I find Piece of Mind quite overrated. I think the production is really what kills it for me.

I actually agree with this, along with NOTB. Both are great albums, but I think Powerslave kills them. For that matter I find Powerslave to have ZERO filler tracks.

I always feel like I should rank Powerslave higher than I should..on paper it seems like a quintessential Maiden album, but to me there's nothing that really reaches out to distinguish it for me. In a way I kind of think it sounds too clean and direct..similar to AMOLAD, another album that I don't rank as high I feel I should. These albums are of course great and basically perfect (tons of Maiden sounds absolutely perfect to me), but these 2 albums lack something to standout for me compared to my favorite (SiT) for example.

All my Maiden opinions are unpopular to everyone but me.

From what I've observed, I don't think that's 100% accurate, as I don't think there's a person here who doesn't love classic era Maiden.

Yes, I think close to everyone 26+ years of age started with an album from the 80's

I started with NOTB. I like to go against the grain like that

Indeed. Have a proper think about that. Anyone up to the age ~35 was still only born in the eighties. The majority, I guess, of people start listening to their own music in their early teens; so... that would be the early nineties. So, yeh, you might have discovered Maiden with a 80's album a that time. You could, as is just as likely, have discovered them with the music they were releasing at that time. NPftD, FotD, XF.Not the case on this board, as I'm sure you'll find out.
For the record: almost 35, started with FOTD.
Almost 40, started with a handful of individual songs in the 80s, but never owned a full album until FOTD.
64. First heard the boys when Steve was practicing in a loft in middle school and everybody still called Edward Teddy.
They need to PlayClassics again - Burning Ambition, Invasion, Charlotte in Pig-tails.
Never been the same since Willcock left.

Nicko, the hack, doesn't play the fills on Iron Maiden anywhere close to what Dave Sampson used to hammer out.

Starblind is incredibly overrated on these boards.

Prowler
Gangland is a great song.

Dance of Death (the song) is also quite overrated IMHO.

I don't like Starblind. Seriously, I skip it everytime.
IMO, The X-Factor, as a whole, is not just Maiden's worst, but actually a terrible album, despite having some great songs (The starting 3 and The Edge Of Darkness)
On the other hand, I really like Virtual XI. Specially The Angel And The Gambler, which I love!!
