A little list series where I list my top 20 favorite metal albums every year starting from the year I was born in.

Man this list was a rough one, but in a good way 1988 is one of the best years in metal history and a lot of great release came out that year, cutting it down to just 20 was tough and ranking them was even harder.

1.Queensrÿche - Operation: Mindcrime

2.Helloween - Keeper Of The Seven Keys Part II

3.Bathory - Blood Fire Death

4.Candlemass - Ancient Dreams

5.Iron Maiden - Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son

All time favorite band, Iron Maiden, was the first heavy metal band I heard with the album Killers in early eighties. Today I found myself making a ranking of their discography. No one can deny the first 10 years was the golden years of the band and the records are in the top of every list , after that the band still making great songs even with Blaze Bayley and Im still believe that he done a great job and he deserved more attention and respect…
so , no bad records just my personal taste of one of the greatest bands of heavy metal

1.Iron Maiden - Powerslave

3.Iron Maiden - Somewhere In Time

4.Iron Maiden - Killers

5.Iron Maiden - Iron Maiden

Before we start a few things
I Rule: Up The Irons!
II Rule: A Perfect cover will get a special mark " 🤘 " and then comes my pure subjective view that will always be different from yours. album with \m/ vs album without \m/ but a little bit higher = still both amazing ! i can not choose T_T don't push me! i can feel it it'll be too pity T_T
III Rule: Black Sabbath Effect(Positive side) - When you look from afar on the cover of the album and it seems incredibly classy,gorgeous and cool, but when you try to see what's happening there, only one thing comes to mind "WHAT THE F...?"
IV Rule: Rules for fools stop reading them! and let's rock
Large Version of Bruce's middle finger for real freaks https://i.pinimg.com/originals/bf/d9/5a/bfd95ab8cd25909c0f3c18db6f71ab86.jpg

Almost impossible to do... but I tried it anyway. Ranking all Iron Maiden songs in 1 list. Now this is my opinion and I have no doubt that everyone will have a different opinion on which song is better or worse but as I said this is my personal list.

You don't have to agree (in fact I would find it really strange if you would rank them exactly the same as me).

Also important to note is that I left out songs like Women In Uniform, Virus, etc. Only the songs that were a part of the actual CD/LP. So no B side songs or seperately released tracks.

1.Iron Maiden - Infinite Dreams

2.Iron Maiden - Paschendale

3.Iron Maiden - Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son

4.Iron Maiden - Hallowed Be Thy Name

5.Iron Maiden - Empire Of The Clouds

Well, I can't afford every album I want so I'm going off of my August 2013 count of about 700 albums. First time I've ever done this so it may be quite scattered.

This is personal and not like a Rust in Peace, then Black Sabbath, then Painkiller type of list. Time to destroy.

1.Stratovarius - Visions

2.Opeth - Ghost Reveries

3.Yes - Close to the Edge

4.Omnium Gatherum - New World Shadows

5.Ayreon - 01011001
