The joke is (in case you're not aware) that Virtual XI is my favorite album :P

No, I'm not joking. Yes, it is mostly due to nostalgia.

I like Futureal as a fun short rocker and quite enjoyed the Clansman live on Legacy so maybe i`m being hard on it after all!!

NPFTD over Killers? And the debut 9 spots above Killers? It's strange.

Killers is the worst 80`s album for me, never listen to it where as the Debut is a great album.

Phantom , Transylvania, IM, Prowler, Strange World, Remember Tomorrow all great songs. Not strange at all if that is your opinion really.

I love Killers. It's the album that got me into the band. I favor it over the debut though the debut has the best song (Phantom)

Each to their own , that`s the beauty of opinions. I will say hearing the 3 Killers tracks live back to back on this tour was really good, all sounded strong and pacy, even the much maligned Wrathchild.

Piece of Mind was the album that got me in to Maiden.
 
My most up to date ranking.

  1. Dance of Death
  2. Seventh Son of a Seventh Son
  3. Somewhere in Time
  4. A Matter of Life and Death
  5. The Number of the Beast
  6. Piece of Mind
  7. Brave New World
  8. The X Factor
  9. Powerslave
  10. Iron Maiden
  11. The Final Frontier
  12. Killers
  13. Book of Souls
  14. Senjutsu
  15. Virtual XI
  16. Fear of the Dark
  17. No Prayer for the Dying

My opinion is that the debut is better than Killers indeed, but not by a wide margin, it's still the classic from the 80's and still very good. It's hard for me to imagine NPFTD being better than Killers.

It`s not close for me between the first two albums but my list isn`t too scientific to be fair and does change slightly from time to time.

Killers isn`t an 8/10 album to me as it is to you.

One big change in my list is that both the first two albums with Paul have taken over Dance Of Death. Fear Of The Dark and The Book Of Souls are "almost there" for me albums. Senjutsu though remains a rank below The X Factor but still better than the other Blaze album i.e. Virtual XI. The Final Frontier needs more time from my side to be appreciated and NPFTD just sounds out of place in their discography to me.
 
Completely winging it:

1. The Book of Souls
2. Brave New World
3. Somewhere in Time
4. Powerslave
5. A Matter of Life and Death
6. Seventh Son of a Seventh Son
7. The Final Frontier
8. Piece of Mind
9. The Number of the Beast
X. The 10 Factor
11. Senjutsu
12. Iron Maiden
13. Dance of Death
14. Killers
15. Fear of the Dark
16. No Prayer for the Dying
17. Virtual XI

I almost gave BNW gold, but you know what? My top 6 albums have all been first and they've all been sixth, except for Book of Souls which has always been second. I think that makes it my real overall first place
