Bruce Dickinson

[PhantomOfTheOpera]

Bruce Dickinson does not have a single bad solo album. I like all of them.

I agree on all points. They are all important and great albums for me aswell.

 

[MindRuler]

My ranking of the Bruce albums, I also like all 6 of them.

1. Tyranny Of Souls
2. Skunkworks
3. Accident Of Birth
4. The Chemical Wedding
5. Balls To Picasso
6. Tattooed Millionaire

 

[Poto]

I haven't heard Skunkworks and Tattoed Millionaire.

 

[Travis The Dragon]

I can get enjoyment out of every song on TM, but I wouldn't consider it to be a great album.

 

[Mosh]

I enjoy all of them to various degrees but he has two that are consistently great. The others have moments of greatness.

I mean, I suppose you could get enjoyment out of “Lickin’ The Gun” and “Zulu Lulu”, by why would you...?

 

[Travis The Dragon]

I enjoy all of them to various degrees but he has two that are consistently great. The others have moments of greatness.

Which two are those?

 

[Mosh]

Accident of Birth and Chemical Wedding of course.

I do have a soft spot for Balls to Picasso though.

 

[The Flash]

The Chemical Wedding > Accident of Birth > Tyranny of Souls > Balls to Picasso > Skunkworks > Tattooed Millionaire is how I would rank them.

I love the '90s alternative rock meets Rush' sound of Skunkworks, I wish the songwriting was consistently good. 'Back from the Edge' and 'Inertia' are wonderful songs.

The more I’ve listened to Skunkworks the more I realize how tight and well composed it is. I’d rank his albums as such:

1. The Chemical Wedding (A+)
2. Accident Of Birth (A+)
3. Skunkworks (A)
4. Tyranny Of Souls (B+ / A-)
5. Tattooed Millionaire (C+ / B-)
6. Balls To Picasso (C+ / B-)

 

[Black Wizard]

Oh no. Everyone is doing rankings again.

 

[Black Bart]

1. The Chemical Wedding
1. Skunkworks

3. Accident of Birth
4. Balls To Picasso - Alive at the Marquee

6. Tattooed Millionaire
6. Tyranny of Souls

I like them all to some degree. It turns out that the albums I prefer are those made "as a band".

 

[Austrogoth]

Oh no. Everyone is doing rankings again.

Dear all. Be careful. If someone combines rankings, lists, Alexander the Great and rumors about Download TV in the same post, Black Wizard will probably have a heartattack.

 

[Black Wizard]

Someone really doesn't like me it seems.

 

[Diesel 11]

I think Bruce should call Roy Z and start scheduling a new piece of his book tour next year where the two of them noodle about on guitars. Perfect chance to play Alexander The Great. I just know they will. (Someone already posted this in the I’m A Little Teapot Thread but im blind and don’t care.)

in. Fact here’s a list of what they could do together:

• have a bottle of wine
• go on facebook
• rant about the establishment
• ALEXXXXXXX
• Þ

And now I’ll rank their best possible songs toplay together!

1. ¡ALEXXXXXELA!
2. Back on the boob tube
3. Gordian not
4. Fever in Babylon

omg I want this to happen so bad. Shall I open up a R•E•F•E•R•E•N•D•U•M for this? MAYBE THEY CAN DO BOOK TOUR AT DOWNLOAD

 

[Black Wizard]

Shall I open up a R•E•F•E•R•E•N•D•U•M for this?

No, do a survivor.

 

[Diesel 11]

I’ll do a Survivorendum

 

[Austrogoth]

Someone really doesn't like me it seems.

Not at all, it was simply a joke.

 

[Mosh]

I love the '90s alternative rock meets Rush' sound of Skunkworks, I wish the songwriting was consistently good. 'Back from the Edge' and 'Inertia' are wonderful songs.

This is my experience as well. Skunkworks is a really interesting album in concept, but the songwriting isn’t always there. I also don’t think the vocals are well performed and the production is thin. It would’ve been interesting to see what they would’ve come up with on a second album after touring and becoming tighter as a band. But ultimately I’m glad that didn’t happen because we got Accident of Birth instead.

 

[Austrogoth]

I can listen to a couple of songs from time to time but not the whole album.
