It's gonna be Fear Of The Dark.

Few years ago for the 500 greatest rock songs Fear was #6...Hallowed didn't even make the list!

But I do think it will be in the top 5 here though.

Hallowed Be Thy Name is generally considered their greatest song among Maiden fans and even metal fans rate it as one of the best metal songs of all time so that's quite surprising.

Gotta love that the Finns would vote Fear of the Dark in the top 6 rock songs of all time though.

Fear Of The Dark has always been a big song in Finland for some reason...Maiden even chose a version recorded in Finland for the Real Live Dead One and the Best Of The Beast.

I have always pondered about the admiration for Hallowed Be Thy Name to be honest. It's a great song but it's not among their best...also the fact that it's been overplayed to death live doesn't help either.

I'd forgotten all about that one, I haven't heard it since the 80s!

I doubt it will feature in this poll... but it would be nice! :)

So it is quite possible Wasted Years will also make it to the list.

Not only possible but it DID make it.

5. Wasted Years


I do have to say things are getting interesting on this list now. This has been much less greatest hits list than any of the others...which I do belive is due to the shorter voting time.

Anyways 4 places left...which means one of these 2 Minutes To Midnight, Aces High, The Trooper, Hallowed Be Thy Name or Fear Of The Dark will be left out...

I'm pleasantly surprised. I had it on my personal list, I didn't think it would make the actual list.

I love Flight of Icarus, but I don't see it making the list.

The list is a very unpredictable, I'm not sure anything is guaranteed for the top 4!

Best album, in my book.

But Charger's right, there's going to be some heartbreak with whoever's not invited to the top 4.

Hmmm... Flight, Still Life, Quest For Fire and Sun And Steel are all weak to bad songs...

To Tame A Land on the otherhand....now that is a masterpiece!

But still Piece Of Mind is on the bottom end of my Maiden albums list.
