Surprised to see Moonchild so high. And no Wrathchild? That song is legendary.

children of the damned won? thats a nice surprise, that song is much better than two minutes. and moonchild came in 7th, eerie?

2 Minutes to Midnight is my favorite Maiden song, but I'm not gonna bitch that it's in second, that's still perfectly respectable

I think this actually turned out really cool, this list is so much better than the typical 1. Hallowed Be Thy Name, 2.-134. whatever.

Well the original reason for me doing this is I was thinking about how whenver someone does a "What's the best Iron maiden song ever?" thread, it always, always, always is Hallowed Be Thy Name. I guess it started with me thinking what the 2nd best one would be, and that got me thinking since Iron Maiden songs can separated into the epics and non-epics (and since Hallowed falls under epic), I was wondering what people would think the best of the latter group would be.

Hah, I didn't expect that. That's nice.

Surprised Invaders made the cut. And that Wicker Man didn't.

Happy to see Stranger In A Strange Land high up.

Good list.
