J2112YYZ Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 If i had to Rank 80's maiden after my run (i don't intend to continue cause just my opinion.....but nother after the 80's lived up) 1. Number of the Beast2 . Piece of Mind3. Somewhere in Time4. Seventh Son of a Seventh Son5. Iron Maiden6. Killers7. Powerslave Mick Oof, that's a pretty low ranking for Powerslave. i enjoyed it but i don't get why it's rated so highly. it's kinda boring honestly. Mick To me, it’s just a heavy block of driving metal done Maiden style. It’s easy to enjoy and keeps me coming back. Amen Nothing boring to my ears at all!!! Sigh..........FINE!!!! :laughing guy: :laughing guy: :laughing guy: Mr. Iron Maiden expert poopy pants. i kid i kid.......i don't dislike the album. just like it less. Mick Its ok i get ya. Will say Maiden is magic BUT Priest have more diversity. I don't think either band offers much in the way of musical diversity. What they do offer is individual signature sounds that they have mastered to perfection. Don't need diversity when they have that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluefox4000 Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 (edited) Going Through Priest now. stopped at stained Class. continueing today. i really prefer them to Maiden. i mean just looking at the albums. Sad WingsSin After SinStained ClassKilling Machine/Hell Bent for LeatherBritish SteelScreaming For VengeanceDefenders of the FaithPainkillerAngel of RetributionFirepower That is pretty great. and i think they have (Aside from Nostradamus, Jugulator and Demolition (all are pretty bad) better later day stuff. I enjoy Maiden's 2000's on BUT the stuff is just TOO LONG, lol Anyway just my thoughts and preference.

And whatever that magic is, I hear also in Rush and Priest. Can't tell you what it is, but the three bands all share a certain feel that I am finding so empowering and joyous. I listen to all three and everything I love about metal is on display. And yes, for a lot of their early albums, I regard Rush as metal. It makes me think that I have what it takes to be a massive Sabbath fan. I mean I love doom metal and gothic metal, and the two genres wouldn't exist if it wasn't for the Sabbath influence. I do really like Deep Purple. But one band at a time! All I know with Priest is I have played all their albums up to Killing Machine and each and every one was bloody amazing. Even the debut, which may actually rank as one of the best debuts I have heard. As for Maiden, been a fan for years but right now I feel like I am hearing them for the first time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segue Myles Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Judas Priest and Iron Maiden join Rush as my fave metal/hard rock bands of the seventies and eighties. Throw in Megadeath as well.

bluefox4000 Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 (edited) If your talking classic metal this is my holy trinity. Sabbath (get on this band more next Segue)MaidenPriest you can even toss Zep in there on a good day. Sorry to say i don't like Rush near as much as i used too. Don't get angry i still like them. but i think i can count on one hand the times i've played them in the last 3 years.

Iron Maiden and Priest are so great I may now end up loving them both more than any other bands in time. Hoping to see Maiden this year 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viking themed metal probably doesn't exist without them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 So Saxon are fine. Not as good as I expected but a nice band all the same. There aren't many bands in the same league as Priest and Maiden, are there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There aren't many bands in the same league as Priest and Maiden, are there? I call Saxon "dollar store Priest". There is nothing Saxon has done that Priest didn't do first and do better. I do give Saxon credit for one thing. Of all the Priest copycats out there, they are the most successful and lasted the longest. Sabbath's first six albums I would put in the same league as Maiden and Priest. I would also put Heaven And Hell and The Mob Rules there as well. Have you ever heard Rainbow's first three albums with Dio? Those are up there too. Have you ever given Dio a try at all? Love his first four albums. From Rainbow onward, Dio never did anything that bad. There's a few solo albums that are a little off but overall he always had quality stuff. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rainbow are fantastic, Holy Diver is a fantastic album. Kickstarted my Black Sabbath listening period yesterday. Honestly really enjoyed the debut, it has a lot of that Kate sixties British blues sound, but darker and really interesting. Already a good start as I used to hate the album. All I could think of yesterday is they sound like the band every goth and doom metal band I love told me to listen too. Odd how it takes years for something to click with you! I love Master Of Reality to death. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluefox4000 Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 (edited) I love Anything with Dio. but i've been a dio mark all my life so, lol First six Sabbath i agree on. it's in the same class as and Maiden and Priest.
