Rime of the Ancient is the overall best
but I'd say the best Maiden song of the 90's is Afraid to Shoot Strangers

That's right. The question really is , "What's your favorite?"Bruce Chickinson said:

Many agree that Stairway to Heaven captured the total essence of Led Zeppelin.
I am going to say that Rime of the Ancient Mariner perfectly embodies Iron Maiden because it has so many signature styles, various progressions, and intelligent lyrics (as usual) with a great storyline (courtesy of Samuel Coleridge).
For someone interested in hearing what Iron Maiden is like, I would definitely play them Rime of the Ancient Mariner first. As far as there being a best Iron Maiden song, I like them all!

Hmm.... it would have to be "Hallowed be thy Name" by far.
Seventh Son of a Seventh Son is my other favorite, an underrated gem.

My favorite tune is Where Eagles Dare. Maybe because it was the first Maiden song I heard but I love it! The guitar solo! Melts my heart. Come on ladies! Play it!
But there best song might be "The Trooper". A perfect gem. Maybe its overlooked because of its familiarity but think back to the first time you heard it and how strongly it still resonates. "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" is a certainly their best "epic" tune. Got a soft spot for "Strange World" too.

I agree with Brucie. I Don't Have One Favorite. It goes by my mood. Sometime it's Infinite Dreams, or The Trooper or The Wicker Man or Fear Of The Dark.

puro pinche metal!
I couldn't even narrow it down to the best album.
From "Killers" through "Power Slave" Track per Track are rock solid. Songwriting wise they were untouchable during that time period. After that it was hit and miss...
Brave New World is pretty strong... there isn't a song that I skip on that one.

It's like asking a parent who their favorite child is. You can't do it. Iron Maiden just simply kick ass, and that's all that matters.

There is no best song (as many of you already said). It took me years to decide on what my favorite song is tho. My fav is Killers. Don't ask me what number two is...
