your favourite three Dave Murray (co-)written tracks?

[Dick Brucinson]

Mine: Charlotte The Harlot, Deja-Vu, Fates Warning.

 

[Yax]

Brave New World, Judas Be My Guide (what an overlooked gem) and Breeg.

 

[Diesel 11]

Going with “Brave New World”, “Still Life”, and “The Thin Line Between Love and Hate”.

 

[el diablo]

Rainmaker, Still Life, The Nomad.
Honorable Mention: Deja Vu, Brave New World, The Man Who Would Be King

 

[KidInTheDark666]

Voted for Rainmaker, Deja Vu and BNW.

 

[PhantomOfTheOpera]

Went with "Brave New World", "Deja-Vu" and "Still Life".
Rainmaker and Benjamin Breeg would have been the next ones in the list.

 

[Patrick92]

Still Life, Nomad and Benjamin Breeg

 

[Cosmiceddie]

1. The Thin Line Between Love And Hate
2. The Nomad
3. Rainmaker

All 3 tracks are still in my Maiden top 10 song list.

 

[Forostar]

Deja-Vu
The Man of Sorrows
Brave New World

 

[Melony]

”The Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg” is very good, but the answer is: “The Prophecy”.

 

[Edington]

”The Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg” is very good, but the answer is: “The Prophecy”.

Why not both (and a third song)?

For me it's Brave New World, Ben Breeg and Judas Be My Guide, with The Thin Line... and Rainmaker following very closely.

Also, minor note: Dave didn't co-write New Frontier, that was Adrian.

No one wants the credi.. blame for that one.

My top three by Dave are

1. The Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg. He knocked it out of the park with this one. One of Maiden's most mysterious, mystical and atmospheric songs. The intro is beautiful and haunting and the main riff is as heavy as anything Maiden ever did. Great solo also.

2. Still Life. The "title track" on Piece of Mind, unfortunately a slightly forgotten song and of the truly underrated gems in Maiden's discography.

3. The Prophecy. Difficult choice. I considered Brave New World, but today it felt like The Prophecy was the right choice. The outro is one of Maiden's best. Dave writes very soothing intros, it might be a bit one dimensional, but he comes up with so few songs it never gets old and he never copies himself (Hi, Janick).

 

[Eli]

1. The Thin Line Between Love And Hate
2. The Nomad
3. Rainmaker

All 3 tracks are still in my Maiden top 10 song list.

I voted for the same 3. only the ranking is backwards.

1, Rainmaker
2. The Nomad
3. The Thin Line Between Love And Hate

 

[Magnus]

Drifter? Am I missing something?
Still Life, Charlotte and The Prophecy, with Fates and Judas getting a honourable mention.
I wouldn't include Nomad in that list btw.

Edit: Did I really forget Deja-Vu? Now that's déjà vu indeed.

 

[Lampwick 43]

Brave New World, Judas, and Thin Line.

Honorable mention to Benny Breeg.

 

[KidInTheDark666]

I had no idea The Nomad was this popular.

 

[Eddie620]

Judas Be My Guide, Still Life, The Reincarnation Of Benjamin Breeg

 

[The Dissident]

Brave, Charlotte and Breeg

Although it has been a while since I've revisited many of these songs

 

[hennkris]

Still Life, The Prophecy, Deja-Vu

 

[Kalata]

Rainmaker, Brave New World and The Thin Line Between Love And Hate.

Deja-Vu, When Two Worlds Collide, Judas Be My Guide and The Nomad are all on close second.
