The Iron Maiden classic album that all metalheads are absolutely required to own, listen to, and enjoy on a regular basis has put them in a very elite class. Hell, “Number Of The Beast” has made THEM the elite class. Number of the Beast was voted the best British album of the past 60 YEARS in a poll conducted by HMV.
Let me put this in perspective, the following are albums that Iron Maiden beat:
- Led Zeppelin – IV
- The Beatles – ANY AND ALL OF THEIR ALBUMS FOR CHRIST SAKE
- Black Sabbath – Selt-Titled, Paranoid,….anything else
- Pink Floyd – AGAIN ANY ALBUM THEY MADE
This might be the crowning achievement in heavy metal, being called one of the best albums in your home country in a genre that normally gets looked down upon. Especially when the title track on the album is laced with so much apparent satanism!
It’s not like they won by a fractional amount, they won by a whopping 3%(with as many options that is a good amount.)
