Six!!! Six, Six!!! That's the theme of today's Top 3: The Number Of The Beast!

The Number Of The Beast is Iron Maiden's third studio album, and it celebrates its 36th anniversary today.

And despite everything, the sentence above doesn't even come close to capturing what this album represented for the history of music:

This is the first album with Bruce Dickinson on vocals for Iron Maiden.
The last with the immortal Clive Burr in Iron Maiden.
It's Iron Maiden's first album to reach #1 on the UK charts.
And it's the album that introduced us to anthems we'll never stop listening to, such as Children Of The Damned , The Prisoner , 22 Acacia Avenue , Run To The Hills , and The Number Of The Beast .

Oh, and as a bonus, there was "Hallowed Be Thy Name"

Thank you, Iron Maiden.
