Best song on Iron Maiden - Self Titled

[Spreadingthe Living312]

Hey guys, I'm gunna be putting polls up here every once in a while just to see the favorites off of individual metal albums. Discussions in these threads are highly welcomed.

Our first album, Iron Maiden Self titled. To me, the best song is probably the title track. Its a perfect representation of where they were at the time.

This was a hard choice between Remember Tomorrow and Phantom of the Opera. I went with Remember Tomorrow 'cause it doesn't sound like any other Maiden song.

For me, this was a hard choice between Remember Tomorrow, Phantom of the Opera and Charlotte The Harlot. I went with Phantom of the Opera 'cause of the solo and I just like longer tracks.

 

[Zephyrus]

The only one I heard was the Opeth cover of "Remember Tomorrow", which I thought was pretty good.

running free is so much rock and win. all the songs are great but i just love running free

 

[The Ozzman]

I had to choose between Running Free and Iron Maiden. I chose Iron Maiden.

 

[Black Friday]

Hard to choose, but I just picked Phantom Of The Opera. Such a great album.

 

[Spreadingthe Living312]

For me it was a big tossup between the title track and Phantom of the Opera. Phantom of the Opera is one of my favorite Maiden songs ever, but the version with Bruce is so much better. I prefer Paul's version of Iron Maiden though, so thats why I picked it.

Phantom of the Opera(live with Bruce). No contest

Title track. Prowler, Running Free, Sanctuary, and Phantom of the Opera are all also excellent.

@Zeph: How have you managed not to get this?
GET IT. NOW.

Not an Iron Maiden fan, sorry. A friend lent me Piece of Mind and SSOASS and while they were decent, they didn't much appeal to me.

You never really listened to them. If you did you would have instantly had an awesome-gasm.

Venom is the closest I'll get to having a passion for British heavy metal.

I got Welcome to Hell today and it fucking rocks.

Very different sound on the first album. Completely different, actually. In fact, it's almost a different band - different singer, drummer, and guitarist. More of a punkish feel.

Also, check out Somewhere In Time - also different from the ones you heard, and with the most amazing sound. Brave New World is also worth a shot.

You have to understand that Maiden's sound changed with every album.

 

[Cythraul]

It's always tough for me to pick favorite Maiden songs considering I love almost every single song they released from 1980 to 1988. Nevertheless, I went with 'Phantom of the Opera'.

 

[Matt]

Not a huge Maiden fan either, though do have some fanstical songs.

 

[Rumpole]

Strange World.

 

[Zephyrus]

They often played a mix CD at wrestling practices with the song "Aces High" on it. It will always be my favorite Iron Maiden song.

Until you hear Paschendale
