gotta go with fear of the dark and no prayer for the dying

definitely gotta go with Iron Maiden, not only cause its the debut album but because it totally kicks ass, and brave new world of course is amazing.

my runner ups would be powerslave, seventh son, and dance of death.

brave new world kicks ass because its the return of bruce dickinson

yeah and also its fun to go to sleep to.

also because its a great album.

seventh son and brave new world

iron maiden and # of the beast, mainly because they both came out before Iron Maiden became 5 middle aged english guys with shitty teeth that make the same albums over and over and over and over and over over and over and over and over and overover and over and over and over and overover and over and over and over and overover and over and over and over and overover and over and over and over and overover and over and over and over and overover and over and over and over and overover and over and over and over and overover and over and over and over and overover and over and over and over and overover and over and over and over and overover and over and over and over and overover and over and over and over and overover and over and over and over and overover and over and over and over and overover and over and over and over and overover and over and over and over and overover and over and over and over and over.

Brave New World's good stuff though. and powerslave kicks ass too.

dude you are so wrong. maidens albums are similar because its their signatured sound.its that way because if you are listening to it, you automatically know its iron maiden. Every goodband has a distinctive sound. if you change your sound, you are basically finding ways to make more money. that leads to selling out. for example AFI used to be hardcore punk. now theyre a bunch of emo babies, and metallica used to be speed metaland now theyre nu metal, korn used to be full heavy rock and now theyre rap rock, dark funeral used to be good metal now theyre shitty death metal, pearl jame used to be grunge and now theyre a bunch of pussies with no testosterone, because kids are in to that crap lately. the best thing about maiden is that they are not out there to make a #1 single or make billions of dollars. they just want to make their fans happy by playing and creating timeless classics. and anyone who tells you different is full of horseshit.

ed you couldnt be more right.

matty g i TOOOOOTALLY respect your opinion on iron maiden especially since you single out brave new world and powerslave, 2 sexy albums. but i must know why do you think they just want money?

yeah

my little brother kicks ass. [ed hunter]

Definetely Virtual 11 and Fear of the dark.

well, ed hunter, if you consider metal to be exactly what it was made to be (idiot english guys in tights that stuff their pants with socks) then I could understand what you're talking about. But some people consider music to be art. and some people want to find new ways to express themselves in art. now, I'm not saying you have to go Metallica and change yourself completely but you should try and change.

and if you believe that every band that changes itself is selling out then you're a bullshit retard. look at the beatles; they went from "Love Love Me Do" to Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band in 3 years. they changed themselves drastically but they still kept the original goals in their mind, and if you call Sgt Peppers or Abbey Road a sell-out, then you're dumb. look at Refused, look at the Clash and Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin. The greatest rock albums of all time are made when bands do something drastically different and dangerous with their music. and I never said anything about the money in that original post.

Iron Maiden is and always will be one of the greatest metal bands of all time. But they made the same album about 15 times.

i respect you opinion. i seem to not have thought that through. but you kind of misinterpreted. i dont mean every band that changes their style of music is a sellout, i mean that it could lead to selling out. i love zeppelin and the beatles with all my heart. but you have to admit "most" bands that do that are after money

alright, first of all i didn't misinterpret anything. i read what you wrote exactly how you wrote it.

anyway, i don't agree that change necessarily leads to selling out. if a band wants money, then it is going to go for money from the beginning anyway. they're just doing it a different way.

and dude, if you think AFI are a bunch of emo babies, then give Sing the Sorrow a listen. it's a great album.

i did listen to sing the sorrow. sorry to say that i hated it.

this argument is not worth going on with, because it will decrease my friendship with u guys. so lets get back to iron maiden

maybe your thinking of a different cd man. you loved girls not grey and silver and cold and the leaving song part 2. alot when i played it.

i only said that to make you feel good

haha

lies! you just wanna be cool here

i voted for Iron Maiden and Powerslave. that's the Maiden I used to really love; energetic kick ass metal.

hey franky and ed stop fighting your making me sad

Ed Hunter do you go to County Prep in jersey city because you have the same IP as matty g and he uses the school computer

I voted for Brave new world, it's the only one i heard im sure its not the best but i enjoy it.

my little brother says it isnt him so now i'm confused as to who it is.

if hes not your brother why did you have an argument with him about stuff

well. at first i asked if it was him and he said yeah. then he said no he wasnt and i'm not sure at all anymore.

what a gaymo

we just got killers today and it is good

killers is so awsome, definitely a classic.

i was surprised that dance of death was so awsome i love that cd.

im listening to seventh son right now. kicks ass

i agree that cd is banging. i dont know if i should buy x factor or virtual xi. im probably not gonna.

i respect not buying them. just make a bootleg compilation of the best of those two albums and call it "Iron Maiden: The Bad Years" or "Worst of the Beast".

does ed hunter even count as an album?

no. it's a greatest hits. (yeah, you know, multiple greatest hits and live albums. what are they, pearl jam?)

i thought it was a live cd

it's probably greatest hits and live stuff.

i wanna try the game

no its the greatest hits, with like one live song, and then a remake of killers with bruce dickinson, or some song i forgot.

i very like dance of death

yeah well you also like ours more than slipknot. and last year you said the used was one of your favorite bands. and i liek cheese

your not funny
