Again?

 

My love for Rush is never ending. It's like a couple that's been married for 50 years. Even when the love isn't expressed you know it's always there.

i honestly go through periods where i wouldn't even consider them top 50, lol.

 

but it always comes back around.......they are never set in stone like a Meat Loaf or Pink Floyd or even Alter Bridge is.

Rush and Maiden are set in stone as my two favorites of all time. Been that way for years now. I honestly can't see anyone taking them over.

That's how Rush and Maiden are with me. I could not hear anything from them for years and when I pick back up it's like I never stopped.

Well, 2000's Maiden is really growing on me big time! I was so hooked on their classics, I was taken aback by the lengthier tracks.

Mick, the newcomer is here to teach those critical of Geddy's voice a lesson:

just proving this is my fav era of Rush.

 

70's i ranked right off.

 

the 80's records took my several SEVERAL minutes. Power Windows and MP swapped places about 10 times, lol

I now own the first twelve Maiden albums, and continue to play them endlessly.

 

Here is how I rank them currently:

 

Let me try, based on what I own and frequently play:

 

These are all classics:

 

1. Somewhere In Time (Every song is a classic, and it has my favourite Maiden song: Wasted Years)

 

2. Seventh Son Of The Seventh Son (The only reason this isn't number one is due to the fact that SIT just so happens to have my favourite song off both albums. Killer album.)

 

3. Number Of The Beast (I used to think this was just very good, but I came to my senses this year. Phenomenal album, my favourite songs are Run To The Hills (one of my fave metal anthems ever), and Prisoner.)

 

4. Piece Of Mind (Everything to love about Maiden is here. Where Eagles Dare is my favourite song here, The Trooper is deservedly a classic, but Flight Of Icarus is probably my vote for most underrated Maiden song ever.)

 

5. No Prayer For The Dying (personal favourite, sue me. I love pretty much everything here, Tail Gunner, the title track, The Assassin, Hooks In You...that massive single which shall not be named...I love it all! Great return to their punkier roots too.)

 

6. Iron Maiden (Running Free is my favourite song here, and may be in my top five overall. Exquisite debut album, one that I think needs more live. If Maiden kept Paul for more than two albums, I'd be happy.)

 

7. Brave New World (climbing, I really love this album but it's growing on me more and more. Dream Of Mirrors, The Mercenary, Out Of The Silent Planet and The Thin Line Between Love And Hate are my favourite songs. Amazing rebirth!)

 

8. Killers (Stunning second album, but let's not kid ourselves, you can hear the ambition in the songwriting, and as much as I love him, you can almost hear the songwriting itself demand a bigger voice. Still, I love it.

 

9. Powerslave (a terrific album, but I'm not the biggest fan of Losfer Words and Back In The Village. The only eighties album with songs I skip. Which is a shame as the rest of the album is all killer.)

 

Major drop off here, I doubt I'd replace these if they went missing:

 

10. Virtual XI (I actually like it, but it definitely isn't essential)

11. Fear Of The Dark (some great songs here, about four songs in fact. I actively hate some of the songs on offer here, and Bruce has never sounded worse (I'd say he sounds worse at times here than Blaze ever did on record)).

12. The X Factor (unlistenable, I genuinely hear goodness but it is just so boring)
