The biggest metal band on the planet, but I agree, some people just can't appreciate the sheer genius of their music.
The best Iron Maiden song has got to be "Hallowed Be Thy Name".

Iron Maiden

1) One of the defining bands of Heavy metal through the 80's. Famous for songs such as "Number of the Beast" "Bring your Daughter to the Slaughter" and "2 Minutes to Midnight". They show some of the highest levels of instrumental talent known to Metal. A major inspiration to metal bands through the 90's to present day. They continue to churn out amazing and consistant hits (apart from during the mid 90's). Contrary to popular American belief, they are NOT satanists.
2) A medieval torture and execution device which was made of iron. A person was placed inside the box of the iron maiden while the door (which had impaling spikes on the inside) was closed slowly to to maximise pain and injury, while the prisoner died over the next few hours to few days from their injuries.
1) "I just picked up Iron Maiden's new album, it's amazing!"
2) "Throw him in the Iron Maiden!"

iron maiden

An immensely popular metal band that hails from England, known for their high standard of musicianship, dramatic live performances, and off-kilter lyrical themes. The guitar duo of Adrian Smith and Dave Murray is arguably without equal when it comes to leads, solos, and harmonies. While their prime was roughly two decades ago, their 21st century albums are still first-rate efforts and easily lay all that mainstream junk to waste. Like any other band, they have their detractors, most of whom have precious little knowledge of music.
Iron Maiden are an exemplary band.
