Creating an Iron Maiden list in 2019 is rather redundant, since it's already been done to death here. But having seen a lot of lists (none of them I agree with) and having listened to some Iron Maiden lately, I thought I'd make my own list.

I've only listened to Iron Maiden's 80s golden Era (plus Fear of the Dark title track), but I rank the first three exactly the same: 1. Somewhere in Time, 2. Powerslave, 3. Seventh Son of a Seventh Son
Those three have the best atmosphere (and best cover art) and are loaded with great songs!

I've not heard it in full yet, but I'm guessing midway is proberbly going to be about right for me too.

Not bad ranking, interesting to see Somewhere In Time at #1. Once again I'd love to "mostly agree" with the top 5 but not having NOTB and Killers in it...

Like you said, almost everyone disagrees on Maiden album ranking. The only thing most people seem to agree on is what albums should make the top 7.

I've seen a few lists with later day Maiden albums at the top of the list, so we all got different rankings it seems.
