Coolest Album Cover Artwork

[Anonymous]

Live After Death is by far my favorite cover. Second would be Number of the Beast.

Only Piece Of Mind!

Tough one...Fear of the Dark is probably my favourite from the list - that or Brave New World.
But Maiden England is another great one.

The best single artwork has to be The Trooper, and then there's this:

Was Hallowed be Thy Name released as a single? [!--emo&--][img src=\'style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/blink.gif\' border=\'0\' style=\'vertical-align:middle\' alt=\'blink.gif\' /][!--endemo--]

Apologies for size

I voted for Live after death.

The design and the color are brillant and I like the reference to Lovecraft

Powerslave cover is my fave. [!--emo&--][img src=\'style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/biggrin.gif\' border=\'0\' style=\'vertical-align:middle\' alt=\'biggrin.gif\' /][!--endemo--]

i'd have to say somewhere in time because first of all its drawn unlike dance of death where they got lazy and did it on computer lol but somewhere in time has so many details that are so cool it has a bunch of different themes from previous albums put into ideas and artwork onto the cover and i find that so cool

 

[Anonymous]

The best cover artwork is definitely Somewhere in Time. Powerslave is cool too.

 

[Anonymous]

Piece of Mind - maybe sentimental because it was the 1st one I ever saw.

Didn't see Maiden Japan, love that one too.

I think there's stillm a thread on the Commentary section about Brave New World's cover art and how I'd marry it were it legally allowable

 

[Anonymous]

Somewhere In time has got to be the best artwork ever. You can spend hours listening to the album and looking deep into the artwork for more stuff. Trying to find messages from Maidens past and present, and thins that just should be there. Maybe there should be a forum for all the stuff people can find in the SIT album artwork..........

theres a page on the maiden fans website listing all the bits that can be found on the SIT artwork. the page can be found at [a href=\'http://www.maidenfans.com/?url=somewhere_in_time.htm\' target=\'_blank\']http://www.maidenfans.com/?url=somewhere_in_time.htm[/a]

I voted for Piece Of Mind. I just love the coloration of the painting itself, and the ferocity and rage depicted in Eddie's face go beyond any other album art I've seen.

Plus it spawned The Trooper, which is my favorite Maiden art of all time.

Powerslave Is Great And So Is 7th Son...But Killers Is Just Very Cool....I Didnt Even Notice The Arm Grabbing Till About 6months After I Bought It Lol And That Makes It Even Better

 

[Anonymous]

7th Son is definitely the coolest album cover. Just look at the whole surreal dream land, its amazing!

 

[Anonymous]

I'm going for Virtual XI. A Beautiful cover with incredible detail.
It's a different Eddy, but if I look at the art and use of colour it's simply the most detailed painting.

 

[Anonymous]

WHAT?! I'm the ONLY one who voted for Number of the Beast??

 

[Anonymous]

I did, its AWESOME!!

I ehm... I... Made a little mistake [!--emo&--][img src=\'style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/blush.gif\' border=\'0\' style=\'vertical-align:middle\' alt=\'blush.gif\' /][!--endemo--]
I thought I clicked Brave New World and then clicked vote... ('cause I really like the futuristic London and Eddie in the clouds) But I saw too late I accidentally clicked Dance of Death, wich has, in my opinion, the worst artwork on the cover of any Maiden album [!--emo&:unsure:--][img src=\'style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/unsure.gif\' border=\'0\' style=\'vertical-align:middle\' alt=\'unsure.gif\' /][!--endemo--] Stupid me...
