How many songs has each member of Iron Maiden written?
Notoriously collaborative, Iron Maiden have been blessed with some seriously talented songwriters, capable of delivering individually and in team processes. And it should be no surprise that the albums that boast heaps of collective efforts are among their best — there’s also a couple records that were almost entirely written by founding bassist Steve Harris, so let’s give the man his due there as well!
Every fan has their favorite elements that each songwriter brings to the table — Harris is known for his epics, Bruce Dickinson and Adrian Smith are a hit-making team and Janick Gers has contributed a lot more than he gets credit for, damnit!
