Best Maiden single pre-1990?

[Spiff]

Hey

Same poll as before - I would have included them in the same list if I could have had enough poll options, but 20's the limit. So vote.

Not counting the live singles.

Now this is a tougher poll. 2 Minutes for mine, but honourable mentions to The Trooper and Running Free

 

[Blitzkrieg]

Fuck me, I thought the other poll was hard!!! There isn't even one mediocre song there (except maybe "Women In Uniform", and I actually don't like "Can I Play With Madness" at all, but I won't go into that now )...they all range from great to awesome!!

I think I will have to go with "Wasted Years" (although that would probably change if you asked me tomorrow...), with "Aces High" an extremely close second. Honerable mentions go to "Purgatory" as it's very underated IMO, "The Number Of The Beast" of course, "2 Minutes To Midnight" is also great, and "The Evil That Men Do".

Wasted Years! Followed by The Evil That Men Do!

Look to the nickname for my answer

Defines the Maiden sound to me, and also the '80s heavy/power metal sound... and inspired pretty much every battle song by '90s traditional power metal bands.

Next choices would've been Wastde Years, The Evil That Men Do, Flight Of Icarus, Aces High and Run To The Hills.

 

[Joe Salami]

The Trooper of course. Nothing compares.

I voted for 2 minutes to midnite but really i would include all of the following as equal first
Running Free
Run to the Hills
Number of the Beast
Aces High

All 5 of these are songs i love!
