Iron Maiden - Edward the Great: Greatest Hits

Iron Maiden is a BAD ASS BAND. There is no question about it. This very album was my first CD ever. Iron Maiden is an epic, essential Metal band. They band use a lot of history and mythology as the subject matter for their lyrics, which makes their songs very interesting. Also requires some form of intelligence and background to truly appreciate their lyrics. All of their songs are guitar-heavy, and there is something incredible and slightly eerie about the lead singer, Bruce Dickinson's, voice. There are no laid-back songs here, all of the songs on this album require intensive listening. Each guitar solo fits so well with the song that it incites a tingle in the spine the first time one listens to it. Again, this is another "Greatest Hits" album but it personifies Iron Maiden better than most. Definitely a rock solid starting point for future Maiden fans and the curious.

P.S. Track 11- Holy Smoke is missing. sorry. By the time I got a computer with iTunes, i had listened to it so much that it was no longer playable. The single song is downloadable from the iTunes store.
