The plan was to make it a weekly thing, but not just my bands. Nobody else seems interested to do something though, so I'll probably make this the last one for a while. Got a ton of work to do anyway. I just thought Maiden would be something most people could get on board with. Maybe everyone else are just lazy bastards.

If there are any spots left I'll take any random album idc which, I've never heard a full album by them or listen to rock in general so it should be fun, but if that's a problem then I won't do one.
If possible since I'm a newbie I'd like an earlier album to get to hear their distinct sound or whatever, I've heard a few tracks that I dig so I'm not going to blindly hate on the music or anything because it isn't black music haha.

OK, well there are five distinct eras, just to clue you in:
1) Pre-Dickinson, the Paul Di'Anno years, 1980-1981. This is the period before the singer they are always identified with, and with whom they achieved their biggest commercial success, Bruce Dickinson, joined, and there are two albums in this period, their debut Iron Maiden and Killers. Both have a rawer, almost punk feel about them through the debut is the rawest. 2) Dickinson "Golden Age", 1982 - 1988. This the era when they were most active and most commercially successful, as well as at their creative peak, with Bruce Dickinson helping to turn them into a legend as well as a global commodity and bring heavy metal to the masses. Music is classic metal of the highest calibre. This includes The Number of the Beast, Piece of Mind, Somewhere in Time and Seventh Son of a Seventh Son. 3) Dickinson "Sunset period", 1990 - 1992. Two albums made in this period, as Dickinson grew weary and thought about leaving the band. No Prayer for the Dying and the final one with him for eight years, Fear of the Dark. Good albums but a lot of flaws. 4) The Blaze Bayley period, 1995 - 1998. Two albums recorded without Dickinson, generally universally panned. The X-Factor and Virtual XI. 5) The "Dickinson Rebirth" period, 2000 - now. Dickinson returned to the fold with one immense album and so far their other releases have all been great, but tending more in the progressive metal vein. Brave New World, Dance of Death, A Matter of Life and Death and The Final Frontier.

I say we just throw Number of the Beast at him.

It's a good suggestion. Personally, I was thinking of hitting him with Virtual XI, as he's coming to Maiden almost completely new and might see something in it that we fans don't. Up to you though Micco. Just let me know which one you want me to put you down for. And thanks for taking part.

It's up to him what he does. I just thought a fresh perspective on that ugly album could be enlightening. Hell, I don't care as long as the blank spaces after more album names get filled up. Come on people! Get in there!
I think I'll remove the live albums, as the response has been so low. It's unlikely there'll be the in-fighting and bargaining over albums I had been envisaging. Ah, it wasn't meant to be like this! It was supposed to be a thing of beauty!
