Which Iron Maiden song did it?

[SinisterMinisterX]

The Prisoner is the second song in the Maiden album canon to start with "The", which is 'specific'. It is outclassed in that regard two tracks later by The Number of The Beast. As you point out, it is also a B-side to The Clairvoyant. Maybe @RTC is wrong and I am right after all?...

I'm sorry, I got what you meant the first time. I just meant that when I went through the songs, I hadn't thought of that criteria.

Being in cahoots with The Clairvoyant is the only clue here. Specific criteria are virtually limitless.

Said criteria is actually not as complicated as you might think.

No one said it's complicated, only that the sea of possible of criteria is so vast that the clue doesn't help much.

 

[RTC]

I'll admit it's a more difficult one, but it will make sense once you get the answer if you know what I mean.

Anyone else want a pop at this or want to start a new game?

Go on @RTC , what's the answer?

It was Remember Tomorrow

1: The second Iron Maiden song to meet specific criteria. Criteria being the longest Iron Maiden song. Prowler as the first song automatically got the title as the longest. Remember Tomorrow was the second song to be deemed the longest.
2: 2 tracks later however, it was outclassed in this attribute. Phantom Of The Opera
3: Seems to be in cahoots with The Clairvoyant. Reference to the title, Remembering Tomorrow is looking into the future, very much like a clairvoyant.

Tough one though given the circumstances.
