 This was close between Rime of the Ancient Mariner and Brighter Than a Thousand Suns, however loads of people have voted for Rime, so I went for Brighter Than a Thousand Suns (it's a brilliant track & my fave from their latest album, A Matter of Life & Death).

BTW have you notice the whole of semitones that several Maiden songs have in this tracks:
Rime of the ancient Mariner About the 4 minutes before finish (done by Harris)
Caught Somewhere in Time in the middle of the song. done by the guitar and bass BTW quite similar to the Rime thing.
on the contrary in the early days they do not use that several notes
Did someone note that?

POTO clocks 7:07 so i would call it epic, maybe not in structure but in lenght,yes. |
Phantom of the opera is in the mid-length song polls here: http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=55348 There's also a poll for the songs that have more standard durations (around less than 5 1/2 min)

I'm quite sure "Phantom... " is included in one of the other two Maiden polls. This one is for longer tracks, which in prog terms we'd call 'epics'.

Paschendale or Rime of the Ancient Mariner. Two of my favourite Maiden songs, that's for sure.

It's not really a prog track though, kinda prog related. Regardless, amazing song anyway, one of Iron Maiden's finest

WHAT?!? No "Phantom?" That's, like, the best Maiden track ever...and it only misses the "eight minute mark" by about a minute...crap, wait, it's longer than "Powerslave?" REALLY? Doubled shocked I is...I'll see you all in the shorter songs thread... (Oh, and, probably Rime of the Ancient Mariner.)

Although I haven´t heard them all, I´m gonna go with Pashandale. A very mature side of Maiden, epic, not cheesy (not that they are...) and ooooh sooooo yummy
