What's your favourite Iron Maiden song?

Part of the NWOBHM ( ignoramuses can go ahead and google that :P ), Iron Maiden have rocked for a long time, with many brilliant compositions (yes compositions, as intricately crafted as any symphony you philistines - the cadence of mcbrain's drums, the richness of dickinson's voice, steve harris's incomparable lyrics and I will stop before waxing lyrical about the guitars of Dave Murray, Adrian Smith and Janick Gers....man!). So what is your favourite Iron Maiden song? I ask because frankly I don't think I have one, and I doubt if its possible for me to single any one out. (get it -- "single"? I use it while referring to songs? mmmpff :D, k, never mind) (wrt the inaugural blog post which was in keeping with the spirit of this webpage, I thought I might as well clear the air regarding the only thing meaningful in the whole piece - the title )

Ray Dalio episode with Friedberg was a big hit Government seems to be kind of following his recommendations Antonio Gracias joins the program Legendary investor (Tesla, SpaceX, Uber, Athena, etc) DOGE vs USAID JFK established it via EO in 1961 Programs in ~130 countries Budget under Biden ~doubled from $26B to $45B Insane spending Twitter takeover ~$12.5B in debt Breaking even Biggest turnaround in history Company doing well No one came into the office - pens had gone dry in the conference room due to unuse Flowers were impeccable - 1000s of people’s worth of food being cooked everywhere and thrown into trash and not being even given to homeless Fixed the woke mind virus This is like a warmup for DOGE First he thought democracy was turning into bureaucracy Instead its becoming a kleptocracy Pure corruption Similar to 1941 Truman committe/commission Formed...
