Released: 1982 Capitol
|
| Iron Maiden had three great albums that stood
above the rest: Number of the Beast , Piece of
Mind (1983) and Powerslave (1984). I chose this over
the other two because of the fact that it really was the
beginning of that period of greatness and four tunes that really
sum up that greatness. They are: "Number of the
Beast", "Hallowed Be Thy Name", "Run to the
Hills" and "Children of the Damned". Piece of
Mind had the very impressive "Flight of Icarus"
and "The Trooper", while Powerslave features
"Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner". They are the three
must-own CDs from Iron Maiden. If you're looking for a live
album from Maiden, I'd suggest Live After Death (1985)
which happens to contain mostly material from the three
aforementioned albums. |
