 Topic: What's the ultimate Maiden Track?
Posted: November 13 2006 at 14:06 |

If other, specify which.
Me? I vote for Paschandale from their recent "Dance of Death" album. It
is possibly their most progressive song and not only that, it just
kicks major a$$. The musicianship, riffs, and songwriting here are Iron
Maiden at their very best!

Voted for Hallowed be thy Name which is my favorite Maiden track....but why didn't you include The Number of the Beast? I wouldn't have voted for it, but surely someone would.

I may be the only one: sign of the cross, I mean, in a progressive context.... is long and it's good.... I DID like x-factor, I don't think is as bad as people say only because Dickinson wasn't there....
But off course, fear of the Dark is Maiden's true greatest track....
An unknown track from the same album, Judas be my Guide is good, too.

Fear Of The DARK !!!
It's definitely the best Iron Maiden track. (For me)
The beginning of the song is truly awesome !

I haven't listened to them in years; but, I remember "Where Eagles Dare" from Piece Of Mind as being pretty incredible.

Killers and Seventh son of a seventh son are almost tied, but the former wins. Powerslave follows close behind.

From the list it's The Rhyme Of The Ancient Mariner but the ultimate IM-track for me is "Run To The Hills"!

Just got Powerslave yesterday, and it's great, but I was expecting a bit more diversity. It's my only Maiden cd.
Overall, I'd say my favorite track is Run to the Hills, but since that's not on the list, Rime of the Ancient Mariner.

My personal favorite is "The Trooper", but the question asked for "the ultimate Maiden track".
The context of that, in my opinion, is a little different than "what's your favorite?", so I chose Hallowed Be Thy Name, which is an epic masterpiece.
