Did any of the songs from The Book Of Souls enter your top 10 maiden songs list?

That's pretty good if nine songs off of every album stand the test of time. Not sure how that works out with Virtual XI, though...

I disagree with good Gk1 - every Maiden song ever stands the test of time.

Except More Tea Vicar. Fuck that shit!

Sorry mate,my bad. I meant nOne.

 

[SirRobbins]

The Man of Sorrows did. Something about that song just grabs me. It's phenomenal

 

[chaosapiant]

Book of Souls is tied for my favorite album along with 7th son, and the title track is probably my second all time fave Maiden song behind Starblind.

 

[Kalata]

Shadows Of The Valley could be a contender for me.

edit: let's not forget Empire.

Well, since I wasn't a member of this site when the album was released, I've got the unfair advantage of 3 years of listening time to form an opinion.

The Red And The Black, The Great Unknown, and If Eternity Should Fail are all in my top ten, and are included in any Maiden playlist I make.

Death Or Glory and When The River Runs Deep are on the fringe of that list.

Additionally, TBOS is firmly entrenched in my top 5 Maiden albums, the first new entry in probably 20 years.

 

[Diesel 11]

No Empire.

 

[Kalata]

No Empire.

Actually, I considered to add EOTC to my top 10 list, but dropped out at the last minute...... well, everything can happen, so who knows....

 

[Operations666]

The live versions of The Red and the Black and The Great Unknown are close to top 10 territory for me.

 

[KidInTheDark666]

Nope. TRATB, Empire and Death or Glory make it to my top 30.

 

[Wogmidget]

Yep, Empire is my #2

 

[Diesel 11]

Yep, Empire is my #2

Holy shit. So much win.

 

[Wogmidget]

Holy shit. So much win.

Finally, something we can agree on

 

[bornless1]

Niet. Bottom ten? Yes. Tratb and eternity are bottom ten. Speed of light and the great unknown are highest in the 35/40 range..

 

[karljant]

Nope. And as far as my top 25 to 30 songs only the excellent title track makes the cut.

 

[Mosh]

I guess I never posted in here since the thread opened 10 years ago. The title track is likely in there, potentially If Eternity Should Fail. Those have held up as Maiden all timers.

 

[el diablo]

1st time seeing this thread. I made a Top 20 and managed to narrow it down to a Top 15.

The Red and the Black made the cut.

Which is amazing to say about a song where I think the 1st 4:30 stinks. It should have been an instrumental. But the non-vocal parts are just that gloriously triumphant.

I also like The Great Unknown more than most IM fans seem to and think the title track rocks as well.

 

[MindRuler]

No. Not even Top 30.

 

[Vaenyr]

Yup, the title track!

Probably not my top 10, more like top 15-20, but I agree with this take. Well, these two + the instrumental part of TRATB.
