I love the first album Eddie. He looks so gross and like a crackhead, standing there with his wild hair in the glow of the streetlight at night in a dingy city. It’s so memorable for me. It’s always been a cover that has been engrained in my head ever since I saw it. Also I’d have to agree with you, it’s my favorite maiden album too!

Once Derek Riggs was replaced, Eddie looked like shit.
Derek just made incredible album covers for Maiden.
Even the band were jealous of Eddie!

To be perfectly honest, I would never call any album cover straight up bad, as long as it's drawn (not photographed or edited) and actually created by a human being. I always appreciate either the concept or the art style.

Mastodon and Dio's album covers go hard as well

Best album cover : Caught Somewhere in time

Worst: Dance of death

@blackaciddevil 1 year ago

Power slave or somewhere in time really do it for me, both sonically and visually they have a lot going on.

@RedOwl2112 1 year ago

Somewhere In Time is the coolest album cover. Powerslave is the most impressive. Number of The Beast is the most iconic. Up The Irons. RIP Paul. And thank you Nicko.

I used to have that Killers poster on my wall in my teens. It is still my favorite. I think the Piece of Mind cover is also underrated.

@ll7868 1 year ago

Piece of Mind is my favourite for nostalgic reasons, it's when Iron Maiden went from being my dad's generation's band to my generation's band. I would listen to my dad's albums before Festivus 1983, that's when I got a stereo system and started buying my own albums & cassettes, Piece of Mind, Slayer's Show No Mercy and Kill 'Em All by Metallica were among my first music hauls and back then a new album was about $5 or $6, you could buy singles for $2 or less. It's also the debut of one of my favourite drummers Nicko McBrain, I played along to that album too many times to count, still needed 2 bass pedals.

Iron Maiden was the start of my metal obsession. I love the fear of the dark album

4:22 that's really the second draft! The first version of the No Prayer album cover had him grabbing hold of a grave robber

Dance of Death needs to be rereleased with a new cover!

@LuisdeSousa 1 year ago

My favourite Maiden covers are those from 1986 with the Blade Runner themes, that was Peak Rigsy. As the most under-rated I would vote for A Real Dead One, there is a great deal of detail that is easy to miss, and Eddie's posture is cool.

The "best" album cover of all time is Brain Salad Surgery. Very hard to beat. Attahk, To Mega Therion or Eparistera Daimones are also good, but in 1974 no one knew who the hell Giger was.

Mekanïk Destruktïw Kommandöh produced an image/logo so powerful that is more recognisable than the band itself. Worth mentioning.
