Aces High and Two Minutes to Midnight. 2 of the bands finest moments wrapped in a 10 minute frenzy of pure headbanging madness. Does it get any better than that?
 
Meh, tough choices. Went for Different World/These Colours Don't Run because I'm more in the mood for the newer stuff. But Mooonchild/Infinite Dreams close second and Aces High/2 Minutes to Midnight close third.
 
A Natalie sighting! :blink:

The obviously correct answer is Moonchild - Infinite Dreams. There's a few other strong cadidates, led by Eagles-Revelations and Wicker Man-Ghost. But not strong enough.
 
  This very interesting..I went with Powerslave.  Aces and 2 minutes together is unbeatable.  Although I feel ssoass and piece are right there.  Also Invaders hard ending followed by the flowing intro guitar of children OTD is magic. 
 
Come on guys!  What's with all the Powerslave love?  Aces High is in my top five Maiden tunes, but 2 Minutes always felt a little weak for a single to me.

I thought the obviously correct answer was Moonchild-Infinite Dreams, but that's not what the poll says.
 
God, there's so many good one-two openers! I found it really hard to pick. I was about to go with Aces High/2 Minutes to Midnight, but I went with Moonchild/Infinite Dreams. Not far behind would be Where Eagles Dare/Revelations.
