My Favourite Album with Garrow Hill

What is the album?

Seventh Son of a Seventh Son - Iron Maiden

Why is it your favourite album?

It’s Iron Maiden at the absolute peak of their powers, the artwork is amazing and there isn’t a bad song on there! It’s also a brilliant album to listen to in one uninterrupted session. It’s a weird semi-concept album but we love the idea of a unifying theme that a group of songs can sit under to tell a cohesive story.

How does it make you feel when you listen to it?

Nostalgic! We used to listen to this when we were school kids - particularly during winter, which tied in with the artwork theme and created some pretty strong memories and connections to this album.

How do you feel when you hear the songs from that album played live?

They’re amazing to hear and watch live. The Maiden England live dvd in particular has some brilliant performances of most of the songs off the album.

What is your favourite track and why?

Stew: For me, it has to be Infinite Dreams. It’s just such a well crafted song that really takes you on a journey and the lyrics are great. Some of the best dual guitar work from Dave Murray and Adrian Smith as well!

PG Branton: They’re all great songs in their own right. Not perhaps the favourite but Can I Play With Madness strikes a vivid memory for me.

It was on a compilation cassette tape called Monster Hits and I played the arse out that piece of tape until I actually bought the album. Little did I know then that this was the beginning. A 13 year old kid opening up the world of maiden!!
