The playlist on Youtube about it (best songs of 2000-2015) was uploaded by me. I left Speed of Light and Starblind out, which caused some complaints in the commentaries. :innocent:
 
I don't give 2 craps about "Speed of Light" in this particular Top 25 case, but Starblind?! Who leaves Starblind out of a list like this?

(I know @Diesel 11 does, but he dislikes "Purgatory" so we disregard his opinion.)

I actually like Starblind. I'm finding it's another grower on me. Who knows how much I'll enjoy it by next year. Still, kinda clunky and there are better Maiden songs.

Purgatory can go fuck itself.
