Pretty similar list as a year or so ago, but I have come to the majority mind set it appears that Somewhere In Time, is the best Maiden album

Cool update, HC. While I haven't deviated on my list for this particular band, sometimes it just happens.

Managed to miss this the first time thru, apparently....

Art: Fear of the Dark

album:  7th son

songs: the assassin, running silent running deep, sign of the cross, seventh son of a seventh son, caught somewhere in time

There's so many songs I forget about

I had to go look at there catalog and narrow it down lol. Strangely enough I'm very unfamiliar with there new catalog I've only had the chance to listen to and own DOD and I'm not sure if I liked it or hated it. It's definitely a different sound but there's some gems there especially the title song Dance Of Death and No More Lies.

For album its a tossup.

Album : Somewhere in Time/Powerslave

Top 5 Songs:

1: Evil that Men Do
2: Caught Somewhere in Time
3: Hallowed Be Thy Name
4: Prowler
5: The Trooper

With so many runner ups.

Favorite 5 songs: Cant be done....must list 10

1. Flight of Icarus
2. The Trooper
3. Die With Your Boots On
4, Two Minutes to Midnight
5. Purgatory
6. Twilight Zone
7. When the River Runs Deep
8. Shadows of the Valley
9. Where Eagles Dare
10. Revelations

Favorite cover: Easiest question— Somewhere in Time!!! All the easter eggs on the front and back. Terminator Eddie. Awesome!

My favorite Maiden album has always been Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son

Favorite cover has to be Live After Death.

5 favorite songs? Randomly...

Infinite Dreams
Can I Play With Madness
Wrathchild
Flight Of Icarus
Caught Somewhere In Time

Album: Piece of Mind (this was almost if not the first metal album I ever heard, it just holds a special place)

Songs:
- To Tame a Land (limiting myself to 1 from this album)
- Hallowed Be Thy Name
- 2 Minutes to Midnight
- Fear of the Dark
- Rime of the Ancient Mariner

Cover: They have a unique vibe but none grab me as great.  The self-titled is artistically effective with zero cheese.  The light pole always reminds me of a needle though.

Favorite album: Piece Of Mind

Favorite in no particular order:

Strange World
Revelations
Where Eages Dare
Killers
Aces High

Really love Strange Word at the moment so I have to say that would be my number 1 flavor of the week.

The Loneliness of a Long Distance Runner
Space Truckin' (cover they did on Deep Purple Tribute Album Re-Machined
Flight of Icarus
Pashendale
Children Of the Damned
