Most would agree that you better get Killers, Somewhere in Time & Seventh Son as soon as can.
Brave New World was regarded by many but not Wyvern
as a great comeback with Bruce Dickinson. Dance of Death was ok, the Blaze period is forgetable.Happy Hunting

Add to that Live After Death, No Prayer For The Dying and Fear Of The Dark and you have essentially all worth having when Maiden's concerned...

Killers, Somewhere in Time and Seventh Son of a Seventh Son are the ones you should be looking for next. Those are actually my top3 Maiden albums.
Brave New World and Dance of Death are well worth buying if you enjoyed the new album, a bit more long-winded than the classic stuff but good. During No Prayer for the Dying and Fear of the Dark the band was in dire straits but they're ok, FotD being the better one of those.
The Blaze albums (The X Factor, Virtual XI) are indeed the weakest, some bright moments there but you'll do just fine by getting these two last.
Live After Death is a classic live album and absolutely belongs in every metalhead's collection. There are bootleg dvd's of that concert for sale but pass those, there's an official dvd coming next year (I think). Rock in Rio is a good live cd/dvd too, this is after the reunion with Bruce in 2000.

You already have AMOLAD which to me is skippable so basically for Maiden you should have IMO:
- "Piece Of Mind"
- "Killers"
- "Powerslave"
- "Number Of The Beast"
- "Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son"
- "Somewhere In Time"
- "Iron Maiden"
- "Fear Of The Dark"
- "No Prayer For The Dying"
Maybe "Brave New World", skip all the rest.

Everything from their debut to Seventh Son is worth getting.. anything after Seventh Son is uke: and not worth the price of what CD's are nowadays to get... Live After Death is my favorite though of the ones i mentioned...

bagdad, just remember what YOU like is what YOU like. Just because Wyvern doesn't like AMOLAD means nothing as I LUV IT! Same with Unfaithfuls opinion, they are what they are opinions and as you can read we all have differant ones.

This is exactly correct! Not to say that some of the other stuff isn't worth investigating, but this is the "essential" list.

Let's not get carried away....
I think this list has been mentioned
Iron Maiden
Killers
The Number of the Beast
Piece of Mind
Powerslave
Live After Death
Somewhere in Time
Seventh Son of a Seventh Son
This is all you need, though I would also recommend X Factor.....
Seventh Son, Piece Of Mind, Powerslave & Number Of The Beast are personal favorites but I think X Factor is actually a great album too though some IM fans won't even give it a listen.

You'd be surprised how many people have warmed up to The X Factor... Great album, Blaze would still be in the band if they had released quality stuff like that...
