Number of the Beast has a few good songs but the self-titled has at least as many and Powerslave is easily their best.

Idk. I never got to Powerslave. I've heard this album, some tracks of Killers and Piece of Mind. Of those, Number of the beast reigns supreme. I just think Hallowed Be Thy Name is one of the greatest metal songs ever made. And Run to The Hills, Number of the beast, 22 Acacia Avenue and The Prisoner are also badass. It's a classic!

The Number Or The Beast is the only Maiden record I've listened to so far, and it's really good.
However, I think I may have a kind of controversial opinion here : out of the four albums Supertramp released between Crime Of The Century and Breakfast In America, the latter is the one I like the least, though still great. Supertramp is one of my all-time favorite bands, and that four album suite is utterly amazing.

Once again, I don't really like either of them.
And honestly I can't tell the difference between Iron Maiden album covers

Hmm... Ill have to check out "Crime of the Century". I was surprised to see it was rated higher than BiA. I always thought BiA was considered their classic. I do really like that record. Ill listen to more on your recommendation.
breakfast in America has the particular distinction of being the only album I own on CD, VINYL, and TAPE!

Agreed, Hallowed Be Thy Name is really good. There's even more good stuff on Powerslave: Aces High, 2 Minutes, Duellists and the last two tracks.

In both cases the 2nd best releases from their respective artists. Powerslave and Crime of the Century are vastly superior in each case, but these are both good albums.

I'm gonna try out NotB today. I looked into the band and any satanism, and they're not satanic surprisingly. They're not for kids, but they're not a bad band. So I'll be trying it out.
