[Brigantium]

I'm sure someone voted for it before.

Rime, CSIT, Wasted, Sign.

 

[The Flash]

Eagles
CSIT
Wasted

Rest of the songs are all Top 20 for me. These three just barely miss it.

 

[Unknown One]

Noooooo, not CSIT

 

[Black Wizard]

Phantom of the Opera
Caught Somewhere in Time
Infinite Dreams
Seventh Son of a Seventh Son
Brighter Than a Thousand Suns

 

[Whooten]

Paschendale, 1000 Suns, Cross

 

[Saapanael]

Phantom
Children
Eagles
Dance
Paschendale
Brighter

It's a fucking travesty that people vote for Brighter Than a Thousand Suns and Paschendale before disposing of Where Eagles Dare.

 

[Brigantium]

I was about to click 'like' there, but I like WED too. Not much of my top ten is left now.

I've been aiming at WED for rounds now, but it just keeps clinging on...

Can we just say Powerslave is the best Maiden song and let everything else fight out for 2nd place? Cause I'm never gonna vote for it.

NO!

I would rather listen to Where Eagles Dare 10 times in a row than 1000 Suns or Paschedale once. And Where Eagles Dare is only my 6th or 7th favorite song on Piece of Mind. The drum into and opening riffs have more energy, excitement and better execution (and production!) than most post-1988 songs. Yes, the instrumental section is repetitive and drags, but it pales in comparison to how most 6+ minute post-reunion songs slow the passage of time. Paschendale and Brighter Than a Thousands Sons are prime examples of this.

 

[Saapanael]

My opinion:

Paschendale > Where Eagles Dare > Brighter than a Thousand Suns

But I voted for all 3.

 

[Black Wizard]

'Where Eagles Dare' is one of my very favourite Iron Maiden songs.

OK. I think Where Eagles Dare is a classic attempt of trying to do too much too fast. Yeah, Nick can drum, but that's all it does. It's a scramble otherwise. Give me a set-piece song over a wild attack any day.

 

[Mosh]

Where Eagles Dare is awesome.

However BTATS and Paschendale are on another level.

I voted for none of them!

I've been giving Eagles as bit of a free ride because this forum underrates aggressive Maiden and there are few pompous monoliths that need to be knocked off their pedestals.
Caught Somewhere in Time? Better than Thousand Suns? Or anything else up there?
Give me a fucking break.




PS: I am on board with riding Powerslave to the end.
It's time to crown a new pharaoh.

 

[Mosh]

I don't get what the deal is with Caught Somewhere In Time here. It's a good song with some spectacular solos but there are a few on that album that are so much better. Namely Stranger In a Strange Land and Alexander the Great.

 

[mckindog]

It's a good song.
It's also the seventh-best song on the album.
