Between his prolific solo catalog — including his 2024 concept album The Mandrake Project — and his many contributions to the Iron Maiden songbook, Bruce Dickinson has written a helluva lot of tunes over the past 40 years.
In an interview for Revolver's Spring 2024 print issue, writer Dan Epstein asked Dickinson to pick what he considers the best and worst songs he's ever penned.
Epstein also asked the NWOBHM singer to select the track he's proudest of writing, and Dickinson's answer might surprise you.
"Jerusalem"
Oh man, pick your favorite child… What song would I want them to play in the slot machine over my grave? [Laughs]
Possibly "Jerusalem" [from 1998's The Chemical Wedding]. Which is not my song. I mean, I co-wrote it with Roy; but that one, yeah.
