This is the first year where I am not really a fan of either of the final two albums.  But the Dio album has a couple of songs I kinda like, so that got my vote.

Piece of Mind is one of my least favorite Maiden-albums (out of the classics at least), and I don't care for Dio.
Meh.

HOLY DIVER!

Despite a few great songs Piece is my least favorite of the classic Maiden run.

Dio?   Iron Maiden (again)?  Wow! 

I'm writing in Yes - 90125 in defiance.

Yep. I think the only party in the MP/DT situation that hasn't moved on is DTF.

Voted for the Great Man, the Legend, RJD. My least favourite of his first four but a great album all the same. And the voice.

Peace of Mind is better than Holy Diver by quite some difference. 

I mean, remove Revelations and To Tame A Land, and then it might be a fair comparison.
