So whats say we keep it to nore more than 10, no less than 5 of your favorite songs, songs that really get you passionate about them, Maiden, etc., since the return of Bruce D. on "Brave New World".  My faves.......
1) Montsegur - Awsome!  Heavy! And smart, clever and to the point.... puts me 'in the mind of' "Piece of Mind" era material (my favorite I.M. album)
2) The Nomad - Great riff, very heavy and just oozes classic "Powerslave" type sound and feel... almost "...Mariner" in it's long structure that contains a very melow mooded middle part... classic Maiden metal ebb and flow with lots metal grandeur and power!
3) Brighter Than A Thousand Suns - Talk about setting the mood and then building to a well deserved finish!.... epic and brilliant!
4) The Legacy - If you like classic long-form Maiden metal, with all the goodies that entails, then "The Legacy" is akin to a big fat overstuffed Halloween bag full of sweet treats that, in this case, won't rot your teeth out..... but maybe your mind???  Who doesn't like delicate acoutic lines fused with fat, lazy power chords followed by the devasting bass and drums of Mr's Harris and McBrain?
5) Paschendale - Get the lyrics in front of you and crank it up!  What a powerful, passionate dissertation of super powered soaring metal!  Maiden pulled no punches in this war-themed, story telling masterpiece!
6-10: Honorable Mention (love these songs too!) - The Mercenary, New Fontier, Isle of Avalon, The Final Frontier, El Dorado,  The Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg, Lord of Light..  (well, that's 12... sorry...UP THE IRONS!!!!)
 
Blood Brothers, Dream of Mirrors, Dance of Death, Paschendale and Brighter Than a Thousand Suns
 
When the Wild Wind Blows, Paschendale, The Longest Day, These Colours Don't Run, and Brave New World — all among my current best-ever Maiden top 10.

The chorus is great - it's powerful, catchy and one of my favorite choruses of the modern IM era - but the rest of the song doesn't quite measure up.

Funny, because I'm the opposite. I do find the verses and the instrumental part tight and powerful.
It's the chorus I don't like.
Kinda, I don't know... screechy maybe?

I think today, Starblind just became my #1 Maiden song, ever.  :blink:

Wow.

Although it's easily a Top 15 Maiden song for me, so I'm not exactly surprised that someone would feel this way.
 
Starblind really scared me when I first really got it. But it's still not better than Paschendale.
 
Only one mention of The Legacy this far? Come on, what's wrong with you people?

My top two songs from each album:

BNW: Ghost of the Navigatur, Blood Brothers
DoD: Dance of Death, Paschendale
AMOLAD: Brighter Than A Thousand Suns, The Legacy
TFF: Starblind, Coming Home

BNW: Ghost of the navigator, Dream of mirrors, brave new world, TTLBLAH
DoD: Dane of death, no more lies, paschendale
AMOLAD: BTATS, TCDR, The legacy


The second half of the legacy is one of maidens finest moments.  The first half is plain boring.
 
Some people give me lots of crap because I like 21st century, 3-guitar Maiden better than old Maiden. Thus, limiting this to just 10 tracks is really hard...

Ghost of the Navigator
Brave New World
Blood Brothers
The Thin Line Between Love and Hate
Rainmaker
Dance of Death
Paschendale
Brighter Than a Thousand Suns
Starblind
The Talisman
 
I'm with you, DB!

Ghost of the Navigator
Brave New World
Dream of Mirrors
The Nomad
Paschendale
These Colours Don't Run
Brighter Than A Thousand Suns
Isle of Avalon
Starblind
