Probably Dave Murray, though i can't stand his face, he looks so much like a woman he wrote most of the kickass melodies and riffs.

Dave Murray is a picture perfect image of the phrase "Never to old to rock." He looks like hes in his mid 70's or so, yet he's still on stage performing to thousands of fans and nailing his solo's.

My vote would go to Steve, as nearly all of Maiden's best tunes were written or co written by him.

Nicko McBrain. I've seen the documentary Flight 666 and i found Nicko very interesting. He is funny and kind of stupid and above all he play drums.

Hard choice, I like all of them. Probably Murray though, I just like his personality a lot and his whole posture in the band and during shows although now he doesn't move very much

I voted for Steve Harris. He's been there since the very beginning when he started the band, he's written most of their best songs, and it seems that he's played a big role in directing the band's approach over the years. Although he's not the 'frontman' in a traditional sense, it could be argued that he is the 'main man' of the band.

Harris also seems to be refreshingly down to Earth. Apparently he's never taken drugs or even smoked a cigarette in his life, which shows that you can be a longhaired tattooed guy in an incredibly famous Metal band, and yet not succumb to the conformity of the stereotypical 'rock star' lifestyle.

BTW, the thread starter should give his own opinion as well.

@Valentin B: I don't know what happened to Dave Murray's face but it started to look very weird and ugly with age. It looks plastic, as if he got some facial surgery.

Hard to decide... but I'm going to say Steve Harris. He's written most of their stuff, and the sheer talent in his fingers is insane.

Also, about the comments on Dave's face: I had heard once that he was born with some kind of skin problem. Probably not true, but, hey.

Bruce Dickinson for me, I've never had the pleasure of learning/playing an instrument, so often the vocals of bands/artists are what appeals to me, and few are as good as Bruce Dickinson, for me.

I've always liked Adrian Smith the best. He is a great guitarist and a major component of the songwriting. Most of the songs that were written by him with Steve Harris are my favourites, and always seem to be highlights off the albums.

I think Steve Harris is my next choice. He wrote most of the stuff and he is the original. I don't really care too much for how good a bass player is though, it wont make a song brilliant or ruin it either.

Dave Murray is great, nothing to really say about him.

Bruce Dickinson is a fantastic frontman. I dare to say he is not a brilliant vocalist though. He has a good range, but he doesn't stand out as a brilliant vocalist for me. He certainly puts in a great effort though, and i'm glad he is still there today.

Nicko McBrain does his job, nothing standout for me. Only contributed to a few songs.

Janick Gers just doesn't need to be there imo. He served his purpose until Adrian came back, and now he is just a show pony.

Steve Harris for fucking sure!! I like his totally Heavy Metal stature, very moronic, funny and I met him in 2008 in Cardiff[outside Millennium Sports Complex] he was really gentle although rest of the bands members were in a bus...he was the only one who controlled the fans questions and met him very gently. I also support him cause of the great amount of awesome songs he wrote for Maiden and some really classy riffs which till now smashing in every Maidenheads. I really like him.

I voted for Adrian Smith, because I like his songwriting and I think he is the most underestimated and unrecognised member of the band.
When he left the band after the "Seventh Son"-album Iron Maiden weren't the same anymore. That was the end of the classic Maiden albums. The songwriting level of the following albums sank and more and more songs sounded only like typical Steve Harris songs. Adrian is a good counterpart to Steve Harris in songwriting. Of course you get the best songwriting in terms of variety when every member of the band takes part in it.
So I was happy when Adrian joined Bruce after he also had left Maiden and they made the top albums "Accident of Birth" and "Chemical Wedding" that could have been Maiden ones.
Thank god they're both back again and the quality of the songs is nearly as good as the one in the eighties.

So I hope after this there will be more Irons who vote for Adrian.

On the other hand of course if you would ask me with whom I would have a drink, I would surely choose Nicko, because you can always have fun with him. He is such a positive and funny guy.

I still think Iron Maiden should have fired Gers when Adrian came back.

He reminds me of Bert Newton (TV personality over here, considered 2nd only to the late Graham Kennedy).
I might have to say Blaze Bayley, because I like his voice.
