I would have gone for Alexander... (for patriotic reasons) but 7th son is even a 'greater' song... Wink

I can't understand the love for Rime, it is my least liked long song from Iron Maiden, excluding the stuff in virtual XI.

Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson

I voted for "Brighter than a Thousand Suns" from the band's latest effort, but in the poll there are several other contenders - namely "Dance of Death" (simply marvellous) and "Dream of Mirrors".

Legacy is very very VERY close behind, but Dream of Mirrors pulls it for me. Astounding song every time I hear it.

Close between Rime and Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son.  I went with Rime Of The Ancient Mariner.

All of these songs are at least 8 minutes long, so you can't choose phantom of the opera, among other shorter songs.

the poll is based on musical composition, so if you feel Sign of the Cross is fantastic but the singer sucks, you might choose it.
