They are in order.
Hallowed be Thy Name, from The Number of the Beast(1982).
To Tame a Land, from Peice of Mind(1983).
Rime of the Ancient Mariner, from Powerslave(1984).
Alexander the Great, from Somewhere in Time(1986).
Only the Good Die Young, from Seventh Son of a Seventh Son(1988).
My pick is Hallowed Be Thy Name, although the first four are all very close. Only the good Die Young is great, but not quite as epic as the first four.

See like I said, no show, no contest, it was obvious that Hallowed would win this

Hallowed is a great track but I prefer songs like Alexander the Great and Rime of the Ancient Mariner. The march in the beginning of Alexander the Great and the slow part in the leading up the Bruce's high note on Rime of the Ancient Mariner. I also prefer Nicko's drumming to Clive.

All of these songs are great, but I think Rime of the Ancient Mariner closes out one of my least favorite "golden era" albums in Powerslave with the highest note.
