I voted Beast Over Hammersmith, i really like that artwork.
Although, if that option wasnt there it would have been Killers, without a doubt.
 
Love the back of S&A but PeW could go down as one of the greatest of all time
I want my big poster back
Dont even know what I did with it...

ESL is the only live album I would choose to give to someone and say, "Heres Rush."
Have I been over here too long??
 
Prince Edward's Wiener?

Anyway, please stick to Maiden covers, gloryforixseal, as that is what this thread is about.
 
I think it must be Brave new World, for me it seems to be very variable from other covers ( except from Virtual XI and The X Factor). Honestly, I really like the newer covers because it is more deatailed.
 
Somewhere in Time is still awesome. I find new cool little things each time I look at it.

Powerslave and Seventh Son come in second.
 
Powerslave... My favourite artwork on my favourite album. I have a thing for Egyptian themes :)

Somewhere in Time in a close second because it's simply awesome.

A little off topic but has anybody been getting the Iron Maiden Vans (Skate shoes) with the album covers on? The most awesome shoes anybody could wear! I got myself the Killers and Trooper shoes but am desperate for a pair of Powerslaves! Also how awesome would SIT be as the next pair of Vans?  :bigsmile:
 
In light of my comment on the new "Final Frontier" thread and the other comments about what may or may not be the new album artwork, I felt inspired to vote in this poll for the first time.  I vote for Killers. 
 
If I had to rank the studio album cover art it would go as follows:

1. Killers
2. Powerslave
3. Piece Of Mind
4. Number Of The Beast
5. Brave New World
6. The X Factor (Hugh Syme is incredible)
7. Virtual XI
8. Somewhere In Time
9. No Prayer For The Dying (the original cover...of the man being strangled)
10. A Matter Of Life & Death
11. Dance Of Death
12. Iron Maiden (really detailed, but not very exciting)
13. Fear Of The Dark (never been a fan of this art)
14. 7th Son Of A 7th Son (cartoonish...sloppy composition...art is flat with little detai)
