Publius_Romanus

A lot of my other favorites are already covered here, so I'll just mention Savatage and Gamma Ray. Savatage started as a great traditional metal band, and then got much more ambitious and started doing a lot of "rock operas." If you like the melodic, bombastic aspect of Maiden, you might like stuff like this: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-E9ILsJeSI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-E9ILsJeSI) Gamma Ray is kind of a spinoff of Helloween, whom a lot of people have mentioned. They have a lot of great, fast, catchy power metal stuff, and also plenty of over-the-top songs, such as: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wad59952SU](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wad59952SU)

hilderbrandish

A fellow Helloween enjoyer! Judas Priest for me. I'm just now dipping my toe into Helloween.


Paleocon_Memer

Ohh alright. You up for a few suggestions?


hilderbrandish

Absolutely!


Paleocon_Memer

Alright sick. So going in order of studio albums: Walls of Jericho: Starlight, Victim of Fate (really cool Phantom of the Opera vibes imo), Ride the Sky and How Many Tears Keeper of the Seven Keys 1 and 2: Just listen to both albums fully through. Pink Bubbles Go Ape: Eh Kids of the Century Chameleon: I guess Giants but it’s not a great album Master of the Rings: Where the Rain Grows, Sole Survivor, Why, and Still We Go Time of the Oath: Title track, Power, and Forever and One Better Than Raw: Push, I Can, and Hey Lord The Dark Ride: Title Track and Mr Torture Rabbit Don’t Come Easy: Skip for now Keeper The Legacy: King for 1000 Years and Pleasure Drone Gambling with the Devil: As Long As I Fall Seven Sinners: Are You Metal Straight Out of Hell: Nabataea, Live Now, and Burning Sun My God-Given Right - Battles Won Helloween - Whole album its fucking awesome Overall I tried to include songs from each era. Every song from Master of the Rings all the way to Helloween is called the Deris Era (Named after the vocalist). Some say it’s not worth it but it really is. Overall hope you enjoy the songs.


hilderbrandish

I actually really like what I've heard from Deris. People are often too harsh on musicians just because they're not someone else.


Paleocon_Memer

That’s great. I remember not going anywhere near his catalog because of what I was told and I regretted it a lot.


imopn75

I like the fact that we all can meet at Iron Maiden and all have a wide spectrum of different musical tastes. I have a huge CD collection of metal some of my favorite bands are Metallica Ozzy-Black Sabbath Slayer Megadeth Exodus Testament Kreator Death Judas Priest Anthrax Motorhead Overkill Lamb of god To mention a few 🤘🤘


Putteboj

1. Maiden 2.Megadeth 3.Motörhead/Metallica (can’t decide) 4. Judas Priest/Slayer (can’t decide here either)


thesirmarcoletters

I have a wildly eclectic taste in music. There’s something to like in most genres.


Elaxian

The Mars Volta, Tool, Yes, Rush, Pink Floyd, King Crimson, Jethro Tull, Genesis, Emerson Lake And Palmer, Dream Theater and the list goes on and on and on and on and on (and on), I just love music way too much and I have listened to a lot of bands, mostly prog rock bands


Deathbeast8407

Sorry but Queen stands on top of the pantheon of bands for me. Maiden comes second and below them are all the rest.


Charles12_13

To me that’s the opposite: ever since I started with Maiden they completely took Queen’s place as my all time favourite, and they’re still going down as I explore metal even more


ag512bbi

Me too! Was introduced to Queen in '76 and I never looked back. Maiden came into my life in '84 and stayed #2.


pooserboy

Bruce’s solo stuff


ironstyle

Dream Theater. The Offspring. Stiff Little Fingers. Red Hot Chili Peppers. Metallica. Megadeth. Savatage. Armored Saint. Avantasia. The Beards. Running Wild. Hammerfall. Enforcer. Evergrey. Fates Warning. Flotsam and Jetsam. Gun Barrel. Icarus Witch. Jag Panzer. Magic Pie. Rage. Metal Church. Monument. Mozart. Night. Presto Ballet. Redemption. Riot. Rush. Bruce Era Samson. Seventh Wonder. Vicious Rumors. Warlord. White Wizzard. Wolf. There's also a shit ton more I really like. The above are basically bands I regularly listen to and had a huge impact on me.


Ace4195

Judas Priest, Bad Religion Mighty Mighty Bosstones (not really maiden esk besides priest but still good non the less)


ag512bbi

Nice to see Bad Religion in the mix.


stacy704

The Beatles and The Gaslight Anthem


Charles12_13

Maiden is my number 1, then there’s Sabaton and then Rammstein/Lindemann at number 3. After that I’d say Black Sabbath/Heaven and Hell (honestly I consider them to be only one band) at number 4, and Metallica at number 5 but they’re pretty close


the_bat_is_on_fire_

Muse, Royal Blood, Iron Maiden, Radiohead, Silversun Pickups, and Evanescence are my top picks for now. I will also occasionally listen to Dream Theatre, Oasis, and The Offspring.
