(Wanted to go with The Book Of Souls originally, but the acoustic in that one is really only setting the stage for the rest of the song)

The history of warfare:

336 BC-323 BC: Alexander the Great (his conquests)
1854: The Trooper (the Charge of the Light Brigade)
1917: Paschendale (the Third Battle of Ypres)
1940: Aces High (the Battle of Britain)
1991: Afraid to Shoot Strangers (Operation Desert Storm)
 
Alexander
The Trooper
Aces High
Afraid to Shoot Strangers
Paschendale


What a cruel face-off, Diesel! Placing Paschendale far down any list is a self-influcted gut punch.

Sanctuary
Running Free
Wrathchild
The Pilgrim
The Alchemist
 
Tough one! Wrathchild might be "objectively" more punchy and powerful song with an immense legacy, but from a purely subjective perspective, I tend to prefer The Pilgrim, simply due to more personal significance & association. Sanctuary is fun, but doesn't really do much for me. I kind of like The Alchemist a lot as what it could be, but as it is, it's bit lackluster. Having really enjoeyd the "crowd party" element of the song whenever I've heard Running Free live probably gives it some extra edge.
