Don't have Dance Of Death yet so I can't say where that would be.

 

[TRrEiTxIxRiE DTrash]

How can Piece of Mind be so far down on some of your lists?!?!?

 

[Mark]

I'm wondering how Killers can be...

6. X-Factor

7. Iron Maiden

8. Seventh Son

9. Killers

There is no 13th album.



Top 5 rotate fairly regularly, bottom 5 are fairly stable.

 

[Sydo]

1. Piece Of Mind
2. Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son
3. The Number Of The Beast
4. Fear Of The Dark
5. Iron Maiden
6. The X Factor
7. Powerslave
8. Killers
9. Somewhere In Time
10. Brave New World
11. No Prayer For The Dying
12. Virtual XI

Not sure about Dance Of Death at the moment. It could end up sitting anywhere from about 4th to 11th!..

 

[PIV Bassman]

Ok here goes, this is bloody difficult!! Tends to change a bit, but this is based on how often I have listened to the various albums over the last few years.

1. Powerslave
2. The Number of the Beast
3. Dance of Death
4. Seventh Son of a Seventh Son
5. Brave New World
6. Somewhere In Time
7. Piece of Mind
8. Iron Maiden
9. Killers
10. No Prayer For The Dying
11. The X Factor
12. Virtual XI
13. Fear of the Dark

There's not much separating the top four, nor the next five. The last three are constant though. Fear of the Dark has a couple of good songs but is a dog of an album, they were really getting tired by this stage and Bruce's voice sounds like someone has sandpapered his vocal chords raw.
As for the Blaze era albums, when they were released I listened to them a fair bit and didn't think they were that bad. In comparison to Brave New World and Dance of Death however they don't stack up well.
