Lol bloodbrothers is a horrible song much like fear of the dark but I get that they must be great live songs so I will forgive you. Fucking hate them personally though lol.

Between Love and Hate Can't think of what else to put in the top 10 it's really hard. I'm just gonna leave it like that. I kind of like every song on AMOLAD but don't know if I'd put any in the top. The only ones that I honestly can't stand are The Final Frontier (song, not album), Different World, and Wildest Dreams is just really annoying to me.

As a new iron maiden fan I’m making my own top 10 so you can show me better songs 1 empire of the clouds Yeah it’s good but a song good for 18 minutes straight is mind blowing for me and was pretty dam close making me to a iron maiden fan 2 rime of the ancient Marriner I don’t know what this song is about and I still god dam love the song and best solo I know of for iron maiden 3 trooper We all know this song this made me to a iron maiden fan so that’s why it is number 3 it is the most popular song for iron maiden for a good reason 4 clansman This song is another song I down right say it’s underrated it’s to hard to explain its a hear it to believe it 5 fear of the dark This is a song I wished I heard in my childhood and it’s the first album name cover in my top 10 6 Transylvania I love instrumentals and the more I listen to this the more impressed I am how they made it so good 7 book of souls Down right underrated for me any song that is above 10 mins for iron maiden is a auto fantastic rating for me also you have to really try to like this song you won’t like it at the first try 8 sign of the cross This one is the same reasons why I like book of souls a lot above 10 the mins and takes a while to like this song the only thing I will add is there half instrumentals that’s why I love those songs 9 powerslave Another cover art name this one used to blew my mind now it is I say pretty cool song now 10 somewhere in time This one needs no words the only reason why it’s number 10 is its lost my effect on me blowing me away and gotten exposed to the songs flaws that are to difficult to explain in this comment That’s my top 10 I’m 100% sure you have a better list

[@ceratedraptor6299]

I recommend anything from the 1st two albums and here is my top ten if you want to check any of these out. This comment is 8 months late so I guess you have probably already heard these: 10. Still Life (Piece Of Mind 1983) 9. Brave New World (Brave New World 2000) 8. Strange World (Iron Maiden 1980) 7. Wrathchild (Killers 1981) 6. Phantom Of The Opera (Iron Maiden 1980) 5.

[@tylercharbonneau8178]

Loved watching this Questy. Was crossing off songs while watching this and noticed you missed 3 songs I believe. Total Eclipse [which was originally a b-side but is now on NotB], When the River Runs Deep and Different World/Wildest Dreams. At 17:22 you talk about Different World but show the Dance of Death album. I believe you’re actually talking about Wildest Dreams. The other song is not mentioned at all the rest of the video. Would love to rank all these songs as well. Maiden are the GOAT in metal!

[@Bellpipe41]

I know there were time constraints for vinyl, but I believe Harris later regretted choosing Gangland to stay on the album over Total Eclipse. It’s a great song, and I’m glad they put it back in for the CD release.

[@ThatGooseNPC]

My top 10: 1. Hallowed be thy name 2. Brave new world 3. Somewhere in Time 4. Revelations 5. Lord of the Flies 6. The Pilgrim 7. Number of the Beast 8. The Red and the Black 9. Fear of the Dark 10. The Trooper

[@DarrenHeywood]

I’m guessing you already know but at 17:23 you made a little error. You said Different World was from Dance of Death and you also put the Dance of Death album art on the screen (it’s from A Matter of Life and Death). Otherwise, great video, it would be impossible for me to rank all of the songs.

[@jacv8183]

Agree with you on number # 1, been a Maiden fan since the beginning!

Brave New World is also my favourite Maiden album. Great list, and thank you for putting run to the hills so low!

Agree - Rime of the ancient mariner! Has been my favourite since I bought the album in 1984. It has everything that Maiden has to offer, and then it has to be long.

Great list dude. So glad you took on this task! I'm tempted to do the same at some point! Fingers crossed for the Dream Theater song ranking as well!

I think someone needs to come check on you, mate, you ok?

That is the most insane list I've ever seen. I respect your opinions as a die-hard Maiden fan but wow. Did you intentionally omit classics like The Number of the Beast, Aces High, Wasted Years, Powerslave, Rime, etc.?

when i was 4-5 years old. My mom drove me to the kindergarden everyday and i put in the powerslave cd on and played rime of the ancient mariner.

[@Transilvanian90]

Excellent list! Really happy to see the Brave New World - Dance of Death - A Matter of Life and Death albums getting the love they deserve, some epic material on there. I'd have ranked Childhood's End and Only the Good Die Young higher myself, but otherwise I largely concur with your placements.

[@Dan_Metalhead]

Great list 👌 But why didn't you include instrumentals? I'm a big fan of Transylvania, Losfer Words, they're fucking amazing

Phantom of the opera live is my preferred version must say

[@AndBassForAll1]

Great work. Why didn't you rank the instrumentals? (Transylvania, Genghis Khan, Losfer Words...)

[@hectorescobar9450]

Lord of light!?????? That’s fkn bizarre

[@metalheadwill9633]

You should rank every Metallica song because they are my favourite band

[@kurtemeigh]

Yikes!!! Sun and Steel is an awesome song!!!

My top 1 can i play with madness 2 the wickerman 3 the evil that men do 4 2 minutes to midnight 5 blood brothers 6 powerslave 7 different world 8 wasted years 9 the trooper 10 the number of the beast

[@bluedog1337]

rainmaker used to be my all time favorite too, now it's ghost of the navigator. woah its cool that those both used to be your favorite maiden songs too. actually wasted years was my first favorite maiden song. those are probably my top 3 still though. solid list

[@REDOYSTERCULT302]

My top 10 would be 10 back in the village 9 sea of madness 8 hallowed be thy name 7 phantom of the opera 6 the longest day 5 revelations 4 moonchild 3 rime of the ancient mariner 2 purgatory 1 paschendale

[@jakegelber7584]

You forgot to add when the river runs deep to your list

[@jakegelber7584]

not gonna go through all of the songs but there were a lot missing

[@father042]

I expected Quest for Fire to be at last place

[@franco4913]

Infinite Dreams is the best Iron Maiden’s song.

[@Joe-tm2qp]

Where Eagles Dare and 22 Acacia Ave are wayyy to low….BUT I totally agree with Blood Brothers and Paschendale. Probably my 1 and 2.

[@danielthenorwegianguy]

Fear is the key is very underrated, especially considering it was written in memory of Freddie Mercury, commenting on the AIDS epidemic. “No one care until someone famous dies”

[@hellblazer1313]

I can’t take this seriously from the first pick. WEEKEND WARRIOR OVER SUN AND STEEL?

[@WelshJotun]

SUN AND STEEL?! The worst? Lol! I was expecting Quest for Fire but suspected Sun and Steel secondarily. I still think The Angel and the Gambler is the worst, but you have it pretty low.

[@goingefishingteam6741]

Coming home is easy top 50 for me

[@madcinder257]

the thing that stood out for me the most was that you ranked the only Maiden song with the words "Birthday Presents" in it higher than the only Maiden song with the word "Dinosaurs" in it.

How can you hate Lord of Light? Seriously. Get your shit together and listen to it more! Lord of Light is easily in my top 5.

[@f.g.e.2976]

I think The Great Unknown is a great song and it's my favourite from The Book Of Souls 😂

[@stephenwatson2806]

Even if i had had a lobotomy i still would never put anything post 87 somewhere in time album above The Prisoner. To me after somewhere in time maiden fell of the cliff and stopped being cool. Everyone at school lost interest in them -they just "lost it".
