[The Dissident]

2 minutes to midnight
Revelations
Still life
To tame a land
Invaders
Gangland
Total eclipse

Honestly POM is incredibly overrated, only songs I listen to from it are The Trooper and Icarus.

I disagree, I think it's their 2nd best from the 80s after SIT.

SIT> Powerslave> NOTB>SSOASS>POM

 

[karljant]

Gangland (easily my 1st pick), Invaders (because of that awful chorus ... what a waste of great lines), The Prisoner (again the chorus... not as bad as Invaders' chorus but nevertheless unimaginative), Die With Your Boots On and 2 Minutes because of the other 3 Powerslave monuments.

Boots
Still Life
Tame
all of TNOTB except Children and Hallowed

 

[KidInTheDark666]

all of TNOTB except Children and Hallowed

Now this is ballsy!

 

[MrKnickerbocker]

Now this is ballsy!

The run of songs after Children are all great, up until the Gangland atrocity, but I rank them all the same and could care less which remains. Children and Hallowed are without a single doubt the best songs on the weakest album of the "Classic Era".

 

[Jer]

Flight Of Icarus
Die With Your Boots On
Still Life
To Tame A Land
Invaders
Children Of The Damned
22 Acacia Avenue
Gangland

...and because people are unnecessarily trying to take out 11:58, I’ll also downvote Aces High.

 

[Black Wizard]

I’ll also downvote Aces High.

There's no option to downvote, Jerald. This is not the song elimination thread.

 

[The Flash]

Invaders, Run to the Hills, Gangland, Total Eclipse

 

[Shmoolikipod]

Aces High
Where Eagles Dare
The Trooper
To Tame a Land
Invaders
Run to the Hills
Gangland.

Please don't hurt Total Eclipse. It's a good song. It has good lyrics. It's a unique piece in this discography. Please, at least eliminate Hills first...

 

[mckindog]

It’s no contender, but I love the energy and the Gatling gun bass on Invaders.
Takes too much abuse IMO.

 

[Black Wizard]

This is where things get brutal: trying to choose between the four juggernauts from 'Powerslave' and the entirety of 'The Number of the Beast' and 'Piece of Mind'.

 

[Dr. Eddies Wingman]

Invaders, 22AA, RTTH, Gangland, Total Eclipse. Let's get rid of the weaker half of NOTB before starting on the hard choices.

 

[Black Wizard]

RTTH, Total Eclipse.... weaker half of NOTB

 

[Dr. Eddies Wingman]

Come on. Children of the Damned, The Prisoner and the title track eats those for breakfast.

Hallowed is above and outside the discussion and a vote for it is a symptom of a serious brain haemorrhage.

 

[Black Wizard]

Come on. Children of the Danmed, The Prisoner and the title track eats those for breakfast.

The first two certainly take nibbles out, but the title track is overrated. You suffer from exposure bias because they always play it live. Sad!

Hallowed is above and outside the discussion and a vote for it is a symptom of a serious brain haemorrhage.

Well we can certainly agree on this.
