The Songs on the Iron Maiden debut Ranked!

[@nothimagen5099]

Fun ranking George. Like you said no bad songs. I think I would have to put Phantom on top probably Remember Tomorrow second. Very hard to rank. I’ve seen the current Maiden lineup do a couple songs from the debut. Back in 2010 I saw Paul at the Stone Pony and he did the whole album including Sanctuary. Phantom of the Opera I’ve seen played by current Maiden, Paul solo and back in 2012 I went and saw Dennis at a pub north of London and he was so nice, they did an instrumental version of Phantom for me. So, never Clive but I did get to see the rest of the original lineup do Phantom. Thru Dennis I did get to go around to Clive’s house on that trip and visit with Clive and Mimi which was so great. Love all Iron Maiden but especially those Paul albums. Thanks for the vid Bud. Up The Irons!!!

You raise an interesting point when you were going through the booklet. What did Dennis Stratton do on the album? I've been familiar with the album for decades and you know what George, I'm not convinced he even ended up being recorded on it. The guitars on Killers pack more punch and to me that's when I hear the classic Maiden twin guitar sound for the first time. All the memorable guitar parts on the debut (e.g Prowler, Phantom, Transylvania, Strange World) - they really do all sound like classic Dave Murray to me. It wouldn't surprise me if Dave recorded both lead and rhythm parts and Stratton's contribution was minimal. He joined the band in the same month they recorded it, I do know for a fact that they wiped off what he recorded on Phantom of the Opera as they didn't like what he did.

That's a good question but I really don't know, it could be possible what you said is true.

Cool ranking of Iron Maiden songs off of their debut, George.

Great ranking for a great album George. I just went to see them on the 12th in Baltimore. Those guys can still put on an amazing show!

[@georgegsroomofrock9868]

Awesome I forgot you were going! Up The Irons!

[@briankessler3501]

Never bad ranking for any songs on Iron Maiden-s/t record. Stone cold classic.

[@georgegsroomofrock9868]

Thanks! All a matter of opinion!

[@briankessler3501]

@georgegsroomofrock9868 You know it, brother. Only thing not is last three words of my comment. ✌

Hi George!!! cool and tough task doing a ranking of a near perfect album, imo...... to me there are so many highlights like "Remember....", "Phamtom....." and Prowler a short and "simple" song that live still sounds amazing and i wish they would do now another cool instrumental like "Transylvania". cheers and be well

[@georgegsroomofrock9868]

Thanks Cristian! Yeah it was a tough one to do but fun to do also. Thanks for watching!

[@stevesekora]

Such a great ranking. Mine favorites pretty much line up with yours. I have Sanctuary an EP I think. I will look later.

[@MetalNeverDieswithMarkA]

I have to be honest. I have to listen to that album more. Cheers G

[@georgegsroomofrock9868]

Thanks Mark! Get on that Album my friend!

[@This-Is-Music]

Nice ranking there. I wouldn't even know where to begin if I were to rank the song on that album.

[@georgegsroomofrock9868]

It's hard with such a great album! Thanks for watching!

[@drpaulmasonphd]

Cool! For me, and without Sanctuary: 1) Remember Tomorrow, 2) Prowler, 3) Strange World, 4) Phantom of the Opera, 5) Charlotte the Harlot, 6) Transylvania, 7) Iron Maiden, 8) Running Free

Great ranking of the songs from Iron Maiden's debut George! I'd have to say my top 3 would be Phantom of the opera, Sanctuary and Transylvania. Iron Maiden is a great song, so is Remember tomorrow. Metallica did a fantastic version of it on the Hardwired bonus disc, that's actually where I heard the song for the first time! Are you gonna do Killers too? 😁🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@georgegsroomofrock9868]

Yeah I'll do Killers at some point! Thanks Josh!

[@JoshKeech]

@georgegsroomofrock9868 Ah nice that's cool, nice one! You're welcome mate! 😁🤘🏻
