Eddie Trunk's Iron Maiden Top 20

Today Eddie Trunk reveals HIS top 20 Maiden songs ranked from #20 to #1 on Sirius XM 106.

What would be my top 20? I'd need to think about it some...

My fav is kinda out the norm. The song iron maiden has always been my go to. Children of the dammed second. But whatever old song is on at the time is my fav after that.

I cant make a list of best songs or albums. There are some better than others, but it really depends as on my mood. This applies to any great band that has been around and has a deep playlist.

That's a tough one!! I could rank my favorite albums but it would be harder to rank my favorite songs. Too many to choose from to land at just 20. I may have to try one day, but I have a feeling it will take hours and a giant eraser as I try and put them in order.

Here's Trunk's top 20: Attachment 6108

Thanks for posting the list kkkreg. 6 songs from the first 2 albums on his list. Only 1 post reunion. After Infinite Dreams, I'd have a hard time numbering my favorites, but it would probably include a few that came out after the reunion like Out of the Silent Planet, Greater Good of God, Thin Line Between Love and Hate, possibly either Book of Souls or Red and the Black. So many awesome Maiden songs to choose from. \m/ But to be fair, if I ever tried to list my favorite Metallica songs, it would be dominated with older material. So to each their own.

Here's mine:

1 Hallowed Be Thy Name
2 The Number of the Beast
3 The Trooper
4 Wasted Years
5 Revelations
6 2 Minutes to Midnight
7 The Evil That Men Do
8 Aces High
9 Killers
10 Wrathchild
11 Flight of Icarus
12 Run to the Hills
13 Powerslave
14 Iron Maiden
15 Children of the Damned
16 The Wicker Man
17 Fear of the Dark
18 Phantom of the Opera
19 Rime of the Ancient Mariner
20 Heaven Can Wait

Great list Joe. Tough one to call for most folks. Mine:

1 2 Minutes to Midnight
2 Hallowed Be Thy Name
2 The Number of the Beast
3 The Trooper
4 Wasted Years

21 Satellite 15... The Final Frontier
22 For the Greater Good of God
23 No More Lies
24 Out of the Silent Planet
25 Phantom...or Iron Maiden!

Had to make it a 25/26/27 and even the struggling! Really wanted to have whole first side of Piece of Mind and whole second side of Powerslave in order - all my playlists have this!

Mine seems to differ a lot from the above ones:
1) For the Greater Good of God
2) Hallowed Be Thy Name
3) Empire of the Clouds
4) Paschendale
5) Blood Brothers
6) Ghost of the Navigator
7) The Talisman
8) Starblind
9) Dance of Death
10) The Number of the Beast
11) Infinite Dreams
12) Sign of the Cross
13) Lord of Light
14) No More Lies
15) The Trooper
16) Still Life
17) Sea of Madness
18) The Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg
19) The Great Unknown
20) Rainmaker
