If you don't like them that is fair enough but overrated? not a chance. They have earned every accolade bestowed upon them.

fair enough.
but.
from my experience, nowadays they only have 2 types of fans - their old fans from the 80s and kids that only listen to them because they thing that Iron Maiden is what you should listen if you want to be a metalhead. they grow out of it very quickly.
and no hit singles? then, what do you call rainmaker?
