  14. Virtual XI - 7.29
  15. No Prayer For the Dying - 6.70
  16. Fear of the Dark - 6.66

The upper half of this list is almost identical to mine. Insert Beast to SIT and there you go.
 
I literally shake my head sometimes while reading opinions of this forum. Having said that, top 10 Maiden albums is a fine choice for me, as overall list. The least preferrable stuff is in Di'Anno era, early 90s with Bruce and Dance of Death. If there was someone asking how to get into Maiden I'd rather recommend X Factor than Fear of the Dark or Killers or Dance of Death.
