Top 25 Iron Maiden Choruses
If you are a fan of big, catchy, sing along choruses (and an Iron Maiden fan) this list is for you!
How important is a chorus to a song? Does a good chorus make a good song? Can a great chorus make a song great? Wikipedia provides a good article on choruses; here is a tidbit:
The use of refrains is particularly associated with where the verse-chorus-verse song structure typically places a refrain in almost every song. The refrain or chorus often sharply contrasts the verse melodically, rhythmically, and harmonically, and assumes a higher level of dynamics and activity, often with added instrumentation. Chorus form, or strophic form, is a sectional and/or additive way of structuring a piece of music based on the repetition of one formal section or block played repeatedly.
With a chorus now defined, I will move on to the main reason for this post: to present the Top 25 Best Iron Maiden Choruses! Of course this list is very subjective, as all music opinion is. What I tried to do with this list is present the true best choruses of Iron Maiden’s career.
How to use this post:
- Click on the “chorus start” link to be taken to a Youtube video of the song
- The song will start playing right at the part in the song where the chorus is
- Rock out and sing along!
Something to note: when I started writing this list in prep of this post, I realized that most of the choruses I was choosing for the list were indeed from songs that had been singles. Interesting! In doing further research on Wikipedia, I came across the album covers of a lot of the singles from Iron Maiden’s discography. Most of these I had never seen before; only being familiar with the full studio album covers. This is a subtle feature of this post and a few other Iron Maiden-related posts I have done.
