Personally I need something from Killers on there. And a bit less from the noughties. Bruce and Adrian's return wasn't _that_ good.

 

[VoidTerraFirma]

Did a pretty good job on the top 5-7, absolute trash after that.

Haven’t really followed their songs after 88’s 7th Son. Have everything up to that so any 30 to 88 is fine with me.

 

[Andrew Sak]

Hopefully Purgatory made the cut. Rainbow's Gold is a favorite underground song. Needs some volume on good speakers to get the full bass drum experience.
I'll check the list later. I'm expecting it to be predictable. Hallowed Be Thy Name had better be #1.

 

[Motorik]

Where did 'Bring Your Daughter to the Slaughter' place?

Not at all on this one, and thank fuck for that. It should sit at the bottom, roughly around the Blaze Bailey stuff.

 

[BlockInlay]

Run to the Hills got robbed

 

[bsman]

I couldn't even NAME two Iron Maiden songs, let alone 30.

None of the post 2000 stuff should be on the list. Wicker Man would be the only candidate, but for that one, there could be a lot of other older ones

 

[Tralfaz]

Never really followed them, but I do admire their commitment to helping metalheads pass their history tests.

The title track belongs in the top 10, if not top 5.
Wank that list.

There are a few good songs here and there post 2000, but yeah they're nowhere near the 80's stuff. The run they were on back then was just incredible.

Hallowed Be Thy Name had better be #1.

And it is.

 

[Andrew Sak]

And it is.

I'm burned out on that song. It is their Stairway To Heaven though.

 

[Knox in Box]

Phantom of the Opera is great work, but clumsy compared to Rhyme. 2Minutes should be higher and The Trooper lower.

#1 is spot on correct.

The Prisoner is missing for me, take out something I never heard...

 

[Jbird]

I thought that was the band Sabaton?

 

[Motorik]

No 'Bring Your Daughter to the Slaughter', no 'Holy Smoke', no 'Women in Uniform'. It's like they're ignoring the deep cuts. Total normies list.

Maybe should separate art from artist, but Bruce’s politics have really soured my life-long love for Iron Maiden.

Experiencing art has more to do with emotion than with reason, I think.
