Survey: Ten Best Eddie Covers

[A7]

We all love Eddie - for Iron Maiden wouldn't be complete without the ghoulish mascot. Of all the album and single covers featuring Eddie, what are your ten all-time favorites?

And aside from that, what is your least favorite Eddie cover?

Hey, what is yours???

For me, I've always liked the Powerslave Eddie Egyptian "album cover" the most, however I like the "Eddie" from Killers the most. It's not the top ten, but then again I don't think I can pick a top ten! They're so good!!

Least fav - Blaze albums. Those don't even look like Eddie.

I love live after death and seventh son

Dont know why, I just think its (live after death) such a powerfull piece of art.

As for Seventh son, its like a wilderness, a haunted dream surreal.

 

[HobbesDawg]

Wow. Top two favs are probably Powerslave and Somewhere in Time. Just the level of complexity he put into those covers is amazing.

Least Fav: Either X album or No Prayer.

Top ten - wow, now there's a thinker!

1. Live After Death (my favourite album cover of all time!)
2. Purgatory (this is also my favourite Maiden shirt)
3. Infinite Dreams/Maiden England
4. Killers
5. Powerslave (album cover)
6. Number Of The Beast (album cover)
7. Powerslave (mummy)
8. Seventh Son (Eddie sitting at a book with the devil and angel candles)
9. Bring Your Daughter To The Slaughter
10. A Real Dead One

Worst ones are pretty much the same as everyone else's - The X Factor and Virtual XI.
