Iron Maiden Popular Song Rankings [2026]

Phantom Of The OperaIron Maiden41rank/position

Phantom of the Opera (2015 Remaster)

A track included on their debut album Iron Maiden, which went Gold in Japan, the U.S., and Germany, and Platinum in the U.K.

It’s a number packed with advanced musical elements: it moves forward on a shuffle beat, suddenly shifts to an 8-beat rhythm, transitions from a unison guitar-and-bass solo into odd time signatures, and more.

Despite its complexity, the song also stands out for its beautiful choral work, making it a piece that showcases the unfathomable artistry of Iron Maiden.

The undulating bass phrase is striking.

It’s included on the 2010 album The Final Frontier.

The guitars, drums, and vocals are all aggressive.

It’s hard to believe this was made by veterans about 35 years after the band formed.

Iron Maiden – Speed Of Light (Official Video)

How about some fast-paced, classic heavy rock? It’s included on their 16th album, The Book of Souls, released in 2015.

The emotional, “crying” guitar phrases are really cool.

Listening to it before an important match might pump you up.
