Name ten songs to fill the "best of progressive Maiden" CD. You don't have to order them by your own personal rating, but watch for the opener track, the last track and so...fill the record.
Definition of "progressive"...well, anything out of the ordinary, rhytmic variations, unusual chord progessions, timecodes, virtuosic stuff. I didn't want to create the poll, because the poll should be populated by all Maiden songs, everyone has an different view on what "progressive" means...
My CD :
1. Sea Of Madness [ not too progressive, but it's an work of art, great lyrics, great solo, couple of rhythm variations, some "strange" drumming, mood variation...should serve as an great opener. ]
2. Phantom Of The Opera [ a Maiden classic, featuring early IM work with a lot of different moods, patterns, harmonies, all packed up in a one brilliant epic. ]
3. Brighter Than A Thousand Suns [ probably the most-progressive IM song, and an brilliant epic too, lots of progressive stuff there ]
4. Sign Of The Cross [ medieval epic, dark mood, a lot of rhytm variations, some great riffs, and great solos ]
5. Powerslave [ some unusual chord progressions, mood changes and a very long thrilling instrumental part ]
6. Caught Somewhere In Time [ mike portnoy of dream theater said that Nicko's 4/4 playing can sometimes be more challenging and harder than fast-changing progressive metal irregular patterns. this song depicts Maiden playing clean 4/4, no mood changes, zero variations, usual chord progressions...and they created 7 minute epic with virtuoso playing ]
7. Seventh Son Of The Seventh Son [ the second part, the instrumental part...wow ]
8. Infinite Dreams [ lots of mood changes, plethora of interesting guitar licks, great melody, great harmonies, great solos. the definition of music. ]
9. Lord Of Light [ standard more-progressive-maiden-amolad stuff, this time with creepy intro, great gallop, H experimenting, etc...]
10. Alexander The Great [ rhythm variations, mood changes, unusual chord progressions, great solos, killer song killed by crappy lyrics, but nevertheless deserves to be in the progressive collection, and it serves great as an closing track ]
