Almost impossible to do... but I tried it anyway. Ranking all Iron Maiden songs in 1 list. Now this is my opinion and I have no doubt that everyone will have a different opinion on which song is better or worse but as I said this is my personal list.

You don't have to agree (in fact I would find it really strange if you would rank them exactly the same as me).

Also important to note is that I left out songs like Women In Uniform, Virus, etc. Only the songs that were a part of the actual CD/LP. So no B side songs or seperately released tracks.

1.Iron Maiden - Infinite Dreams

2.Iron Maiden - Paschendale

3.Iron Maiden - Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son

4.Iron Maiden - Hallowed Be Thy Name

5.Iron Maiden - Empire Of The Clouds

1.Iron Maiden - Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son

2.Iron Maiden - Brave New World

3.Iron Maiden - The Book Of Souls

4.Iron Maiden - Piece Of Mind

5.Iron Maiden - Somewhere In Time

Simple ranking of all my favorite albums. Favorite song from the album in the notes. Sure to change/expand as I learn and explore more within metal.
2023: This was starting to get too long so I split it into separate lists for albums at each ranking 10 to 7. This list will no longer be updated.

Pretty self-explanatory, with a couple caveats: first, this is mostly just a list of my favorite metal bands in approximate order (after the top 10 or so the order matters far less), with extra weight given to influence and timelessness of sound; and second, the albums selected are not necessarily the band's "best" album, or even my personal favorite -- they are the albums that I feel best represent the band's classic sound and/or well-represent the span of their career. List includes all sub-genres of metal and some post-metal metal. Feel free to spew your hatred below. \m/ (xx) \m/

1.Black Sabbath - Paranoid

2.Iron Maiden - Powerslave

3.Metallica - Master Of Puppets

4.Judas Priest - Screaming For Vengeance

5.Slayer - Reign In Blood
