The Iron Maiden appreciation thread

Isbjørn · 03-17-2013, 03:58 AM

I just bought Somewhere in Time. Gave it a first listen yesterday, and I especially liked Caught Somewhere in Time, Wasted Years and Heaven Can Wait (some weak singing at the chorus, though). What are your favourites from the album? I might have overlooked some gems, so knowing what songs to give a second listen would be great. Same for the Powerslave album.
I love the album art on Somewhere in Time, it reminds me of the game Beneath a Steel Sky.

I personally consider that album a shade weaker than the ones the came before it, but I do love
Sea of madness
Wasted years (so rare to get a Maiden ballad)
Alexander the Great
Heaven can wait

Which one should I get next - Piece of Mind or Seventh Son of Seventh Son?

Piece Of Mind. Hands down one of their greatest IMO.

Checking it out on Spotify, any essential tracks?

Both. And if you haven't already then get Powerslave. If Maiden were your favorite band then Powerslave would be your favorite album of all time.

I do have Powerslave. It's great ^_^

Seventh Son is a better album than Piece of Mind.

At least I think so.

Trollheart · 03-18-2013, 03:21 PM

That would be "Seventh son", of course...

Maiden albums in order of greatness and must-have-ability...

Number of the Beast
Piece of mind
Powerslave
Brave new world
Killers
Iron Maiden

and then the rest....
