Iron Maiden is clearly one of the most recognizable and successful groups to emerge from the NWOBHM scene that came into being in the late seventies, as well as one of the most influential metal bands of all time, with an infinite number of 80's and later bands owing to their style. Like many long-standing group, their early albums really define the band with most feeling that either Killers, Number Of The Beast, or Piece Of Mind are the band's best (BNR favorite: Killers), and there even those who would claim that the early Di'Anno years were the band's best. One could argue that they haven't really changed or broadened their style over their long career, but they have perfected it, churning out album after album with nary a dip in popularity (save perhaps for the Blaze Bayley period, though the stagnation was hardly his fault). With Bruce Dickinson returning in 2000 on Brave New World (along with a three-guitar attack), Iron Maiden proved they still have plenty of life left in them. And they certainly remain a fan favorite, with a stunning 14 albums placing in the Internet Top Ten lists.
