All of them are excellent (with the exception of Brave New World...and Virtual XI and the X-Factor need time to grow on you).

But the albums I'd recommend for an introduction are:

Powerslave
The Number of the Beast
Piece of Mind
Anything with "Fear of the Dark" live on it
Fear of the Dark
Killers
Seventh Son of a Seventh Son
No Prayer for the Dying
Iron Maiden

In that order.
