I'm gonna go against the tide here and vote for "The Prisoner." I always loved that "I AM NOT A NUMBER, I AM A FREE MAN" intro.

 

 

Yea I ALMOST went with Prisoner too Man.....*Chuckles* I do LOVE that intro...... But, Number of the Beast is just THAT Much better Ya know?? Least to Me.....

 

It probably wasn't the first song from NUMBER OF THE BEAST that I heard, but back in the day I had taped "The Prisoner" from a metal radio show and listened to that one song over and over and over and OVER again till I finally had enough $$ to go out and buy the tape, so when you get right down to it, "The Prisoner" was the song that got me whole-hog into Maiden :banger:

Ahhh.. The first song I ever heard from Maiden was "Aces High" Actually... See, My first album was "Live After Death" And Aces High was the first song, so..*Chuckles*

 

After that though I hunted up ALL of their tapes..*L* And then, later on I got the special 2 CD editions of the first ten..*Just HAD to throw that in..*L*

Jesus, this is impossible. Too difficult to decide!

 

There's virtually nothing between NOTB, 22, Children, Hallowed.

 

& I also love run to the hills & prisoner almost as much.

 

Dope cant do it.

Probably go with Children Of The Damned.

 

I prefer the Live After Death versions of Hallowed Be Thy Name and 22 Acacia Avenue.

 

Truly classic album :tumbsup:

OK , I have re-listened to this and have to go with Hallowed Be Thy Name........but only by a whisker over The Prisoner.

 

To be honest tho they are all great (excepy maybe Gangland?).

    • My thoughts exactly  
    • Some of these I have touched on in the past, but not found myself desperate to explore more. For instance 8 have hardline eclipse and also II. But that's it  Same with a few others on the list, I may have an album. So I guess I really want another Tyketto where the whole catalogue is great. If any on the list fit that bill. In the past I tried out Alfo November. The one with a brick wall in it?, Lillian Axe and a Loudness. Maybe I need to try them again. I purposefully left some off, like Vibbie Vincent Invasion because of the screechy vocals. I guess I always put Mark Free in that group as well.
    • Doesn't sound like Sweet at all but I kinda like it actually.
    • From your list and what hasn't been mentioned ,Sleeze Beez -Screwed,Blued & Tattooed and their Powertool album  ,Bezerk by Tigertailz , first two Lillian Axe , Baton Rouge - Shake Your Soul...all particular favs of mine,I have  a soft spot for Loudness - Thunder In The East also,dunno if you have Master Of Disguise from Lizzy Borden but it would be my fav by them....to be honest most of the artists on that  list I like though 
    • New song 'Burning Like A Falling Star' from the forthcoming album 'Full Circle'.    
    • Well, the first two "Giant" albums are quintessential, as is the "Hardline" debut. Akdo Nova's "Blood on the Bricks" is one of my all time favourites, Lizzy Borden is awesome as is the Mark/Marcie Free fronted "King Kobra".  
    • So some may remember that Tyketto toured recently and aside from Forever Young, I never delved into this band. So I did, so I'd know the songs in concert and was blown away. A great band with an awesome catalog that I had missed out on. To be fair, in the 80's it was a lot harder to access and find out about a lot of the more fringe bands, that's my excuse anyway. So I now am faced with digging deeper into some other bands I've overlooked. Some of these I gave a go, and wasn't really impressed, but now I'm starting fresh with an open mind. So below is a list of bands I have eitehr never bothered with, or never really gave a proper go. Lizzy Borden is on the list and I have done a bit of their stuff and like it a lot, so I will definately dig deeper into them (I've got some older stuff and some newer stuff, but have skipped quite a few albums) But the others, fire away, tell me which bands have killer material that I'll froth and how stppid I've been to skip them. Aldo Nova Badlands Baby Tango Baton Rouge Black N Blue Britney Fox BulletBoys DAD Giant Hanoi Rocks Hardline Jetboy King Kobra Kingdom Come Lillian Axe Lizzy Borden Loudness Love Hate Quireboys Saigon Kick Santa Cruz Shotgun Messiah SleezeBeez SouthGang Tiger Tailz TNT Vain White Tiger
