All that matters is Iron Maiden from 1980 - 1985.

Iron Maiden. Sure I like them but not on the level most do. I grew up listening to heavy metal music of the 80's and Iron Maiden was a part of it but never my focus.
I get board listening to them after a while. A full Album listen for me is a stretch. I much prefer many other bands of their time. I have seen them live 3 times and all 3 times they were great, the sound quality of their shows is a huge step over most other rock metal bands. They really pay attention to overall sound quality clarity and detail. They also don't play overly loud where everything turns to noise.
I wish I liked them more but I just don'tDan
My personal quest is to save to world of bad audio, one thread at a time. -
Iron Maiden has stood the test of time. One of my favorite metal bands. Bruce still sounds great and they put on a helluva show.
I saw my one of my other favorites last year. Judas Priest. They were **** awesome and Rob.....wow, Rob just brought it. Just like 1984 when I first saw them. Glad to see some of the bands that defined the category still around and kicking.
H9"Appreciation of audio is a completely subjective human experience. Measurements can provide a measure of insight, but are no substitute for human judgment. Why are we looking to reduce a subjective experience to objective criteria anyway? The subtleties of music and audio reproduction are for those who appreciate it. Differentiation by numbers is for those who do not".--Nelson Pass Pass Labs XA25 | EE Avant Pre | EE Mini Max Supreme DAC | MIT Shotgun S1 | Puritan Audio PSM136 Pwr Condtioner & Classic PC's | Legend L600 | Roon Nucleus 1 w/LPS - Tubes add soul! -
Iron Maiden cassettes were in heavy rotation in my '76 Cutlass. I thought I was such a rebel. I also vividly remember the music video for "Run to the Hills", which was partly done in the theme of an old B&W silent movie, fighting 'injuns'."This may not matter to you, but it does to me for various reasons, many of them illogical or irrational, but the vinyl hobby is not really logical or rational..." - member on Vinyl Engine

I'd have to add a year because Somewhere in Time came out in 86 UP THE IRONS!! -
I thought I was being too generous including "Live After Death" (1985) and the Di'Anno-era albums (1980/81).
