Now that I pissed off a bunch of people about Ozzy, let's do Iron Maiden.

Conventional wisdom ranks Number of the Beast or Powerslave as their best album. That's bullshit. Number of the Beast is a good album, but it's really three or four stellar tracks and the rest is kinda filler. Same with Powerslave. Which album is really number one ? The one where every song kicks fucking ass. Where Steve Harris really loosens up and lays down perfect bass tracks on all 9 songs. Where he loses his songwriting monopoly because Adrian and Bruce and Dave all step up and write killer tracks. Obviously it's Piece of Mind. Just a fucking great album from start to finish. A handful of songs on Number of the Beast are of the same caliber as the songs on that album. Also the best personnel line up.

Fun fact I just learned. Iron Maiden had 3 singers with the first name Paul.

Nah. Seventh Son and Brave New World are the Maiden albums that rip pretty much the whole way through. And I would give NOTB 3rd place. Piece of Mind, half the sounds totally rip, the other four are “good enough”.
 
My favorite maiden album is a tie between NOTB and SIT. The Prisoner and Alexander the Great are my 2 fave tunes.
Dance of Death and a matter of life and death don't get alot of love but I listen to em pretty often.
