By the way, who are the best composers of today's heavy metal. My suggestion:
*Steve Harris (Iron Maiden)
*James Hetfield (Metallica)
*Geddy Lee (Rush)
tied with "Prowler," "Transylvania," and "Strange World."
>Killers: Killers
tied with the other nine songs on the album.
>Number of the beast: Hallowed be thy name
tied with "Children Of The Damned"
>Pice of mind: To tame a land
tied with "The Trooper," "Still Life," and "Revelations"
>Powerslave: Aces high
tied with "Flash Of The Blade," "The Duellists," and "Powerslave"
>Somewhere in time: The loneliness of the long distans runner
tied with the other seven songs on the album
>Seventh son of a seventh son: Seventh son of a seventh son
tied with the other seven songs on the album
>No prayer for the dying: Mother Russia
tied with "Public Enema Number One," "The Assassin" (despite a horribly stupid
chorus text), and "Bring Your Daughter...To The Slaughter"
>Fear of the dark: Childhood's end
tied with "Afraid To Shoot Strangers," "Wasting Love," "The Apparition," "Be
Quick Or Be Dead" and "Fear Is The Dark" (especially when Blaze sings Fear
and Strangers!)
>The X-factor: The sign of the cross
>
Well, I thought this one was one of the weaker songs on the album. I prefer
"Judgement Of Heaven," "Lord Of The Flies," "The Heart Of Darkness," and
"2 A. M."

I never personally owned either album because I can't stand Di'Anno, but
Phantom is certainly up there, I like Transylvania too...
> Number of the beast: Hallowed be thy name
Agreed.
> Pice of mind: To tame a land
That or Still Life.
> Powerslave: Aces high
Aces High all the way, although, I like the live version (Live After
Death) much better... it seems much more powerful.
> Somewhere in time: The loneliness of the long distans runner
Yup.
> Seventh son of a seventh son: Seventh son of a seventh son
Just about the entire CD, although SSOASS, Infinite Dreams and The
Prophecy are probably my favorites.
> No prayer for the dying: Mother Russia
I liked NPFTD, or at least I liked a lot of the songs that other people
don't. I thought that Mother Russia, Tailgunner, Run Silent Run Deep
and the Assassin were all pretty cool. I got WAY tired of BYDTTS after
hearing it a million times on Live One and the Donington CDs (which I
listen to frequently).
> Fear of the dark: Childhood's end
I didn't like that album that much, although Fear of the Dark is a
pretty decent song.
> The X-factor: The sign of the cross
Sign of the Cross, Lord of the Flies, Judgement of Heaven, Edge of
Darkness. (Not necessarily in that order!)
Actually, my favorite song off the X-Factor "era" so far has been
Judgement Day. It's too bad they didn't put it on the album, it would
have given it a certain "flair" which it seems to lack in parts.
Of course, there are many, many songs which are great, they just don't
all come to mind right now! :)

What is wrong with James Hetfield? He has written great songs like "Ride the
lightning", "Master of puppets", "Orion", "One", "And justice for all",
"Bleeding me" and so on. METALLICA RULES.

oh, and i'd have to say my least favourite maiden song ever has to be
From Here To Eternity. Why would they release this as a single and put
it on RLO and Donington?? Just my opinion i guess, but it seems like
such a horrible song.

Yeah... I think Children is underrated, too. But I think it is also

I guess.. I like it a lot.. But then again, I thought that Fear of the=

dark was a pretty good album.
I agree. "From here to eternity" is not a good song, although Geers's guitar
solo is very cool. Most of Geers's guitar solos stinks, but this one and the
one in "Wasted love" are very good.

I've never really liked Wrathchild, but Killers and Murders... are
pretty cool. There's just something about Prodigal Son that stands
out from the rest that I can't place...
>22 Acacia Ave (better than Hallowed/Prisoner/Children Of The Damned!?!?!)
I've only really liked this song since I listened to it on Live After
Death last year - it was the first time I'd listened to it live in a
few year (i'd neglected LAD for a while) and I just loved it. It's
the last half of the song that I really like. I've never really cared
for Children of the Damned, and I've heard Hallowed be Thy Name just
too many times...
>The Evil That Men Do (better than SSOASS/Moonchild/etc !?!?!)
Again, it's only been the last couple of years that it has grown on me
- it's a great sing-along song, which is not to say that the rest of
the album isn't good - it is. I like every song, but I've never been
able to figure out what all the fuss is about regarding The
Clairvoyant...

I´d say that there is one crucial album in Irons´ career: Seventh Son of a
Seventh Son. I think that one gathers all the essence of the music from
Iron Maiden. It recovers the past and prepares for the future, there is a
CHANGE there, both in mentality and in music. All of its songs are great;
the best for me. Afterwards I´d add these:
- Killers album.
- Fear of the Dark album.
- Iron Maiden: Charlotte the Harlot, Transylvania.
- The Number of the Beast: this very song.
- Piece of Mind: Where Eagles Dare.
- Powerslave: The Duelists.
- Somewhere in Time: Wasted Years.

My picks, album by album:
IM: Iron Maiden
Killers: Wrathchild
NOTB: Number of the Beast or Hallowed be thy name
Piece of Mind: The Trooper
Powerslave: Rime of the Ancient Mariner or Flash of the Blade
Somewhere in Time: Stranger in a Strange Land
SSOASS: Title Track
No Prayer: Tailgunner
FOTD: Childhood's End
Iron Maiden: Transylvania
Killers: Purgatory
The Number of the Beast: The Prisoner
Piece of Mind: Revelations

Somewhere in Time: The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner

No Prayer for the Dying: Run Silent Run Deep
Fear of the Dark: Fear of the Dark
The X Factor: The Edge of Darkness
BTW, I also agree that "Judgement Day" is a great track and maybe
should've been on it, but has anyone else notice that it's opening rhythm
sounds strikingly similar to those of "Man on the Edge" and "Be Quick or
Be Dead" and that all 3 of these tracks were written by Janick with Bruce
or Blaze...Man, someone should tell him to lay off those intros. :-)
Rich
I guess I might as well share my thoughts-
IM: PROWLER!!!! - Can't get enough of It!! I just keeps going, I love it!
Killers: Murders (Maybe Wrathchild) I'm split on this decision
NOTB: Have to be NOTB - Hallowed is better in concert, but, well you know it's
too slow on here
Piece of Mind: Eagles through Still life - can't decide, 2,4,6 and 7 might
carry a tad more weight though.
Powerslave: Everything rules - Powerslave is not overrated IMHO
Somewhere in Time: Sea of Madness
SSOASS: Infinite Dreams
No Prayer: Bring Your Daughter - Yeah, I said BYDTTS... You gotta love the
chanting and operatic part
FOTD: Fugitive or Wasting Love - all the songs are great
X-Factor: Fortunes of War - I just got this a couple of days ago, and I am
very pleasently surprised, but they should use Blaze's voice better.
You listen to this and then maybe Flight of Icarus or Murders in the
Rue Mourge, and see the difference
Is it just me, or is Steve growing old gracfully, he still looks like
he's in his early twenties! In photos, at least (I missed the latest tours).
Is there any I.M. Mailing lists? I want on! Someone send me an address
please?!?
Last one, Is the BotB much more expensive on vinyl?
We get so close near enough to fight |I M
when a Russian gets me in his sights |R A
He pulls the trigger and I feel the blow |O I
A burst of rounds takes my horse below |N D
And as I lay there gazing at the sky | E
my body's numb and my throat is dry | N
And as I lay forgotten and alone
without a fear I draw my parting groan

Yes, right! "judas Be My Guide" is the Great Song in a "Fear Of the Dark" I
think.
I don't know why the Maidens don't play in any concert this song.

I can't see what is so good about Man on the Edge. It is a lazily
written song with no thought or imagination put into it. Compare it to
Phantom of the Opera or Hallowed Be Thy Name, these songs have more
action and skill. Man On The Edge is just plain old crappy verse, crappy
chorus, crappy verse, crappy chorus, crappy Janick's solo, decent Dave
solo...

A bold choice, an instrumental for the album's best song ... it
IS a bloody good song though! I would have chosen Wrathchild or Killers
myself...
