Which is the best Iron Maiden album with Bruce Dickinson?

[Iceman24]

Number of The Beast - for Hallowed Be Thy Name.

Yeah, but except for that song and Children Of The Damned NOTB is more or less crap. Many, many fillers.

Well, maybe not crap, but it's got really alot of fillers.

No way, the only filler IMO is Invaders, which is actually good for filler. Some would argue Gangland is filler, but I fucking love that song! The rest of tha album is absolutely classic though. Theres the "hits"; NOTB, Run To The Hils, Hallowed and COTD, but 22 Acacia Ave. and The Prisoner are the true gems. I would honestly rank The Prisoner in my top 10 favorite songs of all time. Shame they haven't played it live since '88

The fillers are Invaders, Gangland and Prisoner. They are just bad.

Run To The Hills is quite good and Number Of The Beast is okay, but it's nothing special. But Prisoner is one of the worst songs they ever did.

What don't you like about The Prisoner? It's got a good, driving riff, good lyrics and a great sing along chorus. I'm assuming you don't like Back In The Village either then?

Nope I don't like Back in the village, either. Powerslave really got a lot of fillers, too. Just listened to The Prisoner, it was better than I had it in mind, but The Prisoner is like "Can I play with Madness", it's such a cheesy chorus. The verse is okay, but the chorus is just cheesy. I think their first 3 Bruce Dickinson albums really have a lot of filler songs.

That reminds me, I need to complete my Maiden collection.
