most of their tunes/albums are standards i guess.... but any tunes that you think deserve more appreciation?

22 acacia avenue is solid too but I feel like it's pretty popular.

I love this song. They never play this live though. I read an interview with Adrian Smith and he talked about how he and Bruce enjoyed making and playing the song, but it just wasn't working as a live track. Too bad, it's a fierce song.

This is tough because they're all "standard" to any Maiden fan. But I love the question. My votes go to:

From Here to Eternity
The Duelists (Love the "dueling" guitar wankery in the middle of the song)
Transylvania
The Mercenary
Paschendale

I can keep going, but these are just a few I have never seen live. I think that's what you were going for. Paschendale is on Dance of Death, which I think is an underrated album.

paschendale is an awesome track. so is back in the village. thread has delivered competently.

The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner ftw

Rime Of the Ancient Mariner? does that count as a non-standard?

Blood Brothers is a newer song but its insanely catchy and I get it stuck in my head for days any time I hear it.

the duellists is definitely a forgotten classic to me at least.

the wicker man's chorus gets stuck in my head constantly.

I like 'Moonchild'. how standard is that one?

This song always kicks ass
