Me too, after Somewhere In Time I never got that much into them. When I heard Holy Smoke I thought, Holy shit they lost it.

1. The Trooper x 10

 

[Kapo_Polenton]

In no order because let's face it, there are so many damn great Maiden tunes:

Killers
Phantom of the Opera
The Prisoner
Seventh Son
Alexander the Great
Still Life
Aces High
Prowler
Infinite Dreams
Somewhere in Time

I pretty much love every single one of Adrain's solos and I am a huge fanboy so hard to find real stinker songs until the later stuff.

 

[Red_Label]

Damn guys... you DO know that Maiden have put-out some killer albums in the past 15 years, right? Looks like most of your lists stop at Somewhere In Time. Peace of Mind will probably always be my favorite album of theirs (as I got into them about the time it was released). Like many I sort of fell-away from following them after Somewhere In Time or 7th Son. But I picked them up again starting with Brave New World in 2000, and I listen to the new albums more than the old ones.

At any rate... it's hard for me to pick just ten from their entire catalog... so I'm gonna post-up my favorite ten of the past 15 years. If you're unfamiliar with some of these songs, then you owe it to yourselves to check them out. Maiden is still AWESOME and still rocks the shit out of most other bands on this planet! I saw them in Denver in June of 2010 and it was one of the best shows I've ever been to in 30-some years of concert-going.


My top ten list of the past 15 years of Maiden (with a little commentary

Brave New World (check out the Rock In Rio performance of this one)

Paschendale (this song flat-out ROCKS HARD)

Coming Home* (as a pilot myself and lover of all things aviation... I LOVE these lyrics)

Blood Brothers (it was almost inspirational to be part of the entire amphitheater crowd singing-along with this one)

The Wicker Man (rocks almost as hard to Paschendale)

Dance of the Death

These Colours Don't Run

The Longest Day

Isle of Avalon

Final Frontier

The Talisman


Seriously... check these newer songs out! (Albums are Brave New World, Dance of Death, Matter of Life and Death, and Final Frontier.)

UP THE IRONS!!!

*And long live Cap'n Bruce and Ed Force One!!!

Damn, that's tough to call, but a quick go through my favourite albums gives me:

The Prisoner
Number of The Beast
Die with Your Boots On
Two Minutes to Midnight
Aces High
Moonchild
Wasted Years
Heaven Can Wait
Can I play with Madness
Evil That Men Do

Interesting to see there's lots of guys who like the same era as me here - not sure why, but I generally get the feeling that SIT and SS get overlooked a lot...

 

[crwnedblasphemy]

can't go wrong here:

1) the clairvoyant
2) stranger in a strange land
3) wasted years
4) die with your boots on
5) hallowed be thy name

 

[Gorehog]

I will agree that Maiden has wrote goodd songs and put out good albums the last 15 yrs. ive seen them live and they are indeed awesome.

I discovered them on Powerslave. And went back. SIT did nuthing for me when it came out. I do like wasted yrs. but thats it. Can i play witt madness...no thanks.

So im not slagging the band. My list emphasizes the early days. I dont think the band changes, my tastes have changed. So the newer stuff i can appreciate, but cant get into.

Mad respect for Maiden tho. They do alot of things "right".

 

[thenine]

I usually chime in on these kinds of threads but this one is too difficult. My fave band.

 

[university81]

tough one, but in no order:

hallowed be thy name
the evil that men do
infinite dreams
wasted years
sea of madness
caught somewhere in time
the trooper
the duellists
seventh son of a seventh son
fear of the dark

//

that list changes every now and again but as of today it's correct

 

[gibson5413]

I know this is blasphemous but I don't listen to them near as much as I used to. I love them up through Somewhere in Time. After that my tastes have changed. Too many tunes to choose a top 10 but I love their stuff. Reminds me of growing up in the 80s.
