Which 3 tracks?
-
Revelations, Still Life, To Tame a Land
-
Revelations, Still Life, To Tame a Land
Same as my picks.
-
Revelations, vocal masterpiece by Bruce, the song that introduced me to heavy metal in 1995
Where Eagles Dare, kickass drum intro and all around awesome song
Still Life, very original and catchy
Whole album is a damn masterpiece. Yes, even Sun and Steel. Ok, Quest for Fire is lame but still Piece of Mind > most eveything that's ever existed in the observable universe
-
To Tame a Land is the best song on PoM and might be my favorite Maiden song of all time (at worst it's #2 or #3).
I selected Eagles and Revelations as the other two.
I'd probably rank the whole album thusly:
1. TTaL
2. Eagles
3. Trooper
4. Revelations
5. Die with Your Boots On
6. Flight of Icarus
7. Sun and Steel
8. Quest for Fire
9. Still Life
I agree wholeheartedly with MirrorMask: "Whole album is a damn masterpiece. . . . Piece of Mind > most eveything that's ever existed in the observable universe." The "worst" song on PoM is better than anything lots of bands ever did.

Easy peasy. Die With Your Boots On, Flight of Icarus, Where Eagles Dare. Amazing trio right there.
-
Revelations, Still Life, To Tame a Land
Same as my picks.
Same. Still Life just missed out.

Same and I would’ve picked them even if The Trooper had been included.

You sure about that Kade? :lol

Where Eagles Dare
Revelations
Die With Your Boots On
-
"Where eagles dare" was the first maiden song I heard, and it grabbed me right away. As soon as the guitars kicked in, I knew they would become one of my favorite bands, and that's never happened before or since. Every other band I listen to needed a bit of introduction first.
"Revelations" and "die with your boots on" were my other two picks. Revelations was the first song i learned to play on bass by ear, but I'm sure I got a lot wrong.

TAC is right again.
;D

1. Where Eagles Dare
2. Still Life
3. Revelations
4. Die with Your Boots On
5. Flight of Icarus

9. Quest for Fire

Nice to see the love for Still Life. Definitely one of their most underrated songs.

Revelations, To Tame a Land and Flight of Icarus. Omitting The Trooper is a bit random to me, it wouldn't make my top 5 on the album.
-
Nice to see the love for Still Life. Definitely one of their most underrated songs.
More than underrated, I'd say forgotten, because it's squeezed between all the insane awesomeness that is present in this album, the one that came before, and the one that came after. It's not as famous as the other songs but diehard Maiden fans basically all love the tune.
-
Still Life has always stood out to me as one of their cooler, more creative and fun songs, despite that it didn't make my top 3 in this poll.

Yup. True.
-
My only wish is that Barry was still around so that I could see his head explode from the fact that Quest for Fire has two votes. :lol
-
Never cared much for the B side (as soon as Bruce starting signing about dinosaurs, I just couldn't take it seriously :rollin), but I will give Still Life another spin based on this poll.
-
Eagles
Revelations
Flight
Or, the opening 3 tracks.

Revelations

Flight of Icarus

They should play QFF live.

Die With Your Boots On
Flight of Icarus
To Tame A Land

I went with Where Eagles Dare, Still Life and To Tame a Land, altho I'm sure that The Trooper would've replaced Still Life if it were an option.
The one thing I don't get is all the votes for Revelations. I'm sorry, but IMO, the studio version sucks! My first Maiden album was Live After Death, and I love pretty much everything on that album, including Revelations. But later, when I got around to picking up Piece of Mind and I listened to the studio version for the first time, I was surprised how much I hated the song. I couldn't figure out why, until I relistened to the live version and saw how sssslllllllooooooooooooooowwwwwwww and plodding the studio version is. Boring! I'll never listen to the studio version, but at least the version on Live After Death breathes some life into it.
-
Some of us were fans of the song before Live After Death! :P

LOL , that's right . I like the slow studio version much better with the mellow verses. LAD sounds like they are just bashing through it.
-
I saw the Powerslave tour, and I distinctly remember that at the end of Revelations, where he goes "All of youuuuuuuuuu", I remember rolling my eyes thinking what a Dio ripoff.
-
Clearly the live version of Revelations is much too fast, doesn't do the song justice. And Bruce's vocal delivery in the studio is amongst his best, while the live version is only good.
But maybe I would think otherwise if I've heard the live version first.

I don't get the reference. It's probably obvious, but not coming to my mind...

Don't worry about it PS, TAC thinks that everything that slightly rings a bell with him equals a ripoff from another artist. Take the main riff for 2 Minutes to Midnight. TAC is convinced they ripped the riff directly from Riot - Swords and Tequila...even though the riffs only have a passing resemblance to each other and it's likely that Maiden had no idea who Riot was. They're pretty obscure (awesome though).
Now he wants you to think that Bruce is ripping off Dio from the middle section of Heaven and Hell - Black Sabbath - Live Evil. It's absurd, but that's our buddy TAC.
I know I'm starting to sound like a broken record, but just gently pat him on the head, and hand him his warm milk. He'll wander off eventually.

Hah hah!! :lol
That's not true. Not really.
I got into Maiden with TNOTB. I got PoM (Gregg, I bought PoM and Riot's Narita at the same time), and even saw the PoM tour.
I loved Iron Maiden, but I did not care for Powerslave at all. I thought the album was so unoriginal. I might have even missed the tour, had Accept not been opening. Anyway, at the end of Revelations when Bruce sings "All of youuuuuuu" I thought it was such a Dio rip and totally unoriginal. That was my thought AT THE CONCERT.
Pretty sure he did something similar on the PoM tour, but I didn't remember it.

:omg: :omg: :angry:
You Sir... are dead to me...... :loser: :biggrin:

IMO the Testament cover of Powerslave destroys the original. :2metal:
