There were three songs and the word “both” and while editing that I added a song I see placing high, if not topping polls on Iron Maiden songs, with an iconic live performance from Bruce and Eddie

Added DiffLines:

* SacredCow: "Hallowed Be Thy Name" tends to have this status, as it's universally considered to be Maiden's best song and among one of the greatest heavy metal songs of all time, so it's pretty hard and almost non-existent to hear anything negative said about it.

** The characters go off on a tangent, discussing first whether ''Literature/StrangerInAStrangeLand'' was any good, then what Heinlein was even thinking when he wrote it. They then consider using their dimension-hopping technology to [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall just go ask him in person]], but decide [[SelfDeprecation he probably wouldn't be able to cope with the shock.]]

* [[GrowingTheBeard/{{Music}} Growing the Beard]]: At the start of their recording career, the band released two albums with Paul Di'Anno on vocals. While the opinion of these varies wildly among fans, it was the release of ''The Number of the Beast'', combined with the introduction of Music/BruceDickinson to form their most well-known lineup, that really propelled them into notoriety.

* EvenBetterSequel[=/=]SequelDisplacement: The band recorded their first two albums with Paul Di'Anno, which are regarded as classics, with the SelfTitledAlbum having the self-titled song that closes all concerts.
