They replaced him with Samson's operatic frontman Bruce Dickinson, who is blessed with a pitch-perfect four-octave vocal range. He took Iron Maiden to a whole new level in 1982 with the release of The Number Of The Beast, one of the greatest heavy metal albums of all time. Pink Floyd started out as a psychedelic outfit fronted by flower child Syd Barrett. Although their debut The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn is regarded as a classic, its music is deeply rooted in the 1960s.
