Iron Maiden- The Educated Fool

This is my favorite blaze-tune these days.
Woof. I think this is arguably Maiden’s all-time worst song, with only “Look For The Truth” and “Weekend Warrior” competing with it for last place.

Awkward lyrics, terrible vocal delivery, terrible chorus. Only the intro and the solo are any good, IMO.

I think the main guitar melody is really fantastic. The instrumental section shines. It doesn't have the best of choruses but its verses are solid.
 
Thanks to @JudasMyGuide, I'm currently discovering some classic rock! I've got Beggars Banquet, Tubular Bells, and Goodbye Yellow Brick Road on my list of albums to listen to next.

Great to hear that! I'd personally switch Banquet for Sticky Fingers, Bells for Ommadawn and Road for Don't Shoot Me or Captain Fantastic (or Honky Chateau, which was my first album by him, btw) but I'm happy for you all the same :D

Thanks! I picked Beggars Banquet because I already liked Let It Bleed and Tubular Bells because, well... it's Tubular Bells. I've heard Ommadawn is better, so I'll listen to it afterwards. As for the Elton John album, I'll take your suggestion and go for Don't Shoot Me I'm Only the Piano Player (thanks to the two singles, Crocodile Rock and Daniel).

Speaking of which, have you heard Crocodile Chop?
