:? Such a hard decision. The '90s definitely weren't the best, but between the other two, it's very hard to say. I have to go with the '80s, though, because they put out the most records in that decade and so many classic songs were forged.
Man, the 80's for sure. Some DiAnno action, Clive was around for a spell, Nicko's debut on Piece of Mind, the day God decided to decent from heaven and take the form of Bruce Dickinson... so many great songs and awesome albums, too. Although there were a couple albums that were not up to what I would call a Maiden standard. Just as well, though. To the 80s!
