It's true that there are no repetitive choruses on SIT.

Caught Somewhere in Time, Heaven Can Wait, Deja Vu?

It's the madness thread.

 

[The Flash]

OK, this has to be a joke since you've been a Maiden fan a lot longer than 6 months.

Nah, can't be.

 

[Mosh]

I put a lot of effort into this, people. I appreciate it if you don’t call my opinions a joke.

That's more like it!

@Mosh please provide us the list in the form of a colour coded Excel spreadsheet screenshot. It is much easier to read that way.

 

[Mosh]

I swear every time I make a parody thread I get outdone by the real thing.

Er... I mean, color coded top songs countdown coming soon! But first I’ll need to post my revised album countdown.

16. Fear of the Dark
This is the worst Iron Maiden album.

12. Powerslave
This used to be my favorite Maiden album when I first got into them 6 months ago, but now that I've listened to it so much I don't really like it anymore.

Favorite Songs: Aces High, Two Minutes to Midnight, honestly it's kinda downhill after that.

Least Favorite Songs: Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Powerslave, Losfer Words

H E R E S Y !

9. Dance of Death
This is a top 5 album but I had to knock it down a few spots for the awful cover art

Meh... screw the cover. I reckon it's a bit annoying since Maiden as always presented great covers but it's completely accessory. And yes it is as ugly as it can get.
Nevertheless the album is quite cool and I agree with the rank you gave it.

11. The Number of the Beast
OVERRATED

Yup... a bit. But damn important regarding the band's evolution

Favorite Songs: Gangland

Least Favorite Songs: Number of the Beast, Run To the Hills.

NOW WAIT A MOMENT, SIR!

If the cover isn’t good, why bother with the music inside?

 

[karljant]

Thanks for giving me more reason not to listen to Dream Theater.

LOL... Nevertheless I like this album and I only dig a dozen tracks from DT (namely from Images, Change Of Seasons, Six Degrees, Train Of Thought and Dialetic Chaos . I think the only song in Maiden's reportoire that goes into DT's territory is Empire Of The Clouds (if you like it try Scenes Of A Memory)

3 words answer: LED ZEPPELIN III

3 words answer: LED ZEPPELIN III

Led Zeppelin III has an amazing cover, what're you talking about? That spinning wheel thing is the shit.

 

[karljant]

1: Somewhere In Time 11/10

Also my favourite... although a pick between SIT, SSOASS, Powerslave and POM is fine by me. 3 perfect albums.

I may agree. But not sobber.

You know this thread is a joke, right?

I put a lot of effort into this, people. I appreciate it if you don’t call my opinions a joke.

True... Hey even if you didn't put any effort. It's a mere opinion. One may not agree with it (Gangland best track in TNOTB and ROTAM the worst on Powerslave.... YOU HERETIC! ) but you're entitled to it. And that's what's great here. Unlike mainstream one hit radio crap, fans of this kind of music tend to have very different opinions. NOW GO PUT POWERSLAVE HIGHER ON THAT LIST AND PRAY FOR YOUR SINS!
