Bruce Dickinson

pick your personal fave...

i guess mine is The Chemical Wedding, although i loved Balls To Picasso too.

Tattooed Millionaire and Accident of Birth

The Chemical Wedding closely followed by Accident Of Birth and Tyranny Of Souls.

The chemical wedding, all the way.

Accident and Tyranny were both excellent albums as well.
didn't really like his earlier stuff

The Chemical Wedding

Accident of Birth

None of the above really. I cannot get into his solo stuff. If threatened bodily harm I would say Accident Of Birth only because I saw him live on that tour and only because Adrian played on the album and did the tour.

I believe Adrian played on Chemical Wedding as well.

Who are the other 2 people that picked tatooed millionaire?

Tattooed Millionaire, it's more a hard rock album then your usual Iron Maiden album which is good because Bruce has a good voice for that kind of music. My fav track would be his Mott the Hoople/David Bowie cover of All The Young Dudes.

I voted for Accident of Birth because that's the only one I own other than his double-disc "greatest hits" compilation. I do plan on getting more of his solo works. Eventually.

I love this song. It's really catchy!

I really can't stand his solo stuff either and find it to be a huge step down from the songwriting quality of Iron Maiden.

His solo career is just more proof that songwriting is more important than vocal talent IMHO.

It's cool. It let him sing some of his early influences like Mott the Hoople and get away from the monotony of maiden for awhile. I'm not saying it's better just a bit refreshing to hear him sing some stripped down rock n roll for a change.

Crap, I voted wrong. Was going to vote for Accident of Birth, but the mouse stopped over Chemical Wedding. Could just as easily have been Tattooed Millionaire though.

I didn't immediately get into his solo stuff for that reason. At the time, all I wanted was Bruce in Maiden. I used to think that solo albums were just an ego thing for guys suffering from "Lead Singers Disease". When I picked up the compilation cd, however, I realized I was wrong.

The Chemical Wedding followed by Accident Of Birth. Other than those 2, don't really care for any of the others.

Accident of Birth! that is an amazing album that easily could be done with Iron Maiden because of the quality of the music. I love Man of Sorrows, Dark side of Aquarius and Arc of space.

I picked Balls To Picasso. I haven't heard it in a long time, but always loved the tracks "Cyclops" and "Tears Of The Dragon".

My second pick would be Accident Of Birth.

...special mention to Skunkworks which I actually really liked, even though I was one of the very few it seems.

I love 'Chemical Wedding' features some of Bruce Dickinson best songwriting and singing. Not a bum track on the album.

Tough - probably Accident Of Birth, but the only one I don't really like is skunkworks

ACCIDENT OF BIRTH by a mile. Blaze Bayley didn't know it at the time, but his days in Iron Maiden were numbered as soon as Bruce released that album.

Bingo!!! Look what happened when Adrian and Bruce put out an album together!!! I prefer to think of this one as Iron Maiden's 11th studio album! And Chemical Weddind as Maiden's 10th.

Accident Of Birth
