Best song on Iron Maiden - The Number of The Beast

[Spreadingthe Living312]

Where they really hit the ground running IMO.

Best song to these ears is Hallowed be thy Name followed closely by The Prisoner.

 

[mutantllama]

Hallowed be thy Name FTMFW!

 

[Vilden]

Well this was easy, Hallowed be thy Name. Best maiden song ever.

 

[Oddity_13]

Hallowed Be Thy Name is obviously great, but I jreally like 22 Acacia Avanue... this will require much thought.

 

[The Ozzman]

I'm waiting in my cold cell
when the bell begins to chime...

 

[waif]

Hallowed, Run to the Hills, and 22 Acacia Avenue are all good stuff. RttH is the best, imo.

Don't really like the title track...

 

[mutantllama]

Fuck, I love the whole cd.

 

[Vegard Pompey]

...I wonder which song is gonna win. I really do.

Voted Hallowed. 22 and Children of the Damned are good too, but not in the same league.

 

[False Joe]

TEARS THEY FLOW BUT WHY AM I CRYING
AFTER ALL I'M NOT AFRAID OF DYING

AS THE GUARDS MARCH ME OUT TO THE COURTYARD
SOMEONE CALLS FROM A CELL GOD BE WITH YOU
IF THERE'S A GOD THEN WHY HAS HE LET ME DIIIIIIIE!


Hallowed be thy fucking name.
Hands down.

 

[Vilden]

Don't really like the title track...

I agree, well ofcourse it is good but one of their most overrated "hits" imo. Most songs on the album is better.

 

[ramses]

Invaders for me. I guess I'd have to say 2nd and 3rd would be Children of the Damned, and Run to the Hills, for I sing those in my band.

 

[Vegard Pompey]

I think the title track is actually quite good. Not as good as Hallowed, but still way better than say, Run to the Hills.

 

[AchrisK]

Hallowed, probably followed by the title track for me. The whole thing is great, but being from the 80's, I got tired of Run to the Hills long ago. Good song, though.

 

[Rabid Headbanger]

Number of the beast. The bass in that song is the single most awesome thing ever.

 

[Thoth-Amon]

Hallowed closely followed by 22. Hallowed is their best song IMO.

 

[ThisIsACoolName]

Is it really the end not some crazy dream?

Anyway, nothing new here. HBTN got my vote. I considered giving it to Invaders or the title track, though. Gangland is pretty good, as well.

 

[blood_drunk]

i love the whole album, its a great classic, but i voted hallowed be thy name just like everyone else

 

[waif]

GANGLAND?
That song is the epitome of filler

 

[Spreadingthe Living312]

Gangland is good. Kreator's cover of it was fine.

Anyways, damn, if I knew Hallowed would have been such a big popularity, i would have chosen The Prisoner to give it a bit more balance haha.

 

[Vegard Pompey]

You should have known. It is widely considered one of the best metal songs ever.

...IMO, the best metal song ever is Infinite Dreams, also by Maiden.
