The three weakest IM tracks of the 80s?

[harrisdevot]

The lyrics are the worst ever.

Worst than Bring your Daughter ? Worst than Prowler ?

Worst than Bring your Daughter ? Worst than Prowler ?

Those are bad too yes.

 

[Vaenyr]

The worst lyrics belong to Tailgunner. There's a way of singing about atrocities in a musically "fun" song (see 2MTM). There's a way to try being sarcastic and cheeky, even if the topic is grim. Tailgunner is an utter failure on that front.

 

[Ascendingthethrone]

Charlotte the Harlot
Total Eclipse
Gangland

I wonder if they ever learnt why they had to climb into the sky?

Why is Quest gor Fire an obvious choice? Appart from the lyrics, this song is musically way better than Sun and Steel and Flight of Icarus, just to name two from the same album.

Nope.

My votes are for:

Charlotte the Harlot
Sheriff of Huddersfield
Black Bart Blues

Prowler features some cringeworthy lyrics, but the song rocks so hard that I can nearly forget them.

 

[Poto]

Charlotte the Harlot
Gangland
Total Eclipse

Maiden didn't release one bad song in the 80s on a studio album.
