Iron Maiden Albums Ranked


Thumbs up: 0
One of, if not THE, greatest band there ever been. Iron Maiden rocked the world right from the start and released more classic album than pretty much any other band. My introduction to Iron Maiden was hearing A Real Live One and A Real Dead One probably a year before Brave New World was released, I was hooked, I knew from that point that this band was something special and that heavy metal was my kind of music.

This list is all mine and I haven't taken to account what is considered classic or good by anyone else.

Up the irons and all that!

My Maiden list looks different, but i gotta give it to you kudos for your number one, I only know another person, a user on the PA forum that says X Factor is his favorite Maiden album.

Thanks! Maybe my opinion of it would be different if I listened to Iron Maiden in the 80's but when I bought X Factor in the early 2000's it was just another Iron Maiden album and I loved it from first spin, it's probably my most listened Maiden album

What are your own thoughts on the album?

I liked it, although I did think Blaze was not a good choice for them.

that's a rude thing to say, we all like different things, there are a ton of Maiden list on MS and they're all different. And it's ok.
