10 Best Iron Maiden Songs

8. Fear Of The Dark - Fear Of The Dark

Iron Maiden are well known for their epic songs clocking in at seven or eight minutes, sometimes even longer, and Fear of the Dark is one of the best of the bunch, certainly one of the most popular among the fans.

When played live, the audience act almost as a seventh member of the band, erupting as the song begins, adding their voices in harmony to the opening guitar riff. This is a special connection between a band and its fans that very few can achieve.

Fear of the Dark is written about just that - a man who is afraid of the dark. Supposedly referring to Steve Harris himself, the bassist has been able to craft this simple idea into a real journey that fans can immediately connect and relate to.
