Iron Maiden

Iron Maiden is one of the most famous metal bands of all time. Their extreme and wild style helped pioneer the "power metal" genre. They came about during the "stadium rock" craze of the eighties when albums gave way to hard, powerful music that could be performed live. This contributed to their sheer fame. They helped pioneer concert metal. Their style was also pioneered by Dio. They have been considered for the Hall of Fame before, but not inducted. This is a shame.
