Great selection with some "deep cuts" and impeccable playing as always Nico! It may have to do with how I discovered Maiden relatively recently, but a lot of my favourite riffs tend to be from the reunion era: the riff in "When the Wild Wind Blows" after Adrian's solo, the climax of "For the Greater Good of God", and the absolute badassery of the "Book of Souls" main riff. I find it really fascinating how nuanced the "Lord of the Flies" riff is. I always thought it had a quality unlike many other riffs, but I couldn't quite put my finger on it.

Am I weird or is it normal these main short famous riffs of the songs aren't mostly my favorite riffs of Iron Maiden as a huge fan. My favorites are almost always those very melodic bridge riffs in their longer songs that usually come before or after the solos where the fans generally could sing along with "ooo"s, where the 3 guitars beautifully harmonize. I prefer the leading riff of melodic section of Phantom Of The Opera, the two riffs in the middle of Fear Of The Dark, the riff at the end of Sign Of The Cross before the chorus repeats, Dance of Death's riff in the middle of the solos and after the solos, Rime of The Ancient Mariner's riff after the solos, Alexander The Great's mid tempo melodic riff before the crazy solo starts, The Parchment's riff after Bruce's last high note and more melodic riffs in When The Wild Wind Blows, The Clansman, The Nomad, No More Lies, Afraid To Shoot Strangers, etc...

Hi. I am an italian fan since 1986, sorry for my english, it is not easy to choose, maybe my favourite riff is that one of "Phantom of the opera", one of my favourite song. I also think that the intro of " The loneliness of the long distance runner" is a masterpiece and maybe a little underrated. It is harder to choose the best album, even quite impossible: maybe I could choose "Somewhere in time", the first album I heard, but " The number of the beast" is the most iconic as for me of Iron Maiden. "The rhime of the ancient mariner" is the song which creates for me an amazing atmosphere, with the beautiful Coleridge's lirycs and the charming reproductions of the wood's noises in the middle of the song. Thank you for this great video and Up the Irons!

My honorable mention is the intro of Moonchild played live by Adrian (with a ton of delay) in the "Somewhere back in time" tour. Just look for it here on YT. Pure awesomeness!!

Brave and interesting list. Stranger in a Strange Land - great track, fab groove half time feel.. love the solo. They've written so many great riffs... some I think are underrated; Back in the Village, The Evil that Men Do, Caught Somewhere in Time, Paschendale (...mammoth riff...)
