Planet Rock listeners voted for their best 20 songs last week…..list in comments.
Paschendaele is a bit of an odd choice and personally can’t stand Bring Your Daughter ….give me The Clairvoyant or The Evil That Men Do any day of the week.
Very skewed to their 80s material which overlooks a lot of good stuff after that.
Maiden!!

Agree on the 80s skew, and where else would Number Of The Beast been placed apart from 666.
Glaring omission: If Eternity Should Fail
Bring Your Daughter may be their only UK number 1 single, but has no place in the top 20.
Whilst I have a few of the 80’s albums, I was never a massive fan of this period, but really love their later period stuff (maybe as they became more “proggy”?) – Book Of Souls is a superb album. I would go with “Empire Of The Clouds” as their best.
I agree – was surprised Empire didn’t appear but maybe it’s too long to hold the attention of the average fan who, judging by the list, seem to prefer the shorter songs.
