a word to the wise with iron maiden. start with the classic lineup stuff. that has bruce on vocals and adrian as guitar.

The Number of the Beast
Piece of Mind
Powerslave
Somewhere in Time
7th Son of a 7th Son
Brave New World
Dance of Death

these are all great albums. i have to admit bruce's high voice takes a while to get used to but once you get used to it you will love it. and it took me a while to get used to the totally audible bass which is very clear in almost every song. im sure youll like it ifyou give them a solid chance.

the 10 must own metal albums are:

1. Metallica-Master of Puppets
2. Iron Maiden-The Number of the Beast
3. Slayer-Reign in Blood
4. Metallica-Ride the Lightning
5. AC/DC-Back in Black
6. Iron Maiden-Piece of Mind
7. Black Sabbath-Paranoid
8. Megadeth-Rust in Piece
9. Pantera-Cowboys From Hell
10. Ozzy Osbourne-Blizzard of Ozz

now this is the official list of the ten best metal albums ever. i would suggest:

ALL Led Zeppelin
ALL Iron Maiden (except 90's albums)
ALL Metallica
ALL Black Sabbath (ozzy era only)
ALL Megadeth
ALL Iced Earth
ALL AC/DC
ALL Dream Theater
ALL Pink Floyd
ALL Opeth
ALL Van Halen
ALL Offspring
ALL Diamond Head
ALL Tool
Ozzy Osbourne-Randy Rhodes era
Pantera-Vulgar display of power, Cowboys from Hell
Slayer-Reign in Blood

if you get all of this you will be able to figure it out from there on what to get.

nah, they dont have that many. but i can say that only 2 of the current 6 are still original, and both have never left. here is a basic setup theyve had:

Vocals:Dianno (Iron Maiden,Killers), Dickinson (Beast-Fear of the dark) Blaze Bailey (X factor, Virtual XI) Dickonson(BnW, DoD-Current)

Bass-Steve Harris (Iron Maiden-Current)

Guitar1-Dave Murray (Iron Maiden-Current)

Guitar2-Dennis Stratton (Iron Maiden), Adrian Smith (Killers-7th Son, BnW-Current) Janick Gers (No Prayer-Current)

The X Factor (1995)
Virtual XI (1998)
Brave New World (2000)
Dance of Death (2003)

ok, im a maiden freak and have way too much free time.

The Number of the Beast
Piece of Mind
Powerslave

buy all 3 at once. that will allow you to get some of thier best work without having to search. there isnt a bad song at all. i would reccomend buying the albums 7th son of a 7th son and Somwhere in time after those. then you can get the 2 new albums, Brave new world and Dance of Death, both which are equal in quality to the erlier stuff like Powerslave. you can pick up the first 2 albums as well, (iron maiden. Killers) though they feture dianno on vocals, who isnt even in the same legue as bruce but lyrics just waste time between solo's anyways. aftr that have free riegn tho i would reccomend staying away from most of the 90's albums. the only on worth owining is live at donnington. also for ive maiden at thier best, pick up rock in rio on DVD. actually, that would be the best place to start and go from there, because that lets you preveiw tons of songs at thier best without having to spend $100. hope this helps.

ok. for starters, i think that me or enzio are best for maiden questions. anyways, they have 13 albums. i will list them and tell you which ones are the best and who sang.

Iron Maiden(1980)-Paul DiAnno
Killers(1981)-Paul DiAnno
The Number of the Beast(1982)-Bruce Dickinson
Piece of Mind(1983)-Bruce
Powerslave(1984)-Bruce
Somwhere in Time(1986)-Bruce
7th Son of a Seventh Son(1988)-Bruce
No Prayer for the Dying(1991)-Bruce
Fear of the Dark(1992)-Bruce
The X Factor(1995)-Blaze Bailey
Virtual XI(1998)-Blaze Bailey
Brave New World(2000-Bruce
Dance of Death(2003)-Bruce

here is the order i reccomend

Golden era: you can buy all of these in any order, but get these for sure:

# of the Beast
Piece of Mind
Powerslave
Somwhere in time (worst in the golden age)
Seventh son

21st century maiden (six memebers, 3 guitars)
this is a return to the golden era, the best albums '88

Brave new world
Dance of Death

The others: not as good as the other 7 albums, but maidens first two efforts are really great once yoyu get past dianos vocals) so her is the reccomended order:

Iron Maiden
Killers
Fear of the dark
no prayer for the dying
X factor
Virtual XI

glad you like maiden, gary, dood, dud, vodka, whatever your name is. enjoy, metal up your ass, and UP THE IRONS!

ive said it before and ill say it again. i used to be the biggest metallica fan ever, i wouldnt even listen to critisism about st. anger. then i decided to buy a little album called The Number of the Beast. maiden didnt become my favorite band until i had 7 albums and rock in rio. then they pushed metallica aside. the more i got into other bands the more i realized that metallica was great, but not the best. i own and love every album with the exception of st. anger. this is an album i have swung back and forth on so many times i cant count. but now i am coming to the realization that with this album, metallica has lost thier identity. load and reload were still metallica, they still had that sound to them. not any more. metallica is like my 5th favorite band right now. they have to have a PERFECT album to bring them back to #2. the whole reason i say that is because maiden is, always has been, and always will be METAL. Metallica has changed everything they once stood for. i still like them, and puppets and justice remain my 2 favorite albums of all time, but i still pick maiden. not to mention that Brave New World and Dance of Death ABSOLUTLEY KILLED all doubt that maiden was back. metallica needs an album to do that, i dont care what style they use as long as it is well written.

Iron Maiden's fucking wussy shit. Listen to Brujeria or Sepultura's earlier stuff, that fucking rocks.

Iron Maiden is WHAT!? I think I must inform you that Iron Maiden is one of the biggest and most influencial metal acts on the planet (they inspired Metallica as well), and their music stands as some of the most timeless and classic material to ever be written by man. Albums like The Number of the Beast, Powerslave and Seventh Son of a Seventh Son are truly incredible, and while one may not like their style, they surely deserve respect for what they've done for the excellent music genre that is metal.

mustnt forget 666, the number of the beast, (iron maiden), or one of the early metallica songs, for the thrash revolution, and some diamond head songs like am i evil as well
