Both excellent albums but I have to go with Piece of Mind.

Trooper, Revelations and Flight of Icarus are their best three songs.

Number of the Beast has the title track, Hallowed Be Thy Name, (my favorite song of their's) Children of the Damned and 22 Acacia Avenue. It also has crowd favorite Run to the Hills, though I've never been as big a fan of that one.

Piece of Mind has The Trooper, Die With Your Boots On, Flight of Icarus and Where Eagles Dare and really only The Trooper of those is as strong as what's on NOTB. So it's really not a contest. Only Live After Death competes with Number of the Beast for me with Maiden records.

If maiden had a top 40 song it would be this.

Number of the Beast

Piece of Mind has some bangers but I prefer the entire NotB album. Only bad track is Gangland.
Underrated track (basically the title track) on PoM is Still Life

As far as Maiden full albums go, I have Seventh Son over Piece of Mind

Yeah it’s close, but I’m gonna have to go with Number of the Beast.

Beast. I think it's just so perfect. Piece has the only Maiden song I refuse to ever listen to - Die with Your Boots On. I really just think it's terrible. I think there are a few weaker deep cuts on Piece also (Quest for Fire, Sun and Steel - I mean, I still love them, but they aren't in the same league as the classics).

Beast has at least 4 absolute classics: Beast, Children, Hills and Hallowed. I would also maybe add 22 and Prisoner.

Piece has: Revelations, Trooper and Icarus - a murderer's row of its own.

Just think about how the next 3 are Powerslave, Time and 7th. It's a run that was unbelievable.

Damn good question.
I want to go with POM, as it's the first Maiden album I owned, but NOTB is so freaking classic.
I will go on record as saying that "Where Eagles Dare" is one of the greatest opening tracks of all time.
But "Invaders" is pretty badass too..

Number of the Beast. That album was huge. Just as big as AC/DC's Back in Black and similar with the new singer coming on.

Of those two I’ll go Number Of The Beast although it’s damn close in my mind.

Piece of Mind.

Still Life is way underrated.
