Ok, Vitual and X factor yes. But I think that Brave New World is thier best album.
And Poweslave second. Dance of death's in my top ten and so's AMOLAD.

But that's just my opinion.

To me that's their best by far and then Iron Maiden and only then Number Of The Beast. I am mor ea fan of Paul DiAnno's more punk like harsher vocals than DIckinson's over the top siren ones.

Yeah, but I prefere any dickinson except no prayer (that's the weakest of the dickinson's IMHO) over Killers, or even Iron Maiden.

Fear of the Dark was very good and probably in the same league as many of the 80s music of Maiden, and probably shouldn't count in this given that it was still 80s Maiden IMO. Of the list it is probably the best, but No Prayer for the Dying is another album of Maiden I really enjoy, Tailgunner and Bring your daughter to the slaughter were classic maiden songs.

Since when is Bring Your Daughter To The Slaughter a classic Maiden song?
It is by far their worst song ever. Their attempt at a geniune radio hit which thank god dismally failed.
Ask anyone that grew up with classic Maiden what they think about that song and 99/100 will say the same thing as me

I agree with you about "Killers" Marcel. It is their best album! I think I was like 12-13 years old when I got the album at Christmas, I remember playing it for the rest of the winter. And I still do on a regular basis.

I've been a Metal fan since I was 11 and before that I was raised with my mom playing AC/DC, Judas Priest, Led Zeppelin, Queen, Aerosmith, Guns N' Roses, Pink Floyd, Deep Purple and my dad playing Rush (which my mom hate).

I don't understand why parents wouldn't allow their kids to listen to metal.

I started listening to metal when I was 11 and my parents didn't mind at all, even though they hated the noise
My parents would have minded me listening to top 40 radio music I think caause both hated that sort of commercial shit. My dad is a huge jazz fan and my mum is a huge fan of French chansons.

Agreed, my mom is cool in that way. We have an agreement here at home, if she is allowed to play her music as loud as she want, so am I. Feel bad for my little sister.

Yeah they were some good songs as well definately, Mother Russia is awesome, actually No Prayer wasn't a bad album by any stretch, it was definately a class above the next two albums that followed it.

Better than Fear Of The Dark? ok, In my opinion No prayer is the weakest with Dickinson on vocals, they tried to achive there "classic" sound. And I felt that it didn't really work.

If you read my earlier posts you would have read that Fear of the Dark is technically the best 90s album, although I consider it to be the last part of their 80s era/style and would therefore not be a fair comparison. I agree No Prayer is probably their weekest with Bruce, but it is still a decent album in any case, there are some good songs on the album.
