If I had to choose, it would be a tie between the title track and 'Infinite Dreams'. I'll go with 'Infinite Dreams'  ------------- If I say fuck two more times that's forty-six fucks in this fucked up rhyme |

| Man, this one's hard. There's some polls where it's hard to pick an option because nothing deserves a vote, but this one is the exact opposite: 7 songs are getting ripped off no matter how I vote. With that said, I went with Only the Good Die Young, both because it's awesome and because it didn't have any votes yet. |

It took me a minute or so to try and figure out what song that was . Then I realized that it was The Clairvoyant ------------- "Before you see the light you must die!!!!!!!!!!" - Slayer "Today is born the seventh one, born of woman, the seventh son" - Steve Harris |

| The title track is my favorite song from the band aside from the last two on Powerslave. |

I love this album! But I chose Can I Play With Madness because I happy singing, I'm glad, since little like her. But I love the song title (Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son), the middle of it with the lower flow is sensational and The Evil That Men Do too, I smile. ;) |

| I absolutely love the intricate structure of the title track, and the amount of drama the individual parts bring into each other. |

| Really difficult choice, but considering I HAVE to choose one track, I'll say Infinite Dreams (though in reality, I love the entire album). |

| This is certainly one of my favorite traditional metal albums ever. I only prefer one Rainbow album, two Priest albums, and Powerslave to this when speaking of my favorite traditional metal bands. |

Hmmm, there are no songs I like on this album. I normally don't listen any further than Powerslave. |

Hmmm sort of. To me Maiden just really lost their touch after Powerslave. Each to their own though, everyone has different tastes :) |

To me, they started losing their touch on No Prayer for the Dying with Fear of the Dark and The X Factor being okay and Virtual XI being quite bad. When Bruce and Adrian came back, though, a new golden age for the band started. this may be fanboyism, but I can't think of any weak moment on any of their first seven albums. I don't want to hate on Blaze Bayley, because he did a fine job back in the Wolfsbane days (Down Fall the Good Guys is a pretty damn good album), and he did okay on The X Factor. However, his performance on Virtual XI is pretty horrible at times. I just think that his singing style did not fit Iron Maiden's music. It's not his fault that the two Bayley-fronted albums were not super good, because the quality in the songwriting and production on those albums was not up to scratch either. -------------

can't pick a favorite, there are at least 4 songs I can't make up my mind - Infinite Dreams, The Prophecy, The Clairvoyant, The Evil That Men Do. |

| Virtual XI is my least favorite Maiden album as well, but I thought it was okay. I like "The Clansman" a lot, even though I prefer the Rio version. I think you're right about the songwriting on the Blaze albums though. I can't really find a weak song on the first seven either, not even on Killers. |

| No one else showing any love for The Prophecy, so I will. Yes, it's cheesy as fuck, but I was reading a lot of fantasy fiction when this came out. |

My favorite has actually changed since my vote, Moonchild is probably my favorite now. It's so easy to get into. ------------- If I say fuck two more times that's forty-six fucks in this fucked up rhyme |
