Iron Maiden exploded onto the Metal scene in 1980 and have been considered giants of the genre ever since. Iron Maiden has been shockingly consistent producing pure Heavy Metal albums that always stayed true to the style. Their live shows are always outstanding and their technical skills can not be questioned. When their fans say that Iron Maiden has no peers, it is tough to argue. Despite our high ranking, they are likely a long shot as the fact that they never had that crossover hit (“Run to the Hills” was as close as they came) that put them in the mainstream. Yet for a band out of the mainstream, they sold millions of albums were sold out countless arenas. They may not get the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s vote, but they do have Eddie’s!

Maiden´s new material is fresh, but with their significant style and sound. If you don´t believe me, listen to songs from their new album -songs like "The Talisman", "The Alchemist", "When The Wild Wind Blows" and "Coming Home" are just amazing!
Face it! Maiden are great, and at this point, they are actually selling better than Metallica -without going commercial!
But hey, they are too true to their style, and to their fans, which means that they will probably never be inducted -They are too good for that ;)
The most superfluous metal band ever.
