Maiden's best effort at 'social commentary'?

Curious to know what you guys think Maiden's best work in this area is. For definition purposes, I would count songs grounded in current events (for their time) like Wasting Love, Age of Innocence, Blood on the World's Hands, Don't Look Through the Eyes of a Stranger etc...whereas storytelling/historical/fantasy songs like Infinite Dreams, Dance of Death, Alexander the Great, Empire of the Clouds etc...would be excluded (actually a decent chunk of the 80s material would probably be excluded).

I'm not really a big fan of this lyrical direction (I think Maiden are at their best at the 'comic book' stuff IMHO), but I'm curious to see what resonates with people.
