Excellent choices for favorites. I actually really enjoy the first two albums, though most of the stuff with Bruce is better. My own Iron Maiden ranking attempt (huge gap between 14 and 15; can’t emphasize enough how weak in comparison X Factor and Virtual XI are):
1. Powerslave (possibly my favorite metal album ever; perfect)
2. The Number of the Beast
3. Somewhere in Time
4. Piece of Mind
5. Seventh Son of a Seventh Son
6. Dance of Death (most underrated Maiden album IMO - love it)
7. Brave New World
8. A Matter of Life and Death
9. The Book of Souls
10. The Final Frontier
11. Fear of the Dark
12. Iron Maiden
13. Killers
14. No Prayer for the Dying (easily the weakest Bruce-led album, but still has some good stuff)
15. Virtual XI
16. The X Factor
Great list! I'm struggling more with listing the Maiden albums than The Who ones (it's been a while since I listened to the albums from start to finish), but here's mine:
1. Powerslave
2. Seventh Son of a Seventh Son
3. Somewhere in Time
Any of the top three are worthy a top spot, so it comes down to which album I'm in the mood for.
4. The Number of the Beast
5. Piece of Mind
6. Fear of the Dark
7. Dance of Death (I agree that this album is underrated!)
8. A Matter of Life and Death
9. Brave New World
10. The Final Frontier
11. The Book of Souls
12. No Prayer for the Dying
13. Killers
14. Iron Maiden
15. Virtual XI
16. The X Factor
Great list! I may have underrated Fear of the Dark a bit myself; on a good day it could be as high as #8 perhaps. I do love that title song a lot especially.
Trespass - the second Genesis album. I absolutely LOVED this album! The first had potential, and this one delivered big time. Just prog goodness all around. I'm super excited to keep going.
I wouldn't rank the album that high if it wasn't for that song, that's for sure! Afraid to Shoot Strangers is also a great track.
It's really close between Fear of the Dark and Dance of Death for me; I think DOD is a very solid album as a whole, but lacks that one track to make it stand out slightly more. With FOTD I think the title track and Afraid to Shoot Strangers make up for a slightly lesser album overall – enough so that I rank it above DOD in this ranking.
One of the greatest songs of all times
