Iron Maiden's 'Beast' named best British album of past 60 years Maiden's 1982 album The Number of the Beast has been named the best British album of the past 60 years in a new poll. The heavy metal band's third studio effort beat off competition from Depeche Mode's Violator and The Beatles' Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, who landed at two and three respectively. Get in!! Run to the hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiilllssssssss, Run for your liiiiiiiiiiiiiife!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I used to live next door to Iron Maiden at number 668, I was the neighbour of the beast.
Agreed. The Beatles - Absolute ****ing tripe. Depeche Mode - Apparently the guy from them isn't gay Iron Maiden - Had it's time, now that time is past.
Iron Maiden have produced some really good albums recently, as it happens. The poll was conducted by HMV. This was the top 10: 1. Iron Maiden – 'The Number Of The Beast' 2. Depeche Mode – 'Violator' 3. The Beatles – 'Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band'? 4. The Beatles – 'Abbey Road' 5. Pink Floyd – 'The Dark Side Of The Moon' 6. The Beatles – 'Revolver'? 7. Queen - 'A Night At The Opera' 8. Oasis – '(What’s the Story) Morning Glory?' 9. Adele - '21' 10. The Beatles – 'White Album'
Two things: 1. Oasis 2. I bet half the ****s who voted don't even own a copy of the album(s) they voted for.
The levels of taste and decency shown by the UK public in recent years is abysmal. 4 Beatles albums? Clueless ****s.
Agreed, a load of ****ing ****e. George Harrison had talent (wasted) the other three are pointless ****s with ****e music.
Where the **** is Led Zeppelin IV, Deep Purple -Machine Head. All the while Adele and Oasis get in , nothing from the Stones also? Dark Side of the Moon should be higher
This is what happens when you survey people who would answer survey questions. <Catch22> Fucking hate The Beatles. Helter Skelter is a magic tune the rest is utter fartwater.
I'll give you a top three British mainstream: 1. Bowie - The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars 2. The Kinks - Village Green Preservation Society 3. Bowie - Scary Monsters
