I need to listen to Total Eclipse some more. I think I've only heard it a couple times and promptly forgot about it. I remember liking it.

I'm in the same boat. I think I've heard that song maybe twice.

If Hallowed Be Thy Name wasn't the crowning achievement of metal music, I'd totally give my vote to Total Eclipse. I've always enjoyed the shit out of that track.

And I love every song on here, it was one of the first albums I'd ever bought. Invaders? Kills. Gangland? Slays.

Hallowed Be Thy Name. But, Prisoner is right at it's heels. Hallowed, upon first listen, just blew me away! "Running looooowwwww..."

I'm surprised at this poll. I never knew that Hallowed was held in such high esteem.

Don't misunderstand, I think it's a great song, I just thought the title track would have gotten the majority of the votes.

Total Eclipse is a total snoozer, imo. Gangland has much more energy.

It's a tough choice between Run to the Hills and Hallowed be Thy Name, but I ended up going with the former.

That's a problem with an album this good. Every song is worthy of a vote.

Run to the Hills. I never tire of that song.

Hallowed be thy name. The whole album is great. No instrumentals. I'm a bit surprised that run to the hills isn't taking it.

Hallowed Be Thy Name. As others have said, I would place Children of the Damned as a close second.

You must have missed every Iron Maiden topic in the history of the internet. It's pretty much always been the consensus BEST MAIDEN SONG EVER.

Pre-internet? Well, people had funny opinions and didn't always get bullied into thinking the same way.

Still, it's one of the best songs Steve ever wrote. Might even be the best?

I am surprised that 22 acacia avenue is ignored! This is an awesome maiden track.

It has 4 votes.

The well-defended "Gangland" is the only one with a goose egg Smile

That's because it should have been the B side to Run To The Hills and not Total Eclipse!

I just noticed someone voted for Total Eclipse. Who is this mystery voter?

It's no mystery. The voter posted he chose "Total Eclipse."

I listened to it again and it's good. It does kind of plod along at times.
