through all these years, who is the best on most albums, etc? Because my answer very much depends on that.

Exactly. What I'm trying to explain is that musically, there is nothing that "doesn't make sense" with it. It does make sense. You just don't like it, or it doesn't make sense to you.

Jesus..... Ok, the transitions in Empire doesn't work, because you say so. Now we can lay that to rest.

Yeah, it is different music. But the tempo changes and transitions "doesn't make sense", in the way you talk about it. It is like different sections. But it still works, obviously, since people like the music and think it's great. That's the point. It was intended by the musicians, it wasn't...

What I'm saying is that they do make sense. They just don't make sense to you. The transitions in A Plague Of Lighthouse Keepers wouldn't make sense to you either, but that song is a journey through space and time, an experience that is way greater than any that can be taken from a song which...

No with prog I mean just that, prog. I mean classical prog. More precisely the legendary progressive rock bands that paved the way for that kind of music. King Crimson, Van Der Graaf Generator. Bands that lots of musicians see as great inspirations. I'm not talking about bands like Dream Theater...

They do stick together. And go listen is to show you what kind of music it is they're playing, and that there's nothing wrong with the transitions. The "problem" lies with you, not the song. I'm saying "problem", because each to his own, but of course I need to point out that statement is...

CLASSIC prog transitions. Sounds amazing. That's how it should be. Listen to some King Crimson and Van Der Graaf Generator and come back and say if those transitions are bad. If so, well, you just don't "get it". Not saying that as some kind of insult or attempt to say you have a "lesser...

I know Bruce is a big VdGG fan. I wonder if A plague of lighthouse keepers somehow inspired him on this song. Very obvious that Hammils vocals has inspired Bruce in general however, especially how he's phrasing the words.

How is "the song writing all over the place", seems like a subjective opinion I absolutely don't agree with. The compositions are way way smarter than anything I've ever heard from Maiden. The transitions are the opposite of awkward. Unconventional, maybe, but in my opinion, absolutely genius...

Random thought, but I hope this girl makes a cover of some song/songs from this album. Maybe empire of the clouds. No, they're not. And this is quite possibly the best Maiden album ever. EVER. To say it sounds like random ideas just seem weird to me, and seems to come from a view where you...
