Release date: 1982
Standing track: Hallowed Be Thy Name

Iron Maiden and this album have become so big that when you type in the above names, instead of getting directed to the torture device and the mythical number of the beast, you get directed to the band and the album (how cool is that, eh?) And all because of this album! With such ultra-classic songs li... read more

Top 11 Metal Albums of the 1980s (11 music items)

"Three of the album's songs -- the title cut, 'Hallowed Be Thy Name' and 'Run to the Hills' -- are still set list staples for the band and the era. Maiden's catalog is as long as it is deep, but 'Number of the Beast' is an exercise in New Wave of British Heavy Metal done perfectly right. It marked the recorded debut of Bruce Dickinson, who wowed with his signature showmanship and that siren-like voice. Scream for 'Number of the Beast,' metal fans!"
