The Time of Year

Is it just me or does the time of year have an effect on how good an album or track, or even a band, sound?  I find that Autumn is the optimum season for listening to Maiden.  It gets dark here in Scotland at 4 in the afternoon so the drive home from work is always the best time to listen to X Factor for example!

I don't think I've ever enjoyed listening to Hallowed as much as on Guy Fawkes night last week - as I drove home there were rockets going off while Bruce was being taken to the gallows  :bigsmile:

Anyone with me?  Anyone?
 
Journey's Stone in Love is, in my view, the ultimate "summer" rock song.

Back to the point of the thread, if I really had to pick a season that seems most Maiden-appropriate, I guess it would be winter, but I think they're equally awesome any day of the year. 
 
Seventh Son has always been a christmas/winter album for me, but that was only because I bought it at that time, and possibly the artwork helped. But really, none of it is especially season-orientated for me.

I'll agree on the Van Halen summer thing though. I'll also say that Adrian's Psycho Motel stuff suits rainy weather for some reason  :lol:

Anyway, I think Maiden are awesome all year long, so I don't really have an opinion.
 
Early fall is definately Maiden's time. Powerslave came out right at the end of summer, same with SIT, then it starts to get dark earlier. I have a constant fear that something's always near. Then as you get closer to Halloween it's time for Poe and Lovecraft.
