And why isn't it, Maverick? What's your excuse?

(See, I keep telling everyone he's lazy...)
 
If you had to maintain single-handed a site that size, you might want to be lazy from time to time [!--emo&:P--][img src=\'style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/tongue.gif\' border=\'0\' style=\'vertical-align:middle\' alt=\'tongue.gif\' /][!--endemo--]
 
It's hard to choose... It changes very often...

But Live after Death is one of my favorites, even if Powerslave and Seventh Son are very close...
 
I voted X-Factor, 'cos I think it's a great maketting and photo work.
If I had to choose a drawen one, probably, I elect "Live After Death", but there are some great too !! (Except DoD... I hate it !!)
 
Fear of the Dark : Melvyn Grant had an incredibly original idea. However I'm really wondering what Riggs would have done for that cover.

Here's a painting by Melvyn Grant which might remind you of something...

It was actually Maiden's management who had the idea...

all right... so I'd rather say that the way he achieved it is incredible
 
Powerslave, I love that cover! Is really great!
I also like a lot SIT cover! [!--emo&:)--][img src=\'style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/smile.gif\' border=\'0\' style=\'vertical-align:middle\' alt=\'smile.gif\' /][!--endemo--]
 
Just one thing: Bring back Derek Riggs!!! [span style=\'font-size:8pt;line-height:100%\'](or at least Melvyn Grant)[/span]

After the Complete Mess, also known as Dance of Death cover, it would be a darn shame that the next Maiden release also gets devalued by a lousy, amateur cover. Good thing is that the album itself more than makes up for a shitty cover with its music.

All Maiden covers are great. I choose SiT for its complexity and dose of humor in it (eg. West Ham completely demolishing Arsenal [!--emo&:D--][img src=\'style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/biggrin.gif\' border=\'0\' style=\'vertical-align:middle\' alt=\'biggrin.gif\' /][!--endemo--] ), BNW rules too, Killers has the most gruesome Eddie ever and Powerslave is just awesome.

Just like Fear of the Dark. And Seventh Son. Oh, and Piece of Mind. [!--emo&:P--][img src=\'style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/tongue.gif\' border=\'0\' style=\'vertical-align:middle\' alt=\'tongue.gif\' /][!--endemo--]
 
Somwhere in time has coolest cover!
I also like Fear of the dark and 7th son [!--emo&:D--][img src=\'style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/biggrin.gif\' border=\'0\' style=\'vertical-align:middle\' alt=\'biggrin.gif\' /][!--endemo--]
 
Powerslave, without question. No cover can ever touch it's beauty.

Thats what I thought also. [!--emo&:lol:--][img src=\'style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/lol[1].gif\' border=\'0\' style=\'vertical-align:middle\' alt=\'lol[1].gif\' /][!--endemo--]

Oh yeah.....Powerslave is the best. No debate. End of story.
 
Donington gets my vote. Not only does it stand out as being totally different from your conventional Eddie pic, it also just looks damn cool.
Runners up would be Brave New World, Fear Of The Dark and Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son. My least favourite covers are probably A Real Live/Dead One and Virtual XI.
