Saapanael's Top 50 Iron Maiden songs

Once you know every song they've released, the top 50 will only include songs that you love, "never liked it" won't show up there anymore.
 
Him not knowing the whole discography doesn't make it explainable. He says 25. Starblind is one of the best and 24. Holy Smoke is slightly boring. 33. Isle of Avalon is definitely one of the best from TFF and 32. Invaders slow, clunky and boring.
 
50) Can I Play with Madness - Used to think it was alright, but then I grew up, matured a listened to better Maiden songs
49) Futureal - Never liked it. Ever
48) Man on the Edge - Bearable, but not something I'd listen to
47) Charlotte the Harlot - Catchy chorus, but that's all it is
46) Flight of Icarus - Really used to hate it, but I've now realised how good it really is
45) Wasted Years - I find it boring if I'm honest
44) From Here to Eternity - Fun, catchy, crowd-pleasing singalong
43) Infinite Dreams - Very good song, fits in well with the theme of SSOASS
42) Wrathchild ( Donington '92) - Superb live performance
41) Run to the Hills (Donington '92) - One of the best live performances of RTTH
40) El Dorado (En Vivo) - Purely because it kicked off a good concert
39) The Clairvoyant - See #45
38) Sanctuary (RiR 2001) - Amazing crowd interaction, and Janick's ridiculous guitar solo
37) Running Free (Donington '92) - One of the best Maiden encores
36) Iron Maiden - Signature song, nothing special, but nice tune behind it. Shame Nicko decides to speed the drumming up
35) Virus - Not 100% sold on it! but definitely one of the better songs during the dire Blaze Bayley era
34) Different World - Simple rocker, good opening track for AMOLAD
33) Isle of Avalon - Definitely one of the best from TFF
32) Invaders - Slow, clunky and boring
31) Wasting Love - One of the only ballads that works
30) Bring your Daughter - Not great, but worth a listen to every now and again
29) Be Quick or Be Dead - Fast paced and different
28) Alexander the Great - Amazing.
27) The Wicker Man - catchy chorus
26) The Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg - One of Maiden's best epics
25) Starblind - One of the best
24) Holy Smoke - Slightly boring, but worth a listen
23) The Talisman - Masterpiece
22) The Prisoner - Decent song
21) Fear of the Dark (Download '13) - Great, crowd-pleasing epic
20) 2 Minutes to Midnight - Nothing special, but tremendous vocals
19) Powerslave (Live After Death) - Amazing vocals bring it to life
18) The Number of the Beast - Never gets old because of the wail and solo
17) The Evil that Men Do - Good song
16) Wrathchild - One of the better songs of the Di'Anno era
15) Running Free - Not great, but simple
14) Phantom of the Opera (Download '13) - Great performance of a classic
13) Moonchild - Underrated classic
12) Run to the Hills - Decent, definitely a classic
11) The Trooper - One of my favourites, good galloping beat
10) El Dorado - Great opening, decent lyrics
9) Mother of Mercy - More suited for AMOLAD than TFF, dark and entertaining
8) The Alchemist - Good rocker, entertaining
7) Hallowed Be Thy Name - Classic, one of the best epics
6) Phantom of the Opera - All time classic, and amazing 4+ minute solo
5) Powerslave - One of the best epics ever
4) Rime of the Ancient Mariner - The best epic in Maiden's history
3) These Colours Don't Run - Good song
2) When the Wild Wind Blows - Possibly the best song on TFF
1) Brighter than a Thousand Suns - My favourite AMOLAD song
Patrick, we demand a rewrite/re-think!
Saapanael, we discourteously reserve the right to not bother talking about your fine choices anymore. Please immediately re-title your thread "Patrick's Crazy Top 50 Iron Maiden Songs".:lol:
 
Removed numbers temporarily because I'm doing quite radical changes, especially in the top 20 area (brought The Clansman 30 spots higher :P).
