London, United Kingdom (1975 – present)
There are two bands called Iron Maiden: 1. The new wave of british heavy metal band with Steve Harris. 2. the british 60s progressive rock/proto doom band later renamed The Bolton Iron Maiden.
1) Iron Maiden is a New Wave of British Heavy Metal band. Formed in London in 1975 by bassist Steve Harris, they are one of the most successful and influential bands in the heavy metal genre, selling over 100 million albums worldwide. Iron Maiden has so far released fourteen studio albums, four “best of” compilations, eight live albums and four limited boxed-sets. They won the Ivor Novello Award for international achievement in 2000.
The band has changed their line-up several times up to 1999 when Bruce Dickinson and Adrian Smith returned to the band. Their current line-up is:
Steve Harris (1975-): Bass
David Michael Murray (1975-): Guitar
Bruce Dickinson (1981-1993 1999-): Vocals (see also Bruce Dickinson, Samson)
Nicko McBrain (1983-): Drums (see also Trust)
Janick Gers (1990-): Guitar (see also Bruce Dickinson, White Spirit)
Adrian Smith (1980-1990 1999-): Guitar (see also Bruce Dickinson and Psycho Motel)
Iron Maiden’s work has inspired other sub-genres of heavy metal, including power metal and speed metal, and is generally thought of as an influence to any “metal” music containing dual-guitar harmonization. One example of their far reaching influence is that many bands from virtually every rock and metal sub-genre list Iron Maiden as one of their influences.
Iron Maiden’s mascot, Eddie, is a perennial fixture in the band’s horror-influenced album cover art, as well as in live shows. Eddie was originally drawn by Derek Riggs but has had various incarnations by Melvyn Grant. Eddie is also featured in a first-person shooter video game, Ed Hunter.

The first 2 albums are my favorites, the Blaze era was good too, i think their 3 latest albums with Bruce are better than the ones in the 80's

Well, I like them all. Di'anno had character and fits the early, more punk type records, Dickinson is simply the best front man ever, and with Blaze they made two friggin' great albums.
