The top ten Iron Maiden songs

(according to me)

10. Aces High - Powerslave
9. Fear of the Dark - Fear of the Dark
8. Wasted Years - Somewhere in Time
7. The Trooper - Piece of Mind
6. 2 Minutes to Midnight - Powerslave
5. The Wicker Man - Brave New World
4. The Number of the Beast - The Number of the Beast
3. Phantom of the Opera - Iron Maiden (Yes, I am going with the version sung by Paul Di'Anno, with Dennis Stratton's Queen-esque backing vocals.)
2. Revelations - Piece of Mind (The live version from Flight 666 is also quite awesome.)
1. Hallowed be Thy Name - The Number of the Beast (Not just the greatest Iron Maiden song, but the greatest metal song. Ever.)

Songs that just didn't quite make the cut include Powerslave, Remember Tomorrow and Can I Play With Madness. Also Drifter and Die With Your Boots On are way, way underrated, but there was no way I could actually put them in a top 10 list. And no, Run To The Hills was never in the running, because it is overrated.
