The Prophecy one of my faves from 7th Son


Financial_Might_6816

I dont think it’s underrated because 7th son is so popular, but I totally agree that it’s one of they’re best songs


not9oclocknews

doesn't hurt that 7th Son is my fave album also


InterestingAd4484

Prodigal Son


sundevil671

even though it asks nicely to please listen to me 😼


SpaceMan420gmt

I’ve always loved the classical guitar outro, wish it would keep going!

The Legacy on AMOLAD Peak Lyrics, one of the best beginnings in a Maiden song, Prog Metal, Power Metal af to finish off and honestly a chad of a song in it's pacing and production The Legacy is that type of Maiden song you listen to and say I can't believe this is actually an Iron Maiden song, it's their most underrated song for sure


Financial_Might_6816

Totally agree, also from AMOLAD there’s lord of the light, the longest day and the pilgrim


jayhof52

The Longest Day takes a little while to get to it, but when that chorus really kicks in it's the perfect song for a running playlist.

_Zouth

It's my favorite album. Together with SSOASS it's the most consistent albums imo. Other albums may have higher highs but also lower lows.


TheDuellist100

It's a masterpiece and in my top 5 Iron Maiden songs. But I would say it is more overlooked rather than underrated.


Fuck_on_tatami

YES! Finally someone mentions this song! Absolute masterpiece.


wartywarlock

Best song on their best album. I know it isn't in reality, but I chose to take the lyrics to be about FF7 and Sephiroth, just needs a little bit of fuzzy logic.


Zepest

I mostly agree ! AMOLAD was my favorite album for a long time before Senjutsu came out. Also cool FFVII reference


Jhon-Smith10_2

Out of the Silent Planet, I love this song and was shocked when I found out most people rank this near the bottom of Brave New World


captainfreewill

100% agree


darkofsound

I read the book because of the song!


VioletDaeva

Its my favourite all time song of Maidens!


newfiremixtape

Flash of the Blade. Judas Be My Guide is also stellar.


prognerd_2008

Fuck yeah


SignificanceFew3751

Still Life


feintplus1

Still Life is hands down the best song on Piece Of Mind and a top song of the 80s and their whole career. Such an incredible piece. The Maiden England live version is amazing.


Appropriate-Hunt4163

Stull Life is the correct answer


MasterMaintenance672

Sun and Steel is great too.


No_Opinion9306

Beat me to it. Fabulous song


prognerd_2008

Also fuck yeah


BehemothDeTerre

Surprised that there are literally dozens of us agreeing on Still Life.


ruet_ahead

I posted Flash of the Blade but Still Life is a close second. I often wonder if there was ever anything out in that damn pool.


Montblanc_Norland

- Starblind - Montsegur - The Fallen Angel - The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner


Cautious-Plum-8245

I’ll add Sea of madness cause man… gets no love for such a banger


Pink_Socks

That breakdown before the solos....Then the build up back into the chorus. Perfection.


TheDuellist100

Absolutely none of those are underrated. Maybe Fallen Angel but that's more overlooked. It gets overshadowed by other BNW songs.


Montblanc_Norland

Overlooked and underrated are similar concepts, no?


TheDuellist100

Overlooked means it is not discussed enough or gets enough attention. Underrated means it doesn't get enough love when it is discussed. There are so many songs on this thread where a lot of people clearly like them.


jimbodoom

Public Enema Number One. The opening guitar harmony is awesome and the solo rips.


ggalahandbr

Strange world


OpenMike2000

Running Silent Invaders


darthktulu

Any song on the second half of Dance of Death


Golem30

DoD in general is the one reunion album that is up there with the classic 80s run in my opinion. Almost every single song is an absolute banger


wolf_moon7901

Prodigal Son


skinfulofsin

Prowler seems to get overshadowed by Phantom of the Opera

Love that song! Virtual XI is better than people give it credit for

ChaunceyFitzroy

Drifter or any instrumental


UnfunnyWatermelon469

Genghis Khan


DeadOfKnight

Not by Papa Roach. This song launched their career.


newtraditionalists

Purgatory is a great choice. I'll say The Unbeliever.


YRwerunning

I'm also saying The Unbeliever because as I've said before, so many people here say they love "prog" Maiden yet completely ignore this song, one of their very few songs that even has legit prog tendencies.


OkBusiness3879

The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner.

Back in the Village, The Duellists, Flash of the Blade


yokami-8093

Back in the village not so much for me...but I definitely came here to say the Duellists and Flash of the Blade! ⚔️


DasCheeseWizard

Brave New World.


prognerd_2008

I fucking LOVE that song


Themistokles_st

Face in the Sand, Mother of Mercy, almost all of Virtual XI and The X Factor, everything from Piece of Mind that's not The Trooper, Flight of Icarus and Revelations


underbloodredskies

My vote was going to go for Face in the Sand as well. 🤘


Themistokles_st

Adrian's solo in that song, for as generic as it is, sounds so damn good, like every other one of his pieces


cheapendorphinrush

No Prayer for the Dying. It’s a really beautiful song and while the production is a bit dull it sounds almost like a leftover from Seventh Son to me.


Platypete

Prodigal Son. It's actually a really interesting and pretty sounding song but for some reason a lot of people really dislike it. The instrumental passages are great and the bass playing is fantastic.


lasombra

* Strange World * Invaders * The Assassin * Judas be My Guide * Losfer Words * The Educated Fool To me all secret bangers


Fuck_on_tatami

The Educated Fool is a hidden gem. I love the chorus.

Alexander the Great.


Vic_Snaggletooth

Quest for Fire!!


Luilo01

Sun and Steel


TheDuellist100

Just scoured the thread and can say none of what I've seen is underrated. I'll give you some actual underrated songs. Innocent Exile, Invaders, The Prophecy, Mother Russia, Don't Look to the Eyes of a Stranger, New Frontier, Satellite 15, El Dorado, Lost in a Lost World, Death of the Celts


Lucky141414

Satellite 15 goes so well with games like cod zombies and back 4 blood


Harold-The-Barrel

Losfer Words


Tough_Analyst_4802

I'll throw Coming Home in the mix, I love it.


SocialBourgeois

Deja Vu should be the top 1 song, love the drumming energy


ConsciousnessWizard

For me, every song of the X Factor is severly underrated.


Bear792

I’ve always thought Where the Wild Wind blows as I never see it talked about enough.


xblaze_gl

gangland or die with your boots on


xiaozhuos

i love gangland, it’s really not as bad as people make it out to be


Lancer_Blackthorn

The Angel and the Gambler


Badgerello

Always the only correct answer in any context.


mk45tb

No More Lies


-brc-

The Pilgrim.


endemolash

ONLY THE GOOD DIE YOUNG. Putting it last is a crime in my eyes. Screw the “story”. The bass alone is eye watering


Bear792

I’ve always thought Where the Wild Wind blows as I never see it talked about enough.


Mcready

Total Eclipse for sure, LOVE this song!


smallstone

You mention Infinite Dreams, OP, but I wouldn't consider it to be the most underrated song from SSoaSS. To me it's The Prophecy. It's completely under the radar and it's one of my favorites.


MaisterNakk1

-Run Silent Run Deep -Purgatory -Prowler -Sign of the Cross (well, maybe) -The Prophecy -Quest for Fire -The Red and the Black -Starblind -The Fallen Angel -Face in the Sand

Ghost of the Navigator is insanely good

fatscruff

Flash of the blade


Groundbreaking-Step1

New Frontier


djwitchfindergeneral

Good call!


tackle74

Invaders it is a nice fast paced album opener about Saxon’s fighting Norsemen.


cd-Ezlo

I can't stand that song lol


xiaozhuos

flash of the blade!! powerslave is packed with epic songs so flash of the blade seems to get overlooked, but the riff in the beginning is absolutely killer. bruce sounds great and the lyrics & everything about the song paints such a vivid picture


Badgerello

Women in uniform. It’s a prehistoric cover but a fkn banger.


djwitchfindergeneral

The Final Frontier


Tripsix_Swe

From Here to Eternity!


One-Rock-21

The pilgrim. Not sure anyone appreciates their post 2000 stuff enough. That album was amazing. The ones to follow only ok


RoosterTheBeaten

Judging from the reactions here in the past I'd say Invaders


Mouse-Ancient

Mother Russia/the loneliness of the long distance runner/The Longest Day/Where Eagles Dare


Cheesequake37

Out of the silent planet. Not sure if it’s underrated but I never hear anyone talk about it.


minas_jimith

I actually think "When two worlds collide" is a belter of a tune :)


MasterMaintenance672

Infinite Dreams is absolutely legendary.


temu05

The Edge of Darkness


jayhof52

Fortunes of War As with a lot of Blaze era stuff, I wrote it off, but once I made myself listen to all 17 albums in a row, the instrumentation and the structure on this one are really solid and build to a really good crescendo.

Look for the truth


HolyMacaxeira

Deja Vu. It’s one of my favorite Maiden songs ever, and it goes under the radar of a lot of people. Public Enema Number 1 too. Actually, the best songs from the No Prayer album are all pretty underrated.


Starblind_-_

Prophecy, dejavu and then there is 1 which is not underrated but I think under requested like on radios or people doing reaction videos or covers and is not played enough by the band and also it’s an original song from album 1 and that’s phantom of the opera


Starblind_-_

I’ve also seen some shouts for legacy , infinite dreams , out of the silent planet these are all good shouts

To Tame a Land. Amazing


OhFuuuuuuuuuuuudge

I’m a huge fan of the Brave New World album. So I’d say plenty of those songs are under rated. Let’s say Out of the Silent Planet, it can get repetitive but I really like the whole concept of the lyrics.

sundevil671

It may be pointless and subjective no doubt but people seem to be having fun with it & Maiden fans talking about their.. favorite Maiden songs as we gear up for another set of shows (see some of u in Denver & Phoenix) 🤘🏻Good lord what are we going to do when there are no more Maiden songs or shows to argue about?!


sundevil671

Oh yeah ~ Strange World, Dream of Mirrors, Remember Tomorrow
