Their Finest Hour (and A Bit) - Thunder

Some good old tunes...

Some naff dated ones...

Somewhere In Time - Iron Maiden

Eight amazing tracks, Excellent musicians and the best vocals in heavy metal, Great use of synthesisers to compliment tracks

Some may dislike the more epic and melodic departure

Metal Heart - Accept

Accessible pop-tinged metal that still sounds great, with a wide diversity of styles.

Some inevitably terrible, awful songs.

Live At Donington - Iron Maiden

A lot of great Maiden tracks, Some tracks not previously released live, Amazing crowd response

Many tracks have been released on previous live albumsBruce's vocals are clearly sufferingNot the band at their best

Complications: Trilogy Of Intricacy - Age Of Silence

No one gets to strut their stuff apart from the vocalist, who harks back to the seventies.
