I voted for Fear of The Dark, why? simple answer: Fear Of The Dark and Afraid To Shoot Strangers. long answer: I'm too lazy to write x)

However, I coincide, The Clansman is as good as Fear or Afraid. Great theme, one of my first favourites from Maiden.

Most of Iron maidens albums past Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son I find pretty boring, so I guess my favorite Maiden 90's album would have to be one of the live ones.

The X Factor is the best of these four, a great album that takes time to get into completely. NPFTD is the worst Iron Maiden album ever, FOTD has many great tracks but too many fillers and Virtual XI fails to deliver all the good ideas it has by spreading some good parts into a few bad songs.

1. The X Factor
2. Virtual XI
3. Fear of The Dark
4. No Prayer For The Dying

I think their best 90's album is "Fear of the Dark", despite I agree with the people above who said that Iron Maiden became boring after 7th Son.

Ok... first of all.. Maiden Cannot be ''BORING'' what the hell guys !

And in my opinion.. Fear of the dark.. is the best album there and certainly the more developed one.
Nothing can beat Fear of the dark - Afraid - Judas - Be quick. Not Even The Clansman or Sign of the cross.

In my opinion the 90:s were the weakest period from Maiden even if the albums probably kicks most of the other bands albums ass at this time.
I voted for X-factor, a very underated album by Maiden, not a weak song on it.
I almost gave my vote to Fear of the dark but to be real honest, on that album there are like 3-4 weak songs, but on the other hand 2 of their best songs ever is on that album: Fear of the dark and Afraid to shoot strangers.

fear of the dark is the best 90s album to me, many great songs.
i'm not a great fan of virtual XI and X factor, since Bruce Dickinson isn't on the albums.

are you that misimformed?? Bruce Dickinson rejoined Iron Maiden in 1999 and they released 3 records since than: Brave New World - 2000, Dance of Death - 2003 and A Matter of Life and Death - 2006.

I voted for Fear of the Dark, is the most decent among them, the albums without bruce are a total crap.

Dance of Death is the weakest of these three; but using the term "suck" is too much.

I am quite a fan of this band but only due to the albums until Seventh Son. I do not like quite much what they have released after that one. In my own opinion, I just enjoy all songs from X Factor while there are 3-5 songs in every other album that I do not like or even find boring.

Personally I don't actually the whole albums but I like little bit's and pieces from it. I love Fear Of The Dark (album) Because it has "Wasting love" " Be Quick Or Be Dead" "From Here To Eternity" and most importantly "Fear of the dark"

I've allways hated Blaze's voice but I like it on "Como Estais Amigo's" (sp?)

I would say i was quite disappointed with "Fear Of The Dark" album...probably not a single song really interested me, even Fear Of The Dark version from album isnt nice for me..."No Prayer For Dying" is way better
