@ChristIsKing I get you, man. I had a similar story. I started with Metallica a few years back--I think Four Horsemen, Master of Puppers, Seek and Destroy were some of my earliest memories before delving into all their stuff--and hearing the infamous story about Dave got me into Megadeth shortly after. Killing is My Business was a slow burner, took me a while to come round to that one because it's very raw and aggressive, but initially Peace Sells made me a fan with its technicality. These days, my all-time favorite Megadeth records (I've only heard the ones they did in the 80s and 90s, nothing yet post 2000) are Cryptic Writings, So Far So Good So What, Rust in Peace, Youthanasia, Countdown to Extinction, mostly in that order lol but I love just about everything I've heard of them. Risk is criminally underrated. May not be their most defining work, but experimenting and being different was kind of the point of that album, and it's good just different. With Pantera I started with Cowboys, when I went deep diving into their albums, but I think my first song was probably Mouth For War, since that's the song in Doom E3M1. If you listen some of Pantera's earlier 80s works, whose existence is unacknowledged officially but an open secret to most metalheads--the guitar style is very indicative of Van Halen-esque shreddery and piercing, Rob Halford-esque vocals. In short, they're like just about every other good 80s metal band. A lot of that 80s flavor is indicative on Cowboys, since the material was written '88-'89, but you get hints of the heavier style that would be cemented in Vulgar and beyond. Maiden in many ways wrote the guidebook for so many metal bands like Metallica, particularly when it comes to their signature dual guitar harmonies (although I seriously doubt they invented the idea, but they certainly helped popularize it and inspire others). I don't know what your introduction to the band was, but I started with the self-titled debut and the followup Killers, both of which feature Paul DiAnno on vocals. He has more of an edgier, almost punk persona whereas the more famous Bruce Dickinson is thoroughly a showman, with more commercial appeal. See some of those live shows and you know what I mean. I also felt that his singing style was more reminiscent of Halford. Anyway, most people point to songs like "The Trooper" and "Hallowed Be Thy Name" as goto staples, but personally I felt Killers was a great album, better than Piece of Mind, which I actually hated at first. I do agree there is something of a hero/worship status with some of these bands, and Maiden is a huge example of this. It's the same reason I found it impossible to like the Beatles for a good long while, until I finally evicted whatever residual bias existed towards these supergroups and listened to the records for myself, with an open mind. Even if I didn't immediately think everything they did was brilliant, I certainly couldn't deny I liked them a good deal, and I liked them more and more with each successive listen. The introduction of Dickinson felt like such a stark change to the band that I didn't like it at first, but he won me over eventually. Right now, of the four albums I've listened to, my favorites are Killers and Number of the Beast. TL; DR You have to learn, or rather, I had to learn to tune out what anybody else says or thinks about something. It's impossible to fairly judge a work or a group if somebody else's notions of it, positive or negative, have any substance in your mind. Don't go in assuming it must be great and therefore live up to these impossible expectations or conversely assume it must be terrible either. Just treat it like any other no name band if you're hearing it for the first time, and give it a fair chance to prove itself to you.
