A prototypical heavy-metal band if ever there was one, Iron Maiden has all of the hallmarks of the genre and then some. Creepy mascot for every album cover? Check. Undeniably intense live shows featuring said larger-than-life mascot? Check. Three fret-shredding guitarists playing at once? Check.

The two-disc ESSENTIAL IRON MAIDEN takes listeners backwards (for the most part) down the shadowy path of the iconic British group's career, beginning with tracks from 2003's DANCE OF DEATH and 2000's BRAVE NEW WORLD, the album that reunited Maiden with its most beloved frontman, the mercurial Bruce Dickinson (after two records with replacement Blaze Bayley). By the end of the first disc, the compilation hits the classic mid-to-late-1980s lineup with "The Clairvoyant," one of the group's signature mini-epics. The second disc ventures further into vintage Maiden (including the majestic "Wasted Years" and the soaring "Aces High"), ending with the band's early era (with vocalist Paul Di'Anno) and a pair of potent live tracks. Although EDWARD THE GREAT is the best concise summary of the Dickinson years, this ESSENTIAL collection is ideal for those looking for a more complete Maiden overview.

5 stars Awesome collection from Metal's Greatest!!
This is an outstanding collection of some of the best songs Maiden ever wrote. They span the entire career, even including early songs with original singer, Paul D'Ano. Very cool! This is a good pick up for the most diehard Maiden fan, or someone who is just getting interested in them.

3 stars okay.........
What, they forgot to include Hallowed Be Thy Name, and Rime of the Ancient Mariner? I'm giving it 3 stars just because they 'included' some of the early 80's hits. This should've been called "The Essential Iron Maiden Tracks From The 90's On Up." Where is the boxed set?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?

This audio document of The Corrs' Dublin homecoming concert has pretty much everything fans of Irish pop could wish for, including an appearance from Bono in his earthly incarnation, fresh from an audience with President George W. Bush. It's to the band's credit that the charismatic singer fails to steal the show, despite creditable efforts via an anthemized version of Ryan Adams' beautifully downtempo "When the ...

This is a Hyper CD, which contains regular audio tracks and also provides a link to the artist's website with the help of a web browser.

HM followers do not tolerate a cissy, yet the hugely talented Angus Young has become something of a hero. His riff-laden ...

Essential Iron Maiden music CDs
CD $10.39  4.2 stars Top 500 Audio Samples Definitive Album
Hard-rock juggernauts Guns 'N' Roses arrived as rock & roll saviors in a dark time of generic hair metal and bloated pop. With only five studio albums to draw from (one being the all-covers SPAGHETTI INCIDENT), nearly a third of the material on GREATEST HITS is unsurprisingly devoted to other people's songs. Inclusions range from a dramatic version of Bob Dylan's "Knockin' On Heavens Door" and an outsized take on Paul McCartney's "Live and Let Die" to punk classic "Ain't It Fun" and doo-wop nugget "Since I Don't Have You." The band's ...

Triumph Of Steel
Manowar Triumph Of Steel CD  (1992)

Essential Iron Maiden music CDs
CD $8.39  4.2 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
With a 28-minute opening track, slightly expanded lyrical themes, and some of the best rhythmic onslaughts recorded by Manowar, The Triumph of Steel is perhaps the band's finest '90s offering. While never abandoning their myopic swords-and-sorcery themed power metal, Manowar had evolved musically during their first decade together and the music of this 1992 release benefits from what must have been countless hours woodshedding extreme musical figures. Tighter than a tumble-dried loin cloth, the standout track "Ride the Dragon" is an exceptionally fast number that signifies a commitment toward high-speed compositions on the part of bassist/songwriter Joey DeMaio. There is absolutely no subtlety or irony to Manowar or their cartoon metal, and many listeners will have trouble taking either seriously. Their credo, "death to false metal," and similar messages are constantly repeated, and unlike other comic ...

7 Weeks Live In America
Stryper 7 Weeks Live In America CD  (2004)

Essential Iron Maiden album
CD $13.69  4.7 stars Audio Samples
When Christian metallists Stryper packed it up in 1991, it appeared as though their audience had quickly vanished, as most rock fans shifted their attention to such other burgeoning styles as grunge and thrash. But during the group's absence over the ensuing decade, a large cult following developed, resulting in the chaps deciding to give it another shot by the early 21st century. In 2003 came their first extensive U.S. tour in ages, resulting in the arrival of their first-ever live set, 7 Weeks: Live in America 2003. Although Stryper's look may have changed (gone is all the hairspray, makeup, and hilarious yellow-and-black leather outfits), their anthems still retain their bombastic flair, especially evident in Michael Sweet's Dennis DeYoung-esque vocals. Most of the expected Stryper favorites are included here, including the rockers "Soldiers Under Command" and "Free," the power ballad "Honestly," and a track that falls somewhere in between, "Calling On You." A pretty darn solid set, although one fumble is spotted toward the end -- a metalized version of "Winter Wonderland" (somewhere, David St. Hubbins and Nigel Tufnel are green with envy). ~ Greg Prato Live Recording Audio Mixer: Kenny Lewis. Recording information: Albuquerque, NM (10/02/2003-11/19/2003); ...
