5 favorite Maiden albums, 3 favorites from each

[Eric Wright]

Nice picks on SIT and POM Stardust!

 

[Moon Child]

Agreed.

 

[The Anger & The Pain]

Interesting thread, I'll have a go at it.

7th Son: Moonchild, The Clairvoyant, The Evil That Men Do
Powerslave: 2 Minutes 2 Midnight, Powerslave, Rime of the Ancient Mariner
Somewhere in Time: Caught Somewhere in Time, Wasted Years, Heaven Can Wait (LOTLDR is so close)
Number of the Beast: Hallowed Be Thy Name, NOTB, The Prisoner (live is excellent)
Brave New World (POM is tied for this slot): Ghost of the Navigator, The Wicker Man, Brave New World

One thing I appreciate on this site is the diversity of opinion. I just hope people don't sit a perfect song to the back of their list just because everybody loves it. Is that what being a hipster means? Anyway, enjoying reading everyone's lists.

1.Piece Of Mind: Where Eagles Dare, Revelations, To Tame A Land
2.Seventh Son: Moonchild, Infinite Dreams, The Evil That Men Do
3.Somewhere In Time: Caught Somewhere In Time, Wasted Years, Stranger In A Strange Land
4.Virtual XI: Futureal, The Angel And The Gambler, The Educated Fool
5.The X Factor: Lord Of The Flies, Fortunes Of War, Judgement Of Heaven

@AndrewLaeddis Would never have expected VXI to show up on someone's list, let alone with TAATG on it.

 

[The Anger & The Pain]

Ditto.

 

[MrKnickerbocker]

That really is the most shocking pick in this whole thread.

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

I think this thread should just shut up shop after that bombshell.

 

[MrKnickerbocker]

Or we could sing Angel and the Gambler until someone posts again...

 

[Stardust]

OK, who's starting to sing?

 

[Perun]

Roll of the dice, take a spin of the wheel...


Seriously guys, I honestly don't understand how you can not like this song.

Hey, I like it! I just wished the chorus wouldn't repeat a thousand times.

 

[The Anger & The Pain]

How about that terrible keyboard the start?

 

[Stardust]

How about that terrible keyboard the start?

Don't mind it.

 

[Check the Declination!]

Not to interrupt this in-depth discussion of the worst of Maiden's 150 songs, but here's my list:

1-Powerslave: Powerslave, Aces High, Flash of the Blade
2-Piece of Mind: Trooper, Where Eagles Dare, Revelations
3-Number of the Beast: Hallowed Be Thy Name, Prisoner, Invaders
4-7th Son of a 7th Son: Clairvoyant, Moonchild, Infinite Dreams
5-Somewhere in Time: Heaven Can Wait, Caught Somewhere in Time, Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner

As with any other list and/or ranking with Maiden.....always changing, always evolving. Next week, could be different!

Is it just me or would TAATG chorus make a fantastic drinking song?

 

[Eric Wright]

Though I've got to admit, the part around 5:37-6:25 where it starts sounding like ZZ Top is catchy as all get out.

 

[MrKnickerbocker]

Agreed! Unfortunately, it sounds the way it does.

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

Don't know about it being a decent game, but it could possibly drive you to drink.
