@charliech good catch on those early Iron Maiden albums. Recently re-purchased Killers, was humming and hawing bout Number of the Beast...you've given me a nudge

The tracks that called out to me across the decades were the first two, Ides of March and Wrathchild, which i kinda think of as one track, much like Fleetwood Mac's the Chain, where one half sets the table for what follows. I love the post-punk energy, the almost space rock feel to it. Like Black Sabbath, that one has aged well

Conversely, i was dreadfully disappointed with my repurchase of Piece of Mind. The first heavy metal album i bought with my own money, aged 13

Oh dear-...children's music
