Re: 1980-1995 - album rankings per person
During some moments I like the vocals on TXF and VXI more than on various moments on the two preceding albums, but during other moments I find them infinitely worse, by a 1000 miles. I do mention the good, the bad and the ugly.
I also find Bruce's vocals bad in e.g. Chains of Misery. I don't let it unmentioned.

That was never in doubt.
What's in doubt was you recognizing that other people's criticisms were voiced. Which they were. Ad nauseum, in some cases.

I wonder if you guys find it sad that the Maiden camp doesn't have this same appreciation, in 2011, 12 years after Blaze left.
That new best of album, which focuses on pre-Blaze era, the Blaze-era, and the post-Blaze era, doesn't contain a single song with Blaze on vocals.

I was the first to point it out in the appropriate thread. I find it very disappointing.
However, as someone said, this is an EMI release, so I imagine they picked the track list. I wonder if Steve would have done the same.

I don't even care. It's another cash-in release like Somewhere Cash in Time, The €$$entia£, Edward the Unnecessary, and whatever else they threw at the sheep flock that will buy anything with the name Iron Maiden on it lately. Ooh, it's got a rare track. Like anybody who will actually buy this thing and care won't already have that somewhere. And then they post that abominable artwork big on their website like it was something to be proud of.
I don't think the band even care, and maybe they don't even know of this release. They're in Colombia right now or wherever playing to their fans to make us proud while their management are doing everything to make us feel ashamed of being Maiden fans.
I'm a Maiden fan because I like the music. I listen to it and decide if I like it or not, and most of the time I do. I don't care if my taste is politically correct or not, or whether my preference in individual songs and performances offends somebody or not. I like what I like, why do I need to justify it?

Re: 1980-1995 - album rankings per person
Really? I think that this mentioned fact is a stain on the release. Blaze really must feel hurt by it, and I dislike it too.
For the rest, I finally see a best of release which doesn't contain a single 1980s song, Big improvement!
Me too. I can't imagine that the band is unaware of it, though.

Over what? Over the countless other needless compilations they released? That whole compilation is an unnecessary cash grab. They just shouldn't have done it at all.
