I never liked Maiden "back in the day"; I was too cool for all that  
Spandex! :)

However, Dickinson's _The Chemical Wedding_ solo album totally blew  
me away when someone finally forced me down in order to play it to  
me.  It still took me several years after that to kind of warm up to  
Maiden, but now I kinda dig them -- though, bizarrely, I tend to like  
their recent material more than the "classic" stuff from the 80s  
(maybe the Spandex is still bugging me! ;).

Cheers,
Carl
