Well, to be honest, no. Most are not hanging. I have to rotate. Someday I'll post my whole shrine. Notice a couple of Maiden LPs there?
Why we "older folks" often take umbrage when we are accused of "not knowing metal."

Those are cool, are they normally hanging up? Never really been an LP collector myself, got cassettes when I was a kid and went to cds from there. My older cousins have truckloads of LPs from the 70s and 80s, should raid their collections and see what's in there. Bound to be a few cool ones.

Sad you missed that gen. I value my LPs almost as much as my guitars. I hosted a college metal radio show for years and framed more than one. As I have said before, I can still say where the skips were in DOTF.
Picture LPs. Nothing better.

Still got the tape in a box somewhere but my version is on cd. LPs are definately the best for artwork and aesthetics (is that how you spell it ) for sure. Got a record player but it's not set up. Have a few records, Got Priests Rocka Rolla on LP, the one with the bottle top and the one with the futruristic warrior or what ever he is, also Sad Wings on LP and AC/DC Highway and Back In Black, plus a few others, haven't listened to them for years and years.

Ah...I hope you have the LP. That is a great loss, I am afraid. While a cassette, CD or even digital might be better in sound, nothing beats holding a work of art in your hands as in an LP. Still own them, still collect them, still have a workable turntable.

It was the first Iron Maiden album I ever owned. A guy at school gave it to me on cassette when I was about 12 or 13.

I also applaud you for having a friggin' OPINION! Not a pure fanboy who stands by everything. Hell, I have never once said that I am not a Maiden fan but I can't stand their recent material. Not as bad as Metallica but close. IMO, Priest just leaves them in the dust.
Also, I agree with your assessment of "Somewhere." I love some of those songs and, as you said, the artwork is without compare. 'Blade Runner.' While I am a long distance runner, I can't stand the song, however. Sea of Madness, eh.... not my fav. Wasted years and Caught Somewhere in Time are my big favs. Still, I could stare at that artwork forever.

Somewhere In Time is the most under-rated Maiden album. I don't think it has a weak track. Some people might say De Ja Vu, Sea Of Madness or The Loneliness Of The Long Distance Runner are not that great but I reckon they are cool songs. It also has top notch cover artwork and three songs that are Maiden classics, Wasted Years, Stranger In A Strange Land and Heaven Can Wait.

WOW. I'm impressed...somebody who isn't afraid of listing Iron Maiden albums however I am utterly "shocked" at how you list Somewhere In Time over Killers,Piece Of mind,Iron Maiden and Powerslave....from 1986 when it came out till now I'm still trying to figure out what is good about this album I can't take any of it,not even one song but I must have to say to each his own. At least this is "an opinion" and your not saying "oh gaga everything they do is equally excellent". I agree that AMOLAD is boring,even though I do like most of it it isn't anywhere near,not even near thier first 5 studio albums(1980 - 1984).
Whats also interesting is your first 7 albums listed are all from the 1980's and my first 6 albums are also from the 1980's and the rest is all rated as "aeh..ok" to "shit" from both our opionions. I can't even fathom how many people/fans have said the same thing year after year that the 80's material is the band's best and everything else is "ah...ok I guess"...everybody nowadays just wants to see the band "live" because they can't "get anything special" out of thier albums from 1990 till now,they just can't get anything they want from these less than average albums.
I'd like to see how many people would go see Iron Maiden if they were to only play songs from the shitty albums from 1990 No Prayer For The Dying to now with A Matter Of life And Death"...1990 - 2006 no "Number Of The Beast" song no nothing just those albums from 1990 to 2006,I'm sure they would still pack em' in because of how many fan boys out there but I'd still bet there wouldn't be as many people excited about it.

Ok, I wouldn't really call it a challenge though.
Number Of The Beast ( awesome )
Somewhere In Time ( awesome )
Killers ( awesome )
Piece Of Mind ( agree about Quest For Fire and don't really like To Tame A Land either )
Powerslave ( Solid but the good songs aren't as good as the good songs on POM )
Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son ( Great all round album, a touch mellodramatic )
Iron Maiden ( This and Seventh Son I rate equally )
Fear Of The Dark ( Not bad, 7/10 )
Dance Of Death ( A few good songs )
Brave New World ( A few good songs , I rate this and Dance Of Death equally )
No Prayer For The Dying ( Boring )
A Matter Of Life And Death ( Long and boring )
X Factor ( Crap )
Virtual XI ( haven't even heard it because X factor was so crap. )

Iron Maiden-excellent
The Number Of The Beast-excellent
Piece Of Mind -excellent except for Quest For Fire the shit song
Powerslave-awsome except for The Duellists shit song
Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son -good album except for The Evil That Men Do crappy song
A Matter Of Life And Death -fair album except for Different World and Benjamim Bragg shit songs
Brave New World -half "ok" half shit album
Somewhere In Time-poor album
Fear Of The Dark- shit album except for the song Be Quick Or Be Dead that song is awsome on a shit album
No Prayer For The Dying -shit album except for Mother Russia that track is good
Dance Of Death - horrible shitty record I hate it all

So you are being anal about the way the sentence was structured? Maybe he didn't say it the "correct" way but I understood perfectly what Brian was getting at and I'm sure you did too. You're just looking for a fight because you don't like Brian.
PS. You are extremely anal about everything to do with metal.

LOL! Ha ha,thats not correct jimmy as you and Brian are not understanding what these statements actually mean in a stuctured sentence.I'm not being "anal" about anything jimmy,Brian has contradicted himself and I just called him out on it,no need for you to worry about it,but we will "agree to disagree" thats all.
And I'm not the Maiden fanboy,you should dedicate that Twilight Zone song to Brian...after all,any other song by any other band that did not have a guitar solo in it is considered "not good" but if its an Iron Maiden song than it "is good" and doesn't really need one. HA!

Think about it. lol!
