Recommend an Iron Maiden album

Don't forget Live After Death either. But Killers first.

just buy the 1st 3, keep everyone happy.

noone will be more happier than yourself mind you

cuz you will be listening to 3 great Maiden albums for the first time.

it's funny, I am guessing everybody who remembers the thrill of finding out maiden is great shares this "oh man you're gonna have fun now" feeling

Guys, you are forgetting I already think Powerslave is awesome

also I got Number of the Beast and "Childen of the Damned" is like exactly my type of shit

oh and so is "The Prisoner"

Children of the damned is a definitive Maiden ballad. Especially the end -- classic. Live versions rock even more

This poll was OTM, btw

still prefer the 1st album

I ran out of Maiden albums (sans a few live albums but how many versions of "Run to the Hills" do I NEEEED, man?), so I bought the first Dickinson Samson album. was that a dumb move?

also Dan which ones do you have now?

Now there's some true Maiden addiction, seeking out Bruce Bruce with Samson! Actually I like Shock Tactics (1981) and Head On (1980) just as much as any other NWOBHM b-lister in that era. Of course I believe Piece Of Mind is fucking perfect, so what do I know.

They've really been raking it in with their live shows, they haven't had much time for writing or the studio it seems. Maybe they'll have something new next year?
