Of course it is.

[Rick N. Backer]

Number of the Beast for me. After that, it's really a tie between the debut, Killers, Piece of Mind and Powerslave, depending on what I'm listening to at the time.

That was the first one I got. It will ALWAYS have a special place for me. If there's a song on there that is filler, I'm not aware of it.

[Mystic Slipperman]

1) Number of the Beast. Probably my favorite metal album PERIOD. :)

 

2) Powerslave

 

3) Killers

 

4) Iron Maiden

 

5) Piece Of Mind

 

6) Somewhere In Time

 

7) Final Frontier

 

Believe it or not I haven't heard the rest! Making up for that in the next few weeks/months.

Why is The Number of the Beast so low?

 

I knew I'd get flack. I don't really know.

 

I realize it's THE album, and I love some of the tracks. It's more that I like the others above it better. I think it falls victim to the ubiquitous nature of the album. I've heard so many tracks in so many releases over so many years that the others, old as some are, always seem more exciting. I love Run- it's the first one I memorized. Love Number. Children is great.

 

Hallowed never did as much for me as others, Gangland and Invaders aren't very good. 22 has a cool riff.

 

I always put Dance higher than most people too.

 

Paschendale is just fantastic. And I know people knock it- but I love Dance of Death (song).

 

But like so many I adore Powerslave and Piece of Mind

[Segue Myles]

Oh wow

 

Ouch

 

Impossible!

 

I could list all that have no chance of being number one...the rest swap around...and that's a mighty big number!

[PolarizeMe]

Somewhere In Time

 

It might not be the "perfect" or "Pantheon tier" Maiden album for most fans, but it's the one that "did it" for me. The other 4 in my top 5 would be the following:

 

Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son

Powerslave

The Number Of The Beast

Iron Maiden

[theredtamasrule]

7th Son (strong from start to finish)

A Matter of Life and Death

Powerslave (a couple of clunkers but my oh my the title track and Rime!)

Number of the Beast

Piece of Mind

Brace New World

Somewhere In time

Book of Souls

Dance of Death

Final Frontier

 

Everything else without Bruce I don't listen to often and the Blaze years I NEVER listen to. Awful albums.

 

 

[Mosher]

I hate the Blaze albums, as indicated in my vote, but I really like The Clansman a lot. Not everything was awful, even on those awful albums.

[J2112YYZ]

I'll have to ponder this one...

 

Indeed.

 

One of those great discographies​ that ranking them doesn't come easy.

[Your_Lion]

All I know is that Powerslave is number 1...beyond that, I can't rank them

[Ancient Ways]

Killers

S/T

# of the beast

Piece of mind

I went with Piece of Mind in the poll.

7th Son of a 7th Son
