Iron Maiden

Yeah ofcourse Bruce sang it live on many occations. It's on Live After Death for heaven's sake!

I guessed he must have done it, and yes that's better vocals than DiAnno gave us. BTW I don't have Live After Death

BTW I don't have Live After Death

 

I...can't...even....wow.

It's a great live album...eventhough it is patched together from various shows it is still great...that was Maiden at it's prime for sure.

^^ Live After Death has such great packaging too.  So many photos - on and offstage - lyrics(!), etc.

Obvs we vastly disagree on your first choice, but Final Frontier might have been that low if I hadn't recently reassessed it. Looking forward to the rest of your choices.

Your top 5 is very interesting Thel...very interesting indeed. Way different from mine.

[KiloDeltaCharlie]

I'm gonna guess that we all have COMPLETELY different opinions on Iron Maiden's best albums! And that's fine by me!

I probably should have grouped mine like that rather than rank them individually, some are too close to separate, particularly around the middle.

Really Fucking Bad
Virtual XI

I've been watching a lot of Ozzy Man lately, read this with his voice in my head, burst out laughing on this dead-on description. You deserve a steak sandwich and a mid-strength beer, mate!

Piece of Mind at 9? Well, I'll have to agree to disagree on that one.

[Jack the Stripper]

Yeah not having Piece of Mind in the top 6 let alone top half albums is a bookable offence lol. Piece of Mind represents a lot of what is great about them.
