Piece of Mind is my favorite because I heard it when it was new and it's also when I discovered Iron Maiden for the first time so it has a lot of memories connected to it for me.

Seems everyone agrees Virtual XI is their worst album. There are a few good songs on there, but most are overly long for no reason and the production is terrible. Although still better than many other bands' best work.

That's based on my favorites songs of the band and how much I keeped from each album in my personnal library. I must admit though it's been a very long time since I didn't listen for the full albums #11 to #16 - like, 10 years. So my taste could have evolved a little and I should give it a try !
