I'm surprised Afraid to Shoot Strangers & Still Life don't have higher numbers. Those songs are amazing.

Very tough and changes day to day with a few exceptions. (My top 3 never change.) I can easily add any AMOLAD track or BNW. And I just had to remove the song SSOASS because I realized I didn't put Powerslave. :O So yeah. SSOASS is definitely up there somewhere.

Killers for me. I love the way the intro builds then the song ramps it up and just punches you hard in the face. The first time I saw the band live I was transfixed by Steve and Bruce leaping round the stage, and by the special effects with Eddie, but as soon as Killers came on I forgot all the goings on and got down to some serious headbanging.

It's probably one of the most underrated Maiden songs too. Give it a listen if you don't' believe me.
