   : Okay whats their top 3. I am curious now.   
      
   1. Seventh Son of a Seventh Son   
   -this has the best overall quality of all Maiden records, with even the worst   
   songs being "above average" at least.   
      
   2. Powerslave   
   -contains couple of mediocre songs, but also some of the most iconic Maiden   
   songs. Best sounding Maiden record,   
   with just the right balance of rough power & good production.   
      
   3. Somewhere in Time   
   -also very good overall quality with no actively bad songs. Awesome opener   
   with soaring guitar parts. Overpolished   
   production and some unnecessary repetition in some songs take it down from   
   perfection, though.   
      
   + all the albums have just totally awesome covers.   
      
   But Piece of Mind and NOTB are great albums too, no question...
