the last two or thee albums are pretty much in the progressive metal zone......


Hard to pick a favourite.
Phantom from the early days
The clairvoyant from the middle period
And ghosts of navigators from the recent era (though there are plenty to choose from)

^They're not. They're prog related, like Zeppelin, Queen, Black Sabbath and other rock bands which features some prog elements in their music.

Must be either Remember Tomorrow, Hallowed Be Thy Name or Moonchild. But they have so many great songs.

Yep! Good call. Always loved that song.

I'm more inclined towards early Maiden, that is everything up to and including Powerslave, although I admit I'm not as familiar with the later stuff. Bayley ear, I don't know at all:

Wrathchild.
The prisoner
The number of the beast
Still Life
To Tame a land
2 Minutes to midnight
Rhyme of the ancient mariner

All great metal tunes.
Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

Its extrememly hard to pick one iron maiden song, but in my opinion, it would have to be Hallowed Be Thy Name. Bruce's amazing vocals, (nevermind the friggin amazing 20-count note he holds in the intro) combined with the extremely long and well-put together guitar solo, followed by four repetitions of hallowed be they name, its just Maiden at its best. Plus, its on their greatest album of all time, Number of the Beast.

Prodigal Son. It really doesn't even sound like an Iron Maiden tune, but it's fantastic.
