I really became aware of Maiden as a kid with Powerslave, which I adored and still do. I definitely bought No Prayer for the Dying when it came out in 1990, but I think it – and the band – got a bit lost to me during the whole grunge and indie era. Was reintroduced when someone got me a best of CD that had a couple of Brave New World tracks on it. Had a bit of catching up to do and just loved the sound of the second Bruce era. Such a fantastic band.Interesting that people have quite different favourite albums and periods. Some prefer the Di'Anno period, some the 'classic' era of Number of the Beast through to Somewhere in Time (some are not keen on the last two albums of this era) and you prefer Brave New World, Dance of Death, and A Matter of Life and Death. I read a Kerrang article a few years ago which listed Seventh Son as the reader's favourite. A great album but personally I was surprised to see it top the list. A sign of a good band that so many eras can appeal.
