These are some of my favourite Maiden songs. (Of course I like Hallowed be thy name etc.. but I excluded them so we won´t have a runaway winner) Which one would you choose?

Hallowed be thy name!!  I just have The Number of the Beast so I fear I can't really choose. The album I have is awesome though. -------------   RIP in bossa nova heaven. |

So many good songs here... OK, having to choose (preferably without any guns pointed to my precious head...), I voted for the highly underrated "To Tame a Land" (initially called "Dune", until they were forced to change the name). However, "Paschendale" is also a fantastic track (and if that's not prog, then what is?) - check the live version on the "Death on the Road" DVD, it's nothing short of stunning. Personally, I would've included "Dance of Death" as well - I was watching it yesterday evening, and every time it gets more and more superb (and it's proof enough that a certain golden-haired guitarist can definitely play and write songs as well as the others.... ).

Have you seen their DVD "The Early Years" That is really impressive (four shows on one DVD!) and contains a long documentary too! |

I haven't yet... I'm going to have to sell my house very soon if I keep up with the current CD- and DVD-buying rate! Unfortunately, I'm afraid the aforementioned guitarist with the golden locks won't be featured in that video...Seriously, though, if I don't see IM on this site I may do something rash very soon... and Rainbow too... OK, better keep my mouth shut... I avoided posting in the Blind Guardian thread to avoid digging that up once again! |

^Hah! We are growing stronger! Maiden will be in the archives someday!!!
Ghost Rider, join our little crusade!!!! Some people already wanna force maiden in here (including myself and Maidenrulez/Lindsay Lohan).
If Nightwish, Deep Purple, Queensryche and Queen are here... So must Maiden!!!
 Maiden had a far bigger influence on modern prog metal than Queensryche!!! ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/ed_the_dead/?chartstyle=asimpleblue5">

Love them as i do, Maiden are not prog. They are NWOBHM and have had a tremendous influence on prog metal but if anyone has any strong evidence for claiming Maiden are Prog they are welcome to state their case listing "Prog Elements" - I think Maiden should be in PA because...............

Sure! Only for about a month, but still... And some still say that a band can't be kicked out of PA, and just don't "remember" any issues with Katatonia ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/ed_the_dead/?chartstyle=asimpleblue5">

I think Maiden should be prog because.....
They composed a lot of complex long, epic, intelligent and carefully structured songs, incorporating classical and symphonic elements in them (especially on the last albums).
They recorded the 1st 100% progressive metal concept album? The one you posted 3rd?
You cannot deny the progressiveness of that one. Queensryche where not the 1st band to do that... ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/ed_the_dead/?chartstyle=asimpleblue5">

YEEEEESSSS! Scream for me, ProgArchives! Of course I'm 100% with you in this crusade... and don't get me started on Nightwish or the godawful Blind Guardian!  That said, it seems their next album is going to be their proggiest yet (the cover artwork is quite stunning BTW). It's going to be out in early September - and I've already got the ticket for their December 3 gig in Milan! Great early birthday present for me (I was born 10 days before Christmas)... Ah, and I agree 100% about what you answered MysticFred... They did it before Queensryche, and at least as well as they did! |

I couldn't agree more.... I can't fathom some of the inclusions into PM yet Iron Maiden is not.... If any of you all are listening... let's correct a correctable oversite.. get Iron Maiden where it belongs here. ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

"To Tame A Land" rules, as does Dune.
