Number of the Beast or British Steel?

Tell me what you guys think! Personally, I like Number of the Beast, just because Dave SHREDS on a lot of these tracks

Neither. Both bands have better albums.

The Number of the Beast, as it's the best album to have Bruce on vocals in my books (primarily due to Hallowed Be Thy Name). Neither band is a favourite of mine though, and there are at least 4 other Priest albums I'd rank more highly than any Maiden album.

British Steel has some fairly good songs. It's a good album, but a lot of the commercial "classics" on it pale in comparison to the more timeless songs on other Priest records. It does have some really strong tracks too, like Rapid Fire, Breaking the Law, and Steeler, but even then, nothing on it absolutely blows me away.

Number of the Beast on the other hand, while not Maiden's greatest, can at least claim Run to the Hills and Hallowed Be Thy Name, which are very powerful songs, so I'd give this one to Maiden.

The Number of the Beast and it's not even close.

 

[corpseripper]

Yes.

 

[PrincessHades]

Yes.

Fair enough. I'm glad some people can get behind British Steel.

Both are classic albums! "Number of the Beast" is amazing, especially with Dave's incredible guitar work. But "British Steel" has some legendary tracks too. It’s tough to choose, but I’d probably go with "Number of the Beast" for the sheer energy and guitar solos. What’s your favorite track on the album?
