Herbivore 904 Posted March 23, 2020 I plan to do a few of these for other bands, decades, genres, etc. This would be your personal favorite. Up the Irons, Maiden goes first. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DonS 3,063 Posted March 23, 2020 Fock. This is a tough one! Probably going to go with Powerslave, though every album has its high points. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Herbivore 904 Posted March 23, 2020 My favorite is Killers. Monster classics like Wrathchild, Killers, and Murders in the Rue Morgue. A few of my favorite album cuts, like Innocent Exile, Drifter, and Another Life. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jerryskids 5,151 Posted March 23, 2020 Number of the Beast, Piece of Mind, and Powerslave were a great run while I was in HS. I was 15 when Number came out and it was my intro to Maiden; I was hooked unlike any other metal acts. Run to the Hills and Hallowed be Thy Name are on my short list of songs from any bands which are on my workout mix. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Run to the Hills and Hallowed be Thy Name are on my short list of songs from any bands which are on my workout mix. I had my daily radiation treatment playlist, as the techs would play whatever music you brought in. My playlist was Maiden heavy due to the Bruce Dickinson throat cancer connection. First song on the playlist was Hallowed Be Thy Name followed by Powerslave. I made sure and asked if it was okay if I moved my fingers as it helped me relax and it's hard not to do some air bass when Steve Harris is kicking ass. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Very down to earth and genuinely seemed like a good dude. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Other than Mob Rules is there any RJD album that would get a vote? In my mind it’s either Paranoid or Master of Reality. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

frank 2,143 Posted March 24, 2020 Powerslave. That and 666 are the only ones I know well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shotsup 830 Posted March 24, 2020 My first reaction was Number as that was my introduction to Maiden. Then second thought was Powerslave as that was the first album I bought day of release. Cut school to go to TSS in Elmont NY to be one of the first to hear it. All that said Piece of Mind is to epic to not be #1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Big Guy 1,400 Posted March 24, 2020 I love tons of hard rock bands, but nothing about them ever pulled me in, maybe it was the lame mascot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
