10) Phantom Of The Opera (Iron Maiden, 1980) The monster track on Iron Maiden’s self-titled debut album, Phantom Of The Opera is a titanic, seven-minute riff-fest lit up by brilliant twin-lead interplay between Dave Murray and Dennis Stratton. A vehicle for the twin guitars of Dave Murray and Dennis Stratton, Harris’ insistent bass, Clive Burr’s metronome beat and the interjections of Di’Anno, its lengthy instrumental sections are multi-paced yet rarely less then pummelling in their intensity – it’s enough to give Andrew Lloyd Webber nightmares. Stranger still, it ended up on a Lucozade advert starring decathlete Daley Thompson. “I first heard Phantom Of The Opera when that first Maiden album came out in 1980, and it was so different to anything else out there,” guitarist tells Metal Hammer. “The riffs, the arrangement, the cycles it goes through I love it, man. It’s such a unique song, it’s my favourite by them.” 9) Run To The Hills (The Number Of The Beast, 1982) The story of European settlers’ travails in the so-called New World, Run To The Hills is told from the perspective of both the foreign invaders and the oppressed Native Americans (although Maiden use the non-PC expression ‘redskins’ in the lyric).

Their debut release with vocal powerhouse Bruce Dickinson, Run To The Hills gave the band their first Top 10 hit, reaching No.7, in 1982. “It’s a song that I have sung many times! I can hit all of the notes in that one, but I’m not comparing myself to Bruce – I’d never do that,” Lacuna Coil’s tells Metal Hammer. “It’s just a fucking great song, an all-time classic. I don’t want people to think of me as a weirdo who picked some obscure B-side, so I’m going with one of the greatest songs ever made.” “Listening to this as a young man on headphones on my parents stereo felt a little bit awkward,” Blaze Bayley tells Classic Rock.

“I started to have the feeling that this music would break the stereo, because it was so different to the Satchmo my father listened to. Dickinson was the future voice of maiden.

This song still gives me some of the excitement of the first few times I heard it even now.”. 8) 2 Minutes To Midnight (Powerslave, 1984) A furious anti-war protest song with a lyric that hits as hard as the music, 2 Minutes To Midnight is, in essence, Iron Maiden’s. Targ reshebnik s1 0. No matter that the bludgeoning riff somewhat echoes Riot’s charging Swords & Tequila, this is classic Maiden through and through. “It combines the very best of Maiden,” guitarist Tom Morello tells Metal Hammer.

“There’s metal fury, technicality it’s a big metal banger! It became this huge MTV hit despite never going anywhere near a major key, and it has one of the best ever Maiden riffs and choruses.” 7) The Number Of The Beast (The Number Of The Beast, 1982) Offering chills and thrills in equal measure, The Number Of The Beast was inspired by a nightmare Steve Harris had after watching the film Damien: Omen II. And no, that’s not Vincent Price doing the sinister spoken-word intro (Maiden couldn’t afford his fee). In fact it’s Barry Clayton, who used to read ghost stories on Capital Radio.
