Great use of strings which adds epicness to a song about an epic battle.
”

17) Where Eagles Dare

18) Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son

“Now this masterpiece... gives me the goosebumps.. every time I listen to it..”

metaniac

“A underrated masterpiece off the brilliant concept album of the same name.

A criminally underrated song by plenty of Maiden fans, which utilises synthesiser in a brilliant way to create an atmospheric piece of musical brilliance.

This is a song that proves Iron Maiden are the greatest/most talented band ever.”

19) Prowler

20) Genghis Khan

21) Flash of the Blade

“great song”

“This song is incredible! I can’t believe it’s not even on this list!”

“one of maiden’s best songs..”

24) Alexander The Great

“This song is so great! I’m sad they’ve never played it live”

ResidentEvil54life

“Educatational, enjoyable, epic.

Sublime Maiden song with a typicaly catch chorus.”

26) Still Life

27) Afraid to Shoot Strangers

“This is a classic”

28) Be Quick Or Be Dead

29) The Clairvoynat

Extremely catchy song that I never get sick of listening to.”

35) Purgatory

36) Sea of Madness

Again utilising synthisiser in a way that proves that they can actually add texture to songs without it sounding soft.

”

39) The Loneliness Of The Long Distance Runner

Love the chorus ’Runnn onnnnnnn and onnnn run onnnnnn and onnnn the lonnnliiineoss of the loonnnngggg diotaaannccce ruunnnnnerrrrrr’”
