| Iron Maiden Ranked (minus Blaze/live Stuff)
Now with a new album in tow, time for me to remake this list | 13 | | Iron Maiden No Prayer for the Dying
A album most people, including Iron Maiden themselves, try to forget, a few
good songs, holy smoke, bring your daughter, tail gunner. But even the
good is just Maiden going through the motions, way too poppy and boring.
Lets move on | 12 | | Iron Maiden Fear of the Dark
I personally don't dislike this album as much as some people do, outside of
a couple of boring songs, its actually pretty solid. Fear of the Dark is one of
their all time best. ANd you also have some good stuff like Quick or Be
Dead and Afraid to Shoot Strangers | 11 | | Iron Maiden The Final Frontier
If you put AMoLaD and DoD together, this is what you would get, and it actually works really well. It takes a
while to digest like the other too but it turns out to be another great listen | 10 | | Iron Maiden Dance of Death
Again, a little too poppy of an album for my taste, but definitely a fun and
great listen too. Rainmaker was the first Iron Maiden song I'd ever heard,
so this album gets points for that. | 9 | | Iron Maiden A Matter of Life and Death
Instead of poppy like with DoD, Matter of life and Death is a little too
proggy for me. I do like a lot of the heavy slower riffs, but its the slow part
that hurts this album for me. A lot of solid tracks here, but this is hardly the
Maiden of old | 8 | | Iron Maiden Killers
Awe yeah, now we getting into the rough stuff, Paul Di anno. This album
lacks the raw power that the S/T did, with only a few standout tracks like
wrathchild, murders in the rue morgue, and ghengis khan, bu tits still some
great stuff. And you start to see Maiden switch to a more metal sound that
they perfect real soon. | 7 | | Iron Maiden Iron Maiden
The Best of the pre-Bruce era, a TOn of great stuff here, the title track of
course, but then theres running free, sanctuary, and phantom of the opera.
I'd love to hear them re-record this album with Bruce. This would be higher
if it didnt suffer from some production quality like Killers did. | 6 | | Iron Maiden Piece of Mind
I know a lot of people love this album, but other than Die with your boots
on and the Trooper. I don't think its one of their best albums, the trooper
can only carry you so far. | 5 | | Iron Maiden Brave New World
Now were getting into the elite albums, Brave New World can be descibed
in one word; explosive. This album explodes in your face with tracks like
the Wicker man, ghost of the navigator, blood brothers...The first 6 songs
of this album are amazing, and while it sort of peters off at the end, BNW is
one wild ride | 4 | | Iron Maiden Somewhere in Time
The most under-rated Maiden disk, you have some amazing songs here like
Alex the Great and the title track, but then you have one of their top 5 best
in Heaven Can Wait. Great way to start mixing more proggy elements into
their songs. | 3 | | Iron Maiden Seventh Son of a Seventh Son
And here you have the most epic Maiden disk, great tracks from start to
finish. Prog-Maiden at its best. | 2 | | Iron Maiden Powerslave
The most badass Maiden disc, Aces high is by far their best opening (if nto
their best song) and this continues all the way through the epic Rime of the
Ancient Mariner. | 1 | | Iron Maiden The Number of the Beast
What you get when you cross Powerslave with Seventh Son, the Best
Maiden disk yet. As well as the first one I ever had, it also has some of
their best songs together in the title track, run to the hills, and my favorite
Maiden song of all time, as one of my overall favorite songs, Hallowed be
Thy Name. Up the irons indeed | |

09.17.10 | you're top 5 are my top 5, just in a different order | Ire
09.17.10 | 4 and 5 are in my top 2 | BigHans
09.17.10 | Maiden is tough to rank. I would put 10 and 11 higher. And Piece of Mind has more than the Trooper, Still Life and Revelations are fucking great songs. | krazytom
09.17.10 | ehh still life is pretty good, revelations i cant really get into | RippingCorpse
09.17.10 | iron maiden is too low | Jesuslaves
