Where does Iron Maiden stand in your top 10 bands of all time?

[Jer]

Kwizatz Haderach

I think that’s a Quiet Riot song, or at least it rhymes with one.

I don't always think they're my #1, but then I again I don't spend hours a week on a message board for any other bands.

This board (to me) is not just about Maiden. I don't even follow most of the threads in the Maiden Chat subforum, especially since there's no actual news. But discussing random other topics with people I have grown to think of as friends, even if I haven't met all of them in person, is still something I keep coming here for.

 

[Iron Lurker]

Would have to be a long arm.

Full body tattoo - all the "Don't Look to, Don't Look to, Don't Look to the Eyes of A Stranger"s

 

[Cornfed Hick]

At or near the top. There are times I might rate Sabbath or Queen or early Metallica or even The Replacements higher, but over time it seems always to come back to Maiden. Certainly I have more of a nostalgic connection to Maiden than any other band.

 

[MindlessPieces]

Maiden used to be my No1, but I'm pretty sure Nightwish is making a strong challenge for that spot right now.

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

 

[GhostofCain]

The worst Maiden ever wrote is still preferable to dedicating an album to Ayn Rand

I would exclude Age of Innocence, but you make a perfectly valid point.

 

[Pibroch_Whistler]

I used to listen to "Die With Your Boots On" after reading chapters in The Fountainhead and We The Living. Good soundtrack to Rand's better works.

They're in my top 10, but would be after Opeth, Steven Wilson, possible some others depending on mood.
