IRON MAIDEN Ranked: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHh48RjzAGc

Invincible Shield has no business being the absolute heater it is this late in their career.
-
Firepower is a perfection ranking; I will take no arguments. Hooks for days, riffy as hell, and Rob sounds phenomenal.
-
Man, Judas priest album covers are equally just as banger as the albums they are plastered on
-
Stained Class is a masterpiece of early metal.
-
Its your opionion and I can respect that. For me Sad Wings really hit the spot.
-
I literally came here just to see how you ranked Defenders of the Faith. I am SO happy to see someone give that album its due respect, it gets overlooked so much
-
Thank you so much for giving Nostradamus props, I don’t understand why people hate it so much, some of the solos in revelations, pestilence and plague, Nostradamus, etc. are amazing. I mean a band that released its first record in 1974 doing sweep picking!?? How often do you hear that? And that’s just one reason that album is good I could go on and on. It just needed to be shorter.
-
PERFECTION = Screaming for Vengeance & Painkiller & Firepower
-
Sad wings of destiny is perfection for sure
-
Great to see some love for Nostradamus. You definitely approached it with the right mindset.
-
Turbo is such a fun sing along album, it's actually one of my favorite JP albums.
-
Painkiller is my #1 traditional metal songs ever
-
now we need a judas priest and iron maiden stadium tour
-
Dang, 70’s Priest is my favorite era. I love most of their albums, but Sad Wings up to Unleashed in the East hits the spot for me.
-
I realize we weren't going to agree on things when you put "Sad Wings Of Destiny" and "Sin after Sin" almost last. Those two are top of my list, and yes they aren't quite modern metal, but the song composition is so amazing.
-
The Tipper Gore PMRC clip really took me back. Kudos to you, sir.
-
Can’t wait to check it out!
-
Totally hyped for the new album
-
Crazy how Judas Priest are still kickin' over FIVE DECADES of a career \m/
