Your Top 10 Maiden Songs

Check the Declination! said:
A near impossible task. That being said, here you go:

10. Heaven Can Wait
9. Powerslave
8. The Prisoner
7. Killers
6. Fear of the Dark (Live From Fear to Eternity version)
5. Moonchild
4. Paschendale
3. The Clairvoyant
2. The Trooper
1. Hallowed Be Thy Name

In my opinion, making a top 10 list for Maiden is ridiculous. A real Sophie's Choice.

A Sophie's Choice indeed. I already want to change my list up. Heaven Can Wait and Moonchild....what classics.
 
This was ridiculously hard for me and I probably started with over fifty Iron Maiden songs, but these are my favorite Iron Maiden songs right now:
  1. The Evil That Men Do
  2. Wasted Years
  3. Powerslave
  4. Children of the Damned
  5. Strange World
  6. Judas Be My Guide
  7. Prodigal Son
  8. Revelations
  9. Rainmaker
  10. The Educated Fool
Honorable mentions:
  • Blood Brothers
  • Phantom of the Opera
  • When the Wild Wind Blows
I feel like this may be a pretty controversial list without Hallowed Be Thy Name on it. :p
 
Don't know about a top 10 BUT, I made a reel to reel recording of Piece of Mind from my pristine vinyl copy and Sun and Steel is a great tune! I don't have POM on my ipod and up until recently it was the one classic Maiden LP I was least familiar with. The 7.5ips tape sounds amazing on my system.
 
Off the top of my head though;

The Trooper
Rime of the Ancient Mariner

Number of the Beast
