That has potential. As a pilot, if the plane was crashing, instead of that predictable and boring "Ladies and gentlemen, please put your heads between your knees..." we could have Dickinson lead the passengers through an acapella version of "Hallowed Be Thy Name."
"Killers" was my favorite album.

My first Iron Maiden album was Piece of Mind.
This is what I think of every time somebody misspells "peace of mind" on the Internet:

Powerslave is peak Maiden for me.

I saw Iron Maiden in concert (along with Anthrax) in 1991 in Charleston, WV. I was a teenager then ... I went to the concert with two friends, one of them being one of the biggest metal fans I've ever known.
Dang............You sir are OLD, but I'm probably OLDER!
KMET SUMMER STRUT ANAHEIM STADIUM JULY 17, 1982. FOREIGNER, LOVERBOY, SCORPIONS, IRON MAIDEN.
My cousin and I slept in the back of my truck after drinking a case of beer, woke up and washed out our mouths with, yup, more beer. Then off we went into Angels stadium. Great day, great show, cept maybe for lover boy! Scorpions really rocked too!

I'm 40, grew up listening to 80's hair bands, GnR, then the metal/grunge stuff of the 90s, Metallica, along with some oldies & classic rock type stuff but for whatever reason didn't get into Maiden until about 10 years ago. Glad I did though, been to their last 4 shows here and hope they have another tour or two in them. There's something special about their earlier music but each of their later albums have some excellent stuff as well and I like how they alternate what they focus on from tour to tour.

I spent the 80's in my teens. I've seen Maiden at least 2 per decade since then. They are still an amazing band and I'm always in awe of just how well Dickinsons voice still holds up. Bruce is still a giant bundle of energy, sings amazing, and effectively runs a marathon at the same time. I can't wait to see them again.
Aces High gave me goosebumps the very first time I heard it, and it still does over 30 years later.

I was fortunate enough to attend their local concert here in about 1984, I believe it was.

I also saw them in 1984! It was my second ever concert (first was Judas Priest, also in 1984) I still listen to Iron Maiden, although I don't really listen to anything after Powerslave, I prefer their early stuff.

I still have a fairly varied selection of metal CDs around, with a fair bit of Priest.
