Iron Maiden is certainly one of the most significant heavy metal bands. They were formed by Steve Harris in East London. Iron Maiden's mascot is called Eddie (right), and apparently he brought them some criticism to be Satanists. Eddie's full name is by the way Eddie the 'Edd or Edward The Head, or even Edward The Great.
The band was initiated in 1975, and the first studio album, the self-titled Iron Maiden, came in 1980. I haven't yet been on Iron Maiden concert unfortunately, but I can see that some of the songs from this album are present in the set lists of almost all their stage performances - these are Running Free, Phantom Of The Opera, Iron Maiden and Sanctuary.
I think Phantom Of The Opera is exceptionally good one, also Transylvania, Remember Tomorrow and Charlotte The Harlot. Charlotte is a fictional prostitute who is mentioned in several other songs.
It is quite strange fact that many Iron Maiden fans tend to overlook the band's first albums. I personally find them really good and they are among favorites.
