    Back to the future was the biggest movie in 1985.. Then Somewhere in time came out in 86.. Back to the Future was a big smash hit at the time.. Then Maiden used some Blade Runner influence for the main idea.

    Well it came after the brilliant 7th son with its brilliant lyrics, phrasing and theme. Adrian left so a bit of maidens sound is missing. The production is not as good as the eighties albums imho. 7th son did well in Europe but thr Yanks never took to it so for me npfd was an attempt at re engaging with the American Market but for me it marks the end of maidens classic 80s period.

    Very cool you put Somewhere in Time as number one because it was never one of my favorites but it shows how Iron Maiden speaks differently to different people. I think the best is the Paul D'Anno stuff because of the gritty vocals and there was more diversity and creativity in the songs. Not a big fan of Fear and No Prayer.. but Powerslave, SSofaSS, Mind, and Beast are some of my favorite albums of all time. Now I'll have to go back and revisit Somewhere in Time because of this review.

    Nice discussion. I love a good Iron Maiden List. My list changes every time I do this, but here goes: 16. Virtual XI 15. The Final Frontier 14. No Prayer for the Dying 13. Fear of the Dark 12. Book of Souls 11. The X Factor 10. Dance of Death 9. A Matter of Life and Death 8. Brave New World 7. Killers 6. Iron Maiden 5. Somewhere in Time 4. Powerslave 3. Number of the Beast 2. Piece of Mind 1. Seventh Son of a Seventh Son My top 5 could change on any given day; they are each amazing albums. I feel bad for putting Fear of the Dark and No Prayer so low because there are some terrific songs on those albums, but there are several songs on each that just seem like real stinkers to me. Overall, an amazing discography!

    As a guitar practitioner who get caught more by guitar riffs and solos than vocals and other instruments, and as a fan for almost 12 years My personal top 5 List : 1) Somewhere in time (1998 remastered) (Has the best guitar riffs and solos ever. Also has the best B-side songs in any album) 2) Fear of The Dark (Man...This album takes you on a journey. Some songs like Childhood's End, Chains of Misery, Weekend Warrior are criminally underrated) 3) (This one is hard) Powerslave (An absolute classic in Aces high, 2 minutes... Some songs are really fun to play on guitar like Back in The village and also that galloping riff on Powerslave is a killer) 4) Seventh Son of A Seventh son ( Moonchild is the best album opener imo, also titletrack is instant classic) 5) Brave new World (Titletrack has one of the most complex guitar solos you could ever come up with. The Nomad is lowkey The Most Underrrated IM song) Other great albums : Killers, Number of the Beast Note: I never understood why Piece of Mind is such a fan favourite as i never really felt something special listening to that album. Sure The Trooper is a catchy song, but to me there are more less-known songs that i find a lot better.

    Good list! You've given a lot of thought to this and came up with a unique list that I'm sure many IM fans disagree with (I'd change some stuff too) but your appreciation of their music is obvious! Somewhere in Time is basically my co-favorite album along with Seventh Son, followed by Piece of Mind, Number, Killers and Powerslave, then Iron Maiden. It's really tough to rank their first 7, especially when realizing that Brave New World, Dance of Death and A Matter are all excellent too. I've rarely seen No Prayer ranked that high but I can appreciate that, it's a good consistent album, although I feel Fear of the Dark has a couple better standout tracks (but a weaker album overall).

Some of your choices I agree with, including your #1. Somewhere in Time is incredible and the tour was phenomenal, my first of 14 times seeing them. Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner is my all time favorite Maiden song. It embodies everything that is the unique sound of Iron Maiden, especially the emotion. ROTAM is a very close 2nd and for all the same reasons. I was a little surprised that you didn’t have Brave New World higher though. It’s so good from start to finish and it’s a long double album, but seems shorter because it’s so intense.

    Great ranking of a great band. It’s very tough to rank them, but I think my order would be like this (at least today): 1. Piece of mind 2. Killers 3. The number of the beast 4. Somewhere in time 5. Powerslave 6. Seventh son of a seventh son 7. A matter of life and death 8. Brave new world 9. No prayer for the dying 10. Fear of the dark 11. The book of souls 12. Iron Maiden 13. The final frontier 14. Dance of death 15. The X factor 16. Virtual XI

    Good video, thanks. I belong to an older generation so I see the things in a very different way, and that's interesting. :) My top favourites are: 1- Killers 2- Somewhere in Time 3- Power slave 4- The number of the beast I have to say that these four are almost in the same position for me: too great to put one of them below the others. That said, that's a super band and we all thank them!

    BryceTalksMetal, Interesting list...certainly a far cry from most Maiden fans. I personally LOVE that 'A Matter Of Life And Death' finally broke into the Top 10 on someone's list! (probably in my Top 5 in their discography). It was, however surprising to see 'Somewhere In Time' eclipse your #2 and #3 choices as well as how low you ranked 2000's 'Brave New World.' Cheers, Brent

I'm an old school Maiden fan and when Somewhere In Time came out, I didn't really love it. I thought it was a little, I dunno, more "commercial" and maybe a lil meh, but it super grew on me.

    I couldn't resist doing my own ranking. I've been a fan of Maiden for over 30 years now. They got me into metal! Personally, I love Final Frontier. If not for sentimental reasons, it would be my #1 album. I'm surprised you ranked Brave New World so low, but to each their own! I respect your list! One final note is that other than Virtual XI, I don't think there is a bad album here. I'm horribly biased, as Maiden is my #1. I do rank Bruce's solo albums - Accident of Birth and Chemical Wedding above the Maiden offerings. Just throwing that in there. Here's my list: Seventh Son of a Seventh Son Final Frontier Caught Somewhere in Time Brave New World Number of the Beast Dance of Death Fear of the Dark A Matter of Life and Death Powerslave Piece of Mind Book of Souls No Prayer for the Dying X-Factor Iron Maiden Killers Virtual XI

Powerslave Number of the Beast A Matter of Life and Death Piece of Mind Somewhere in Time Seventh Son Book of Souls Dance of Death Fear of the Dark Killers Brave New World X Factor Iron Maiden Virtual XI Final Frontier No Prayer for the Dying the funny part is basically I feel I am all over the place in their Discography - and yesterday the new video came out - it was good not great but after 2-3 listenings I kind of warmed up to it :) Anyway thanks for tackling the maiden discography (a second time)
