Thanks!

I like "Piece of Mind" much better than "Number," and "Powerslave" is easily my favorite Maiden album. It is were Smith and Murray really perfect that duel guitar attack sound, and all the instrumentation really snycs with Dickenson's vocals. If I'm not mistaken, I think Dickenson played a large role as a song writer on "Powerslave," which would make sense as to why his vocals match the music so well on that album.

Definitey going to check out the NWOBHM thread, thanks.
