Iron Maiden songs that you flat out dislike?

[Lamia020281]

Understandable, naive Arry.
No Phantom in your top 5?

I was kind of scared this might come up. For some strange reason, Phantom doesn't work for me. It's got good melodies, ok lyrics and everything, but I'm just not into it. I don't know why. There's clearly something wrong with me, though looking at my Top 5s it's plain to see anyway. By the way, my Top 5s are based only on whether I love the song. If I made lists based on artistic merit, I would choose different songs.

Sorry, I didn't mean to.

Sorry, I didn't mean to.

No worries, it's better that I'm honest about it, so now you know!

 

[Black Bart]

Prodigal Son (surprise!)

Hardly, but for a handful of originals out here.

You’re not strange, you’re enlightened. And the fact that “Prodigal Son” is in your top 5 Di’anno songs proves that you have refined taste indeed.

Don’t drink the kool-aid — “Phantom Of The Opera” really is mediocre!

Debate.

Actually, "Phantom" is a great song... for the Di'Anno period.

Fixed.

Hey, 7's nothing to sneeze at.

Virus is the song that should not be. It is absolutely detestable.

Gangland is horrible
2am
Como
Invader

And then pretty much everything on virtual x1 and x factor. Most of fear of the dark.

Very unpopular opinion.

[KidInTheDark666]

I'm pretty sure that it's one of the more popular tracks from the Blaze era among hardcore fans. I could be wrong too.

I think it's pretty famous because of its status; I dunno how popular it is though.

 

[Number 6]

No. I've met very few people who flat out dislike "Virus".

 

[Jer]

No. I've met very few people who flat out dislike "Virus".

So in other words, it would be a very unpopular opinion from your personal perspective. One might even say...for you.

 

[Diesel 11]

Fuck kind of drugs are you using, the post wasn’t about whether the song is good or not or whether the opinion is right or not

It’s.

About.

Whether.

Or.

Not.

Virus.

Is.

A.

Popular.

Blaze.

Song.

Among.

Fans.

 

[Mosh]

Virus is awful. Its popularity blows my mind.

Virus rips off the main riff in 'Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner' and the middle of 'The Aftermath'.

Its bleating goat chorus is an entirely original invention, however.
