It changes from time to time, some past favorites have been for example Powerslave, Infinite Dreams and Revelations, and since the latest album came out, I've lifted Lord of Light above others. I think it's the best vocal performance by Bruce ever (just listen to him in that "free your soul and let it fly" part), it's got fantastic metal riffing and the atmosphere is really strong. Love it.

No Prayer For The Dying. Ever since my mom introduced me to Iron Maiden in the car when I was 3.

i went with fear of the dark. i love that song, especially the live in rio version. rime of the ancient mariner and hallowed be thy name are up there. also i think for the greater good of god from the latest album should be mentioned.

I'm despondant over the fact that Murder in the Rue Morgue isn't up there ...(along with Back in the Village & Transylvannia)

I have to say Hallowed Be Thy Name, as it has everything going for it. Riffs, vocals, melodies, everything is put together perfectly to create one of the best songs of all time.

Prodigal Son.
Lovely, dreamy, quiet and non-typical.

I voted for the Trooper and was disappointed that The Number of the Beast was ommitted. I guess I could have chosen "other".

"Rime" is longer, but "Trooper" is better!
The poll says I've already voted; I haven't.

My personal favorite is "The Trooper", but the question asked for "the ultimate Maiden track".
The context of that, in my opinion, is a little different than "what's your favorite?", so I chose Hallowed Be Thy Name, which is an epic masterpiece.

Agreed. The Trooper's opening riff and main melody sucks me in every time I hear it; classic Maiden. but Hallowed is a more complete, diverse song.

Stop misspelling "Rime of the Ancient Mariner".

I'd probably go with Rime Of The Ancient Mariner, too - honourable mentions as well go to Wrathchild, Flight Of Icarus, Powerslave & Children Of The Damned.
Great band - good to see them enjoying something of a renaissance these days
