Unpopular Opinion
Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

Really, SIT? I'd say that Fear Of The Dark (EDIT: I spoke too quickly, add Piece Of Mind to that) is the only Maiden album that even comes close to Bruce's solo work. Which, to be fair, I'd say Fear Of The Dark could give any solo album except A Tyranny Of Souls a run for its money. But I'd say that even Accident Of Birth, the weakest of the solo albums, equals most Maiden albums in quality.
I tend to prefer vocal work in music more generally, though, so there's a definite bias there.
Yeah, if you only go by the quality of vocals, his solo stuff is nuts. I'm going by overall song crafting.
He just never managed to make songs that were as iconic on his own. Great songs, yes. But they never really hit that magic point where they're a cultural treasure the way Maiden could
