Epic bias! Seventh Son is a great song but feels unfinished, the ending is pretty anticlimactic. Wasted Years and Evil That Men Do are both very well put together Metal classics. Awesome riffs, hooks, and choruses. Also two of Adrian's absolute best solos, they blow all the solos on SSOASS out of the water.

H has some some other great solos aswell (SIASL plus others), but surely let's only keep talking on these songs that are in the poll.
 
Anticlimactic? SSOASS' ending might be my favorite Maiden moment of all-time. The few ending minutes are literally the reason why I hold it in such high esteem, I am less fond of the verses and the mid-section.

Ok but they did change it live sometimes to a better ending, with a chord that ends the song on "tension". Donington '88 version I routinely post.
 
Also TETMD over Seventh Son...The song might be catchy and gallopy but it's also their approach to glam of the heyday. Even the promo is shot in L.A. Picking it over this pure heavy metal masterpiece is insane.
 
On the contrary, I definitely don't see Evil as a top ten song when you look at the whole discography. It's just the only song in its class left with the current selection.
