Iron Maiden
Probably the most successful heavy metal band in history, Iron Maiden have sold over a hundred million albums and influenced everything that followed them in the genre.
Not bad for a band who evolved from a meeting in a Leytonstone pub back in 1975. With a decade they would have reached levels of fame that metal bands could only previously dream of.
Following a blip in the late '90s, where they struggled to recapture the magic without Bruce Dickinson, he returned in 1999 and the Maiden are back at the top of the metal tree.

True Story - Bruce Dickinson bought my house. He turned up with his hair in a pony tail and looking very smart and clean cut. At the time I was a gawky 10-year-old but I recognised him alright. I didn't speak to him, but he offered to pay cash. Years later, when my Mum died, I went and lay in front of the house thinking about all the good times we had there. Someone (Bruce?) must have thought I was a mad fan because the police turned up and took me home. Anyway the man is a legend. A god.
