Top 200 Albums of All Time: Iron Maiden

The Number of the Beast: Iron Maiden (1982)


Iron Maiden changed lead singers and course when Bruce Dickinson joined the band. The Number of the Beast marked Dickinson’s debut. He added a theatrical component missing with the band as well as a dynamic voice. Interestingly, while recording the album, the band reported several weird incidents including cold spots in the studio and lights turning off. In a bizarre coincidence, producer Martin Birch was involved in a car accident. The bill came to 666.66 pounds.

Key Tracks:

The Number of the Beast
Run to the Hills
Hallowed Be Thy Name
