music Favorite Iron Maiden Album?

[Gone Airborne 22,007]

If you are a fan of Iron Maiden which of their albums stands out to be your absolute favorite? I know this is a really hard question to ask since all their albums are so great! 

 

If I had to choose though I think it would be a tie between

Most def. I like Out of the Silent Planet :3. And their artwork is just always fun to look at. I think Maiden has some of the most interesting album artworks out there.

Seriously can't choose. Pretty much every album aside from The Final Frontier has songs I love. I have a massive Somewhere Back in Time poser on my wall though.  

[ProjectRKA 2,848]

I voted for these six albums:

 

The Number of the Beast

Somewhere in Time

Fear of the Dark

Brave New World

Dance of Death

The Final Frontier

 

 

Though, I'm missing albums such as "En Vivo !", "Rock in Rio (2002)", "Somewhere Back in Time" and so on. :3

Good to know there are quite a few Iron Maiden fans here on the forums ! When the Wild Wind Blows stands out among one of my personal favorites by them. Wish they played that song live when I went to see em' though :/...

When the Wild Wind Blows is definitely one of those epic songs that just makes you shiver all over. It's also one of those songs that really makes you think about the future. Amazing Lyrics. 'Nuff said. They should really play this song more live for sure.

Fear of the Dark was my childhood album, I used to listen to it with my old man when I was around seven or eight. lots of memories, rocking to that album as a kid XD

[Gone Airborne 22,007]

@,

Def. agree with you on that. I love how a lot of their songs tell a story within' the lyrics and such. Another thing I love about them is their songs sound amazing on the piano or the harp!

No one else voted for The Number of the Beast? I especially liked Hallowed Be Thy Name, 22 Acacia Avenue, and Children of the Damned.

 

Second place might have been Fear of the Dark, and after that would come Piece of Mind. Anyway, Maiden.

[~Asuka <3~ 867]

I voted for Powerslave.  Every song on that album is a work of genius.  Rime of the Ancient Mariner remains one of my favorite songs to this very day.  

 

Second place goes to Number of the Beast.  

[Twiliscael 3,962]

Powerslave. I don't think there's a song on their that I dislike at all. It's just one of those albums, ya know? Everything is there from a musical standpoint and an enjoyability standpoint. In close second is Somewhere in Time.

 

Gotta love Maiden.

I want to pick all of them. They're all so good... but if I had to pick it'd be either Piece Of Mind, Powerslave or The Number Of The Beast, I voted for The Number Of The Beast but I love those three equally. Powerslave has some of the best basslines I've ever heard on an album, and it was Steve Harris who inspired me to start playing bass :3.

Picking a "favorite" maiden album is kind of out of the question... That is like saying what is your favorite Iron Maiden song !!! 

 

All hail the 

 

Monster bass player that is Steve Harris

[Dusty Soul 2,614]

The Number of the Beast is my absolute favorite album.  I love the guitar riff in the title track, I also love the lyrics in "run to the hills".  Overall it's a great album.

[NeverNeverland 1,941]

KILLERS! Admittedly it is my only Iron Maiden album that I own (that I've not gotten back yet!! ) but it has some of my favorite tracks and moments from the guys.

[Emerald Flame 381]

I had to vote for both Piece of Mind and Poweslave. They're both amazing albums, and I don't think I could live without Flight of Icarus or Aces High, those songs are just too great.
