Odd a choice as it may be, what's the best way to get into Iron Maiden? I've heard a few of their songs on my friends' mix CD's, like # of the beast, Run to the Hills, 2 Minutes to Midnight and the like. I'd really like to insert them into my collection, but they've got quite a few albums, many of which are recommended to me as THE BEST, and I just don't know where to start. As background, my metal tastes aren't particularly narrow, I like Black Sabbath, the Big 4 of thrash ('Tallica, Megadeth, Slayer and Anthrax), Ozzy, Pantera, the occasional Dimmu Borgir and Cannibal Corpse track... you get the idea. I also sometimes like to just mellow out with most of the standard 60's/70's bands: Frampton, Led Zep, Pink Floyd, AC/DC, Beatles, Deep Purple, Van Halen, etc. Fake Edit: Now that I think of it, what's a good route to get into Jimi Hendrix on a level beyond "HAY DOOD PURPLE HAZE, ALL ALONG THE WATCHTOWER AN VOODOO CHILD ROOOOOOCKKKKK!!!"?

Testament's first 3 albums are classic metal albums, and Low is one of the best mid 90s metal albums I've heard. Expanding musical horizons? Awesome. ![]() quote:Any of his few solo albums. Is it uncool to you for me to recommend my favourite Jimi Hendrix song, The Wind Cries Mary, which was featured on rock band or guitar hero recently? Since I'm assuming thats what you mean by "hay dood". And no, it's not uncool at all, Hendrix fans know what's awesome, so I'll trust those hints. He's so influential for so many artists, I guess I overlooked the fact that he only released three studio albums in his life.
