I was sorting out my MP3 player just now trying to cram as much of maiden and other good stuff(Led Zep, Guns n Roses, Pink Floyd, Deep Purple etc) on it as possible.
To do so I had to remove lesser tracks or ones which I got fed up of hearing.
The result
Number of the Beast
No Prayer for the Dying
Fear of the Dark
Brave New World
And half of Dance of Death
plus ROTAM(takes up a hell of a lotta space [img src=\"style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/wink.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\";)\" border=\"0\" alt=\"wink.gif\" /]

In fact some albums where looking quite anorexic.

Then I spotted stranger In a Strange land(my fave Maiden song) and thought what If I could never hear that song again? (I get these strange thoughts and scenarios sometimes)
Would I sacrifice listening to 1 whole maiden album for one maiden song and if so which album?
Believe me I thought long and hard and thought yes. Then I thought which album?
Im still pondering now [img src=\"style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/biggrin.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":D\" border=\"0\" alt=\"biggrin.gif\" /]
So I was wondering If anyone would give up listening to a Maiden album if they where faced with choice of that or never having to listen to their fave maiden song again.

Please leave your comments/choice here and maybe I will have finally chosen the album I would ditch for Stranger In a Stange Land (and no VXI and TXF are not candidates for the chop:P)
 
Interesting question... ::
I suppose I would swap "Hallowed be thy Name" for the rest of NotB. Apart from that, nothing [img src=\"style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/cool.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\"B)\" border=\"0\" alt=\"cool.gif\" /]
 
"Number of the Beast
No Prayer for the Dying
Fear of the Dark
Brave New World
And half of Dance of Death
plus ROTAM(takes up a hell of a lotta space"

IMO, remove Fear Of The Dark, replace with Somewhere In Time!!!

Yes, I would gladly give up ever hearing anything off of NPftD, FotD and/or VXI if faced with the alternative of never hearing RotAM again. The same would go for Paschendale or Sign of the Cross.

Lol those are the albums/songs which I did prune! Dont worry Somewhere In Time (my fave album) will NEVER be removed from my player [img src=\"style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/biggrin.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":D\" border=\"0\" alt=\"biggrin.gif\" /]
 
Hmmm. I would keep Hallowed, RotAM and Paschendale and ditch Killers, NPftD and FotD. There are some killers on those albums, but there's two much filler, especially when compared with my three favourite maiden tracks of all time. In fact, I would go so far as to say Paschendale is my fave maiden track, even above Hallowed. I hope they keep it for the new album tour, as they kept Brave New World for the DoD tour. That would be plain sexy.
 
you could get a player with greater capacity to save you the headache of having to choose from a great song/album and a really great song/album
 
My two least favourite albums I could do without (FotD and NPftD), still contain one or two songs I rate highly. Suffice to say, I could not give up one album for just one other track.

Thanks Onhell, you have sucked all the fun out of this one. I thought hypothetical situations were what forums were all about?
 
oh, I'm sorry conor [img src=\"style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/tongue.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":P\" border=\"0\" alt=\"tongue.gif\" /] I'll play fair hypothetically you could get a player with greater capacity [img src=\"style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/biggrin.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":D\" border=\"0\" alt=\"biggrin.gif\" /]
 
Random pointless fact: I currently have POM, SSOASS, VXI, BNW and DOD on my MP3 player, the complete albums. The list plays through 1 1/2 to 2 times a workday.

Oh yeah, and I made sure the albums play in the correct track order.
 
im just a big fan
so im fed up with every maiden song
aah, those were the days (1984-1994) when i could sing all of them word by word...
 
Keep Phantom of the Opera, ditch Fear of the Dark. ...... Yep, I think I could live with that.

SIT also my fave, Up The Irons! Good choice!
 
I would personally ditch Powerslave, Im not a fan of the album.
 
While I agree with you, some people enjoy such extreme hypothetical discussion threads. However, these types of things are closely monitored, and will be send to the Madness forum when needed.
