OK, so the list is lenghier than usual.
Three reasons why I made this poll:
1. We have not had a best of/worst of poll in a while.
2. This is my first poll and I thought about it for a while before deciding on this one.
3. The increasing collaboration between those three Maiden members is helping the overall sound of the band. This poll is meant to honour them. (... and this is the best I could do. )
You may change your vote if you decide to do so. As always, please include why you prefer the song you do.
I choose 'Die with Your Boots On' because:
1. It is a fast rocker.
2. I like the fast repetitions that Bruce does with the chorus.
3. Out of all the songs on the list, I enjoyed this one in concert the most.
4. Recently, I have voted this song to be #1 for 'Piece of Mind' album. No other song here was #1 for an album, in my opinion.
5. I like the way the guitars move along with the bass and drums. I can't quite explain it, but it seems like each instrument contributes to the whole, as opposed to each instrument doing their own thing.
6. I like the guitars.
7. I love air drumming Nicko's parts that separate time changes during the instrumental sections.
EDIT: OK, who voted for 'The Longest Day' without explaining? Don't make me remove the vote. (I'm kidding, but I'm not).
