The artwork for Somewhere in Time has always fascinated me

Somewhere in time is my favorite too and it has their best album cover as well.

I’m surprised Killers and Iron Maiden are so low. I still think Brave New World is the best of the Dickinson reunion albums too so that surprised me too. Fear Of The Dark is underrated I agree. If i had to pick a favourite maybe Somewhere In Time. Same as you.

I "discovered" Iron Maiden in 1984 with their 'Powerslave' album so it'll always be #1 on my list. 'Somewhere in Time' and 'Piece of Mind' aren't far behind. They're my second favorite metal band behind only Sabbath.

I love that you put Somewhere in Time at #1. I love that record so much.

Just my opinion, i think the self titled is one of the best Albums they've releaced, its in the top 3 for me. Along with Powerslave and NOTB

Brave new world is in my top 3 personally love that album (it was the first one I heard though so maybe bias) great video anyway ya scallywag 🍺

Brave New World is my absolute favorite album. I just think all the songs have so much story and so many transporting musical elements that it just can’t be beat. Great videos tho!!

Killers is my favorite, every song on there is "killer". I also love how dark it sounds. 2. Number of the Beast 3.Piece of Mind 4. Powerslave 5. Somewhere in Time No Prayer for the Dying and Fear of the Dark is where they started to lose me, not bad albums but quite a drop off from the previous albums IMO.

Very cool you put Somewhere in Time as number one because it was never one of my favorites but it shows how Iron Maiden speaks differently to different people. I think the best is the Paul D'Anno stuff because of the gritty vocals and there was more diversity and creativity in the songs. Not a big fan of Fear and No Prayer.. but Powerslave, SSofaSS, Mind, and Beast are some of my favorite albums of all time. Now I'll have to go back and revisit Somewhere in Time because of this review.

There is no “Worst” Maiden album, only the “absolute best” albums. All of them are way beyond awesome!

As a guitar practitioner who get caught more by guitar riffs and solos than vocals and other instruments, and as a fan for almost 12 years My personal top 5 List : 1) Somewhere in time (1998 remastered) (Has the best guitar riffs and solos ever. Also has the best B-side songs in any album) 2) Fear of The Dark (Man...This album takes you on a journey. Some songs like Childhood's End, Chains of Misery, Weekend Warrior are criminally underrated) 3) (This one is hard) Powerslave (An absolute classic in Aces high, 2 minutes... Some songs are really fun to play on guitar like Back in The village and also that galloping riff on Powerslave is a killer) 4) Seventh Son of A Seventh son ( Moonchild is the best album opener imo, also titletrack is instant classic) 5) Brave new World (Titletrack has one of the most complex guitar solos you could ever come up with. The Nomad is lowkey The Most Underrrated IM song) Other great albums : Killers, Number of the Beast Note: I never understood why Piece of Mind is such a fan favourite as i never really felt something special listening to that album. Sure The Trooper is a catchy song, but to me there are more less-known songs that i find a lot better.

Nice discussion. I love a good Iron Maiden List. My list changes every time I do this, but here goes: 16. Virtual XI 15. The Final Frontier 14. No Prayer for the Dying 13. Fear of the Dark 12. Book of Souls 11. The X Factor 10. Dance of Death 9. A Matter of Life and Death 8. Brave New World 7. Killers 6. Iron Maiden 5. Somewhere in Time 4. Powerslave 3. Number of the Beast 2. Piece of Mind 1. Seventh Son of a Seventh Son My top 5 could change on any given day; they are each amazing albums. I feel bad for putting Fear of the Dark and No Prayer so low because there are some terrific songs on those albums, but there are several songs on each that just seem like real stinkers to me. Overall, an amazing discography!
