I really don’t need a lot talking about this band, do I? Iron Maiden is one the pillars of heavy metal and have to be one the most popular metal bands ever to come around.
Now what is surprising is that If I asked you what the highest charting single for the band was in the U.S. You might guess “Run to the Hills” or “Number or the Beast” This would make sense as the album that spawned both songs is the band’s best selling album of all time. However, both would be wrong.
The highest charting single came off the follow-up album Piece of Mind. Released in 1983. The song, of course, is “Flight of Icarus“. It peaked out and number 8 or the Rock charts.
It’s not my favorite song by them. Hell, I think “Tropper” is better of the same album. Apparently, the masses disagree. Here is the “Flight of Icarus” for you to enjoy.
What’s your favorite Iron Maiden song?
