Somewhere In Time. Also their best sounding album. You can't go wrong with any of the first seven, though.

Fear of the Dark is a good album. Not up there with their best, but not bad by any stretch.

Amazing run by them to crush the 80s like that. They should've taken 10 years off from recording and cemented how good that was.

 Bathory first 6, Opeth first 6, Sabbath first 6 as some other favourites

Changes day to day but right now I'd go for Seventh Son.

No Prayer and FOTD are both awful, I never thought I'd rate a Blaze album higher than a Bruce album but The X Factor is the only decent '90s Maiden album.

Honestly could stick on any of the 80s albums and make an argument.

Piece of Mind? Not filled with hits but not a bad song on there imo, love the production too.

Quest For Fire is stupid an I've never been a fan of Die With Your Boots On, the 2015 reissue is the first version where the production hasn't been a distraction.

I always thought if side A of Piece of Mind was an EP it would be up there as one of the best metal EPs ever. Very front loaded album.

Quest for Fire is an OK song really, the lyrics to To Tame a Land are way fucking stupider, I can't listen to that song.

Studio Album is Powerslave, but best overall is Live After Death
