Supz all.

What do you think is the best iron maiden single ever???

I'm putting one in for Hallowed Be Thy name. I love the gloominess and the bells at the start. The Lyrics are also exceptional.

So, what do you think??? :cool:
 
I like "reachout" for a single. Oops,that might not be consider a single,but "Wasted Years" is consider a *sampler* from the album "Somewhere in Time".
And if *samplers* were *singles*;here is a list to choose from:
"Iron Maiden"
-Phantom of The Opera
-Running Free (a fav of mine)
-Charlotte the Harlot

"Killers"
-The Ides of March
-Wrathchild
-Killers

"The Number of the Beast"
-Run to the Hills
-22 Acacia Avenue
-The Number of the Beast

"Piece of Mind"
-Flight of Icarus
-Where Eagles Dare
-Revelations

"Powerslave"
-2 Minutes to Midnight
-Aces High (awesome...)
-Rime of the Ancient Mariner (not my choice)

And that is as far I can go with the list I have. I don't know the choice of licks from other C.D's that are consider *singles/samplers* for remaining albums...but we can have some fun assuming..continuing the list

"Seventh Son of a Seventh Son"
-Can I play with Madness (hell yes!)
-Seventh son of a seventh son
-The Prophet

"No Prayer for the Dying"
-(help me out here people..)

"The X Factor"
-(have this album,but don't care for it..sorry.You choose a song from it)

"Fear of the Dark"
-(ditto here,except for Fear of the Dark)

"Virtual XI"
-(not familar with it..you make the selection)

"Brave New World"
-The Nomad (my choice)
-The Wicker Man (by others)
-debuting the title track from the album

"Dance of Death"
-Rainmaker
-No more lies
-title track as well
-(feel free to add)

And that's about it excluding the LIVE albums...I think..
 
Seriously:

Run To The Hills - It's the ideal single - short, tuneful and easy to sing along to but at the same time it is the distinctive quality Maiden sound.

Rainmaker was probably Maidens most suitable single release and has the good properties a single should have as well as having the quality Maiden sound.

I can't decide which is better out of Run To The Hills and Rainmaker.
