"The Green Manalishi".

Zod

[JayKeeley]

in that case, diamonds and rust.

Yes, because it's rated generally as "a really good Maiden song," as opposed to "the absolute best Maiden song," which it is.

I dunno man, I'd think 22 Acacia Ave is well regarded as one of the top 5 or 10 Maiden songs of all time.

Anyway, adding one to this thread:

THE MERCENARY

Pay to kill, die to lose, hunted, hunter which are you
Diablo come again to make trophies out of men



Took a while to appreciate that one.

Show them no fear, show them no pain

 

[Crimson Velvet]

This is kinda embarrassing, but I also really like "Judgement of Heaven"...

 

[Sadguru]

fear of the dark, no question.

 

[JayKeeley]

Two Minutes to Midnight.

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

fuck it

Hallowed Be Thy Name

 

[Lies and Perfidy]

Anyway, adding one to this thread:

THE MERCENARY

Stupid repetitive chorus screws up what would otherwise be a shoo-in for one of the best things Maiden's ever done. That's the problem with, like, everything on BNW.

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

I'm a sucker for "Out of the Silent Planet"

 

[Lies and Perfidy]

Ghost of the Navigator > *

But OoTSP is pretty awesome. In fact, despite the crappy choruses, BNW is overall a really good album.

 

[Dick Sirloin]

I'm going to put in Dance With Death for the first time in a year
