Since I'm not a mod I can't post this in the classic section..

In addition to the three metal releases, I've got a couple of records from Toto and Yes I might do. I'll add them to the poll.

Anyway, just for the record, Iron Maiden's self-titled is in the works.

Close to the Edge is really influential to most prog (metal) bands, so following on from the Genesis review I'd like to see that reviewed.

For me, this is no contest: Maiden.
But Forbidden is damned good, too.

Forbidden Evil. Why don't more people know about this album?

I would say Iron Maiden, but since everyone pretty much knows Iron Maiden and their releases I say Forbidden...

So excited. Better be a classic. :dio:

Oh and I voted Accept just because I don't like Killers and haven't really listened to Forbidden which may change soon with Twisted into Form.

Forbidden has exceptional axemanship, but, like a lot of 80's thrash bands, the vox take a little getting used to.
Still highly recommended and criminally underrated.

How could you not like Killers? Another Life? Ghengis Khan? Innocent Exile? Murders In The Rue Morgue?
Damn...

It's been a good while since I listened to "Killers". Hmm, gotta agree with traptunderice (it was you, right?) on that one. The self-titled is much better IMO. Although nothing of the Paul Di'Anno era can approach the albums with Dickinson. Actually... I think I like "Virtual XI" better than "Killers" too... :rolleyes:

I strongly disagree, you can easily compare Maiden in the Blaze period with Maiden with Dickinson, whoever with Di'Anno, Maiden had a completely different approach of sound. I like Maiden with Dickinson the best, and Di'Anno is a close second. Blaze just doesn't impress me that much. Running Free is better than about every song with Blaze.
