Songs which you feel can fit into other albums

In case of a band like Iron Maiden, which has never compromised with their signature sound and yet each record has its own identity, often there are songs spread across their discography that have an unmistakable vibe that makes you feel they could easily fit into their another as well!

I will start. The intro in the song Fear Is The Key (from Fear Of The Dark) has an eerie individuality that it can ALMOST fit into Senjutsu like a glove, in my opinion.


Also, I have always felt the song Stratego (from Senjutsu) just got that Piece Of Mind-level urgency in it, specially in the instrumentals.


I know a lot of songs from Virtual XI has got that Brave New world feel in them due to being from the same sessions and The X Factor can also be considered a blueprint for re-union Maiden, so I won't be surprised if you find any similarities with A Matter Of Life and Death or any other re-union albums.
 
Ok, let's see:

Stratego - DOD
Lost In A Lost World - TXF
Days Of Future Past - TBOS
Speed Of Light - TFF
The Great Unknown - AMOLAD
Shadow Of The Valley - AMOLAD
El Dorado - TBOS
Mother Of Mercy - AMOLAD
Coming Home - AMOLAD
The Alchemist - DOD
When The Wild Wind Blows - VXI
Different World - DOD
The Legacy - DOD
Rainmaker - BNW
No More Lies - VXI
Gates Of Tomorrow - FOTD
Paschendale - AMOLAD
Mercenary/Dream Of Mirrors/Nomad/Blood Brothers - VXI
Lightning Strikes Twice/Educated Fool - TXF
Lord Of The Flies - FOTD
Afraid To Shoot Strangers - TXF
Fugitive/Chains Of Misery/Weekend Warrior - NPFTD
Holy Smoke/Public Enema Number One/Bring Your Daughter - FOTD
Fates Warning - SSOASS
Run Silent Run Deep - POM

For the 80's albums it is more difficult to say, but:

Losfer Words/Back In The Village - POM
Sun And Steel - Powerslave
Invaders/Gangland - Killers
Children Of The Damned/22 Acacia Avenue - POM
Wrathchild/Purgatory/Drifter - IM
Murders - TNOTB
and I guess every song on the debut can be on Killers

Agreed. SJ and let's call them ''ancient melodies'' is a recognizable feature.

Yeah, Stratego and Days Of Future Past can sound both classic and modern Maiden.

I think Judas Be My Guide would have been great on SSOASS.. To me it sounds like a track Adrian would have sounded incredible on..
 
Yeah, I've said that about Wild Wind before. Completely agree with that take. Blood Brothers to VXI as well for me.
