While we're all on a bit of a Maiden tangent, I thought I'd take the opportunity to find out everybody's five favourite Iron Maiden albums. This should be interesting!

I'll start: 1: The Number of the Beast
2: Brave New World
3: Powerslave
4: Seventh Son of a Seventh Son
5: Iron Maiden
"It's all folk music... I ain't never heard no horse sing!"
- Attributed variously to Leadbelly and Louis Armstrong

If at first you don't succeed, you are obviously not Chuck Norris.

WOW! Dude, I'm so jealous! I'm a big fan of Adrian Smith, he's a great guitarist and an even better composer - "Passchendaele" is just phenomenal.

If you like Bruce, try his latest solo album. There are a few dodgy moments, but it's pretty good for the most part.

I dunno, this one's kind of a hard one. These one's aren't necessarily my top favorites, more so some that I'm kinda surprised that haven't appeared in anyone else's lists. They've got too many good songs to pick a mere five.

Hallowed be thy name
Rime of the ancient mariner
Transylvania
Phantom of the Opera
The Gods Made Heavy Metal, And They Saw That It Was Good
They Said To Play It Louder Than Hell, We Promised That We Would

Hulk Smash!!

Whatever you do, don't eat limes. A friend of mine ate a lime once and BAM!! Two years later. Herpes.

Since "Hallowed Be Thy Name" is on Number of the Beast, I think you're good to go.

Well, seeing as everybody seems to think this is a "Top Five Iron Maiden Songs " thread, rather than one for albums, we may as well switch!

Here are mine:

1:Hallowed Be Thy Name
2: Remember Tomorrow
3: Passchendaele
4: Fear of the Dark
5: The Evil That Men Do
