Iron Maiden: a great band that have changed metal (for the better) and have inspired many other bands. Plus they have one of best mascots in music history.

Bands they've influenced include A7X, Trivium, Sum 41, 3 Inches Of Blood, Bullet For My Valentine
Those are some godawful bands right there. If it's true what you say about IM's influence on them then I almost want to vote 'no'.
But I can't because their albums through 1988 were such an important part of my life. Well, Somewhere in Time and 7th Son are pretty bad but I did like them as a kid and I can still easily listen to all of the previous albums. I can't say that I've even heard any of their music after that but I hope they didn't turn out as bad as, say Avenged Sevenfold. That would be such a sad ending for the once-great Iron Maiden..

Yes
