What is your personal favorite Iron Maiden song?
I'd have to say The Prophecy.
I also love Still Life.

^
you mean "man on the edge"...with its chorus "fallin' down..."
I love "flash of the blade", especially when the music is associated to the images of Dario Argento's movie 'phenomena'

From way back it has to be Phantom. More recent The Clairvoyant always worked pretty well for me. in the naughties i'd say Ghosts of Navigators -------------

For a few years now it's been a battle between Stranger in a Strange Land and Lord of Light. Undecided still, but perhaps edging towards the former. ------------- http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=42652" rel="nofollow - It's on PA!

hard to top Rime of the Ancient Mariner. I still love the entire of Powerslave, after all these years their new more stretched out, prog-alike material isn't *bad* either but it feels a little ambitious for a band you secretly just want to hear gallop and kick ass ------------- FREEDOM OF SPEECH GO TO HELL |

| 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. |

| Rime Of The Ancient Mariner, I guess. |

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! |

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

^They're not. They're prog related, like Zeppelin, Queen, Black Sabbath and other rock bands which features some prog elements in their music.
Btw, my favorite IM song is Blood Brothers. -------------

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) -------------

Ooooh, tough. If I had to pick just one, I guess it'd be "Blood Brothers." Such great melodies and tight musicianship! "The Talisman," "Fear of the Dark," "Isle of Avalon," and "The Journeyman" are also very high on my list. ------------- "I am the one who crossed through space...or stayed where I was...or didn't exist in the first place...." |

Tie between Phantom,Transylvania,Ghengis Khan,Purgatory,Twilight Zone, and Drifters. IMO Early Maiden is the best Maiden!

D'ano era: Phanton Of The Opera Dickinson era: Rime of The Ancient Mariner Blaze era: Sign of The Cross/The Clansman The last 4 albums are amazing, it has probably their most progressive stuff, songs like Dream of Mirrors, The Talisman, Starblind, The Thin Line Between Love and Hate, Dance Of Death, Greater Good of God, etc....truly epic.

| Hallowed be Thy Name, although it's a pretty tough call. |

| Sign of the Cross is of course the best Baley era song, but it's just way better when Dickinson sings it (aka Rock In Rio 2000) |
