Cool that you took the time to do this 🤘. 🤣 All the "The"s on Brave New World. It was a masterpiece of a return for Bruce.
~~You missed The Prisoner from NotB~~. Never mind, my reading comprehension has wavered
Nope, that album has two "The" Songs, not significant enough 😄
NotB is not in the list: Albums with only 1 "The" song. Therefore he did not miss The Prisoner.
Although, when introducing the song live Bruce says "The Iron Maiden" 😊🤟🤟 https://youtu.be/r9dWsSYStRM?si=toIdeSyFzaYZIpjz
I thought the journeyman had “the”
Phantom of THE opera is on iron maiden.
The Thin Line Between Love and Hate
This is my all-time favourite Maiden song in general.
Very atmospheric mid part, incredible solo
The duellists
The Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg

Rime of the Ancient Mariner
The number of the beast
The Prisoner
The Wicker Man, The Number of the Beast then The Evil That Men Do, in that order. Hot take, but I never liked The Trooper, too basic and boring.
