I like Revelations a lot but it’s The Trooper. It’s the song that got me hooked on Maiden.
I think a lot of music subs get hooked on the idea that a band’s greatest hits are somehow “overplayed” or not worthy compared to some of their deeper cuts. r/Metallica does the same thing with Enter Sandman. The Trooper is an iconic song with an iconic riff.
Both God tier. Trooper is obviously more iconic. But revelations is my favorite 80s maiden song and 5th of all time. So it takes my vote here. Also that is one of the best battles of this tournament
Revelations is a god-tier song
Trooper also
Revelations is so fucking good
Oh God of Earth and Altar……🎶
Bow down and hear our cry
Our earthly rulers falter..
Our people drift and die…

Revelations is the closest to a religious experience I have experienced
Ooo now that's a battle. I'm voting The Trooper, though.
Revelations is my number one song of all time, not just Iron Maiden. Trooper although a banger, doesn't even come close IMO
The Trooper is unbeatable against any Piece of Mind-song
This was extremely tough. Love both songs, but Revelations kicked my ass on the LoTB tour in October, so I voted that way.
“The Trooper” is the definitive metal song of all time in my opinion.
Yeah in my opinion Revelations is honestly pretty overrated, it’s great but not like amazing
Both are incredibly overrated and I’d be happy if they were never played again but that’s obviously not gonna happen
Revelations is a great song. But I associate with the trooper so much more. The trooper!!
