    Hallowed Be Thy Name is my favorite song of all time. It's one of those tunes I won't listen to if it comes on the radio in the car. It's sacred and must be played under the right circumstances on my home stereo. Great video!

    'The Duellists' is one of my favorite songs of all-time that people seem to overlook. I think its a very moving, very powerful song. It really captures a sense of desperation, impending tragedy and courage in the face of it all. You get a sense of both the folly and courage of the titular duelist for his determination to fight for his honor unto the death. The guitar solo is just so powerful and so sad at the same time.

  • @neugey
    @neugey 5 лет назад +11

    Kudos to Nick on the Primordial shirt. They've got some great material too! My top ten:
    10) Flight of Icarus - The anthemic dual vocal tracks in chorus and the perfectly placed guitar solos cinch it for me.
    9) Infinite Dreams - The philosophical lyrics and the instrumentation in this song hook me big time.
    8) Wasted Years - A great, great song with a message we all can relate to.
    7) Remember Tomorrow - The one song that works wonderfully whether it's DiAnno or Dickinson singing it. It's that damn good.
    6) Still Life - I find the imagery and storytelling in this song captivating.
    5) Prowler - It's kind of quirky and unsettling, both the music and the subject matter. But it gives it charm and it's crunchy, it rocks.
    4) Revelations - Like Remember Tomorrow,I love the songs that are both a hard rocker and a ballad!
    3) Powerslave - The band in top form, all members playing challenging material.
    2) Hallowed Be Thy Name - So beautiful and epic. I love the shuffling drum beat and the fills by Burr in this one a lot.
    1) Aces High - Still packs a punch that blows many other thrash metal hits right out of the water.
    Honorable Mention/#11: The Prisoner - That big drum intro, and the rest of the song is no slouch either!!!

    From my favorite band of all time, here is my top ten and the order doesn’t matter. 1- Rhyme of the ancient mariner. Holy Jesus Christ!! This is pure poetry at its best and even better with the sounds of guitars and drums!
    2- Empire of the clouds. My brother loves it endlessly. First time I listen to I thought it was a good tune. But the second time it blown me away! 18 plus minute of pure epic metal
    3- Hallowed thy the name what can I say about this one? Probably my fav maiden tune of all time and for sure my fav from NOTB album
    4- The classman. Bruce made it his own! Rock in rio was terrific! Love it
    5- Sign of the cross. Rock in rio’s best song of the setlist in my opinion
    6- Seventh son of a seven. Probably my fav tune of the album
    7- Wasted years. More than one can related to this killer tune
    8- The loneliness of a long distance runner. Always gets me going when I feel down.
    9- the trooper best intro ever! ( head to head with moon child)
    10- phantom of the opera. I discover album a couple of years ago lol. That was the first song I played for the album and I got hooked! Great great tune

    While I agree with you on Remember Tomorrow having some of Dianno's best moments, I think that "Prodigal Son" off of Killers has a similar vibe, but is done even better. We also can't forget Strange World off of the debut. Those 3 songs were Dianno's most melodic and haunting vocals.

    2) Rime of the Ancient Mariner -(so folksy, whimsical, best story telling song, what a journey)
    3) The Trooper -(best song for a mosh pit)
    4) MoonChild -(best song to open a concert with)
    5) The Clansman -(so uplifting, empowering, and oddly relevant to 2020)
    6) Sea of Madness -(one of the best of Harris's bass work)
    7) Dance of Death -(really legitimatized Gers)
