iron maiden is the suckiest, gayest band of all time. music for the souls of twisted, long haired, satanic bitches. HOW TO DEFEND YOURSELF FROM THIS MADNESS: Carry a crucifix around and if one of these goths tries to hurt you, show him/her/it the crucifix: "OW! THE LIGHT, IT BURNS!" I hate iron maiden.

Couldn't make it as punkers and originally a pub band who have sold millions of albums and are now a metal wankfest for loudmouths. Notice how 90% of those who listen to them do so constantly and cannot go without referring to them as "THE GREATEST BAND OF ALL TIME", "BEST IN THE METAL GENRE", etc.
Some okay songs if you don't mind wading through the MANY crappy ones and oh god... just... SHUT UP.

Very crappy metal band. Most of their songs follow a cookie-cutter power-ballad: Each song starts mid-tempo or slow, then after a few very repetive verses there is a guitar solo which starts at a slow tempo then suddenly gets fast in the middle, at which point the solo becomes totally unrelated to the song (listeners are supposed to think its good though). Iron maiden songs often repeat the same chorus four or five times in the same song. Be warned that Iron Maiden fans might actually get violent if you point out to them that iron maiden songs generally exemplify poor musicianship.
"Stranger in a strange land" is a cooky cutter power-balad with a crappy guitar solo and an over-repeated chorus. When is Iron Maiden going to learn to write decent songs?

The greatest metal band of all time. A NWOBHM band that has defined all metal we know today (excluding Nu-Metal). Iron Maiden (along with the also immortal Judas Priest , Thin Lizzy, and Motorhead) influenced every 80s and 90s thrash band (including Metallica, Slayer, Pantera, and most noticeably Iced Earth) and invented the Power Metal genre (even though technically IM is neither thrash metal nor power metal). Their best albums are the golden trio: Number of the Beast, Piece of Mind, and Powerslave. Their two new albums, Brave New World and Dance of Death, also kick fucking ass. Their best song, fuck it, THE BEST METAL SONG EVER MADE is Hallowed be Thy Name.
Iron Maiden is the beginning. Iron Maiden is the reason. Bruce Dickinson is the best singer. Dave Murray and Adrian Smith (and Janick too) are the best guitarists. Steve Harris is the all-time best songwriter and a damn good bassist, and Nicko McBrain is a fucking amazing drummer. Iron Maiden can't be fought.
