Is it just me or is hallowed be thy name overrated?

The Man who Would Be King strikes some kind of deep cord with me and I can't get enough of that song either.

I have to agree on that one, i absolutely love the man who would be king.

Also, holy shit this thread is alive again

Rank your favorite 20 songs and discuss...

I saw that, felt tempted for a second, and then promptly walked away to preserve my sanity.

Its too hard to rank them. I personally just put up the songs i most listen to, and in general prefer over anything else when listening to music

Even that seems like testing the Fates somehow . . . I'll think about it.

It certainly does feel like your betraying some other songs by not putting them on the list lmao. Almost every IM song in general is great, and id rather listen to them than most other bands usually, unless im looking for something specific.

eah not just you
Rime of the ancient mariner got to me after listening it to 3 times
i fall inlove with Powerslave half way through
Hallowed be thy name is good song but i still havent started loving it(but i'm feeling the conversion)

Hallowed Be Thy Name is an amazing song and definitely one of my favorites, but I think it's a mistake to try to "rank" the songs of any great band, especially one as long-lived as Iron Maiden. When somebody asks me my favorite Maiden song, I pretty much just start listing titles -- because, the truth is, I have lots of favorites. Hallowed is certainly one of them, but so is Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Die With Your Boots On, Infinite Dreams, Look for the Truth, The Educated Fool, Ghost of the Navigator, Blood Brothers, Dance of Death, The Legacy, and I'm just going to stop now. Truth is, my favorite is whichever of my "favorites" I am currently listening to. Each album has at least one or two songs (but usually more) that really grab hold of me every time I listen, and most of those songs do so in a different way so that I can't consider any one of them to be "better" than the others.
