What if Maiden, Priest and Metallica made a joint album where they cover eachother's songs?

This has been a long time dream of mine. Wasn't sure where to post it, but I'm sure Maiden chat will do? If they, in this hypothetical (as in will never happen) situation covered three songs of each band, which songs would you pick?
Rules: Same song can't be covered by two bands and each band can't cover two songs from the same album.

My song selections are based off tunes I think would suit respective band based on their own sound, not necessarily the songs I would find the most intriguing covers.

Iron Maiden
Priest tunes: The Sentinel, Beyond The Realms of Death and Victim of Changes.
Metallica tunes: Welcome Home (Sanitarium), Harvester of Sorrow, For Whom the Bell Tolls

Priest
Iron Maiden tunes: The Number of the Beast, The Evil That Men Do, Fear of the Dark.
Metallica tunes: Enter Sandman, Ride the Lightning, Hit The Lights

Metallica
Iron Maiden tunes: , The Prisoner, Murders In The Rue Morgue,Phantom of the Opera
Priest tunes: Exciter, Screaming For Vengeance, Grinder.
 
Fantasy booking cover albums has the same thought process as fantasy booking setlists - if you aren't interested, don't participate in the thread.
 
In Belgium we have a television show where 8 artists cover songs of each other. Great concept and I was thinking about posting a similar thread, but with different bands. However, this is a really nice idea too.

Iron Maiden plays Metallica: The God That Failed, Welcome Home (Sanitarium) and Hero Of The Day

Metallica plays Iron Maiden: Purgatory, The Apparition (really, this would be awesome!) and Judgement Day

Iron Maiden plays Judas Priest: Out In The Cold,
Beyond The Realms Of Death and When The Night Comes Down

Judas Priest plays Iron Maiden: The Wicker Man, Back In The Village and Brighter Than A Thousand Suns

Metallica plays Judas Priest: Sinner, Jugulator and Tyrant

Judas Priest plays Metallica: Fade To Black, Seek And Destroy and Sad But True
 
I always thought Bruce would sound awesome doing Hell Patrol! And Blood Red Skies perhaps? Who knows. :--)
Iron Maiden - Hell Patrooooooooooooooolll
Iron Maiden - Blood Red Skieeeeeeeeeeeees

In the real world of what would actually be plausible.

Maiden, possibly some 70's Priest track similar to a lot of what they have already covered. They've never covered anything that wasn't a pre-Maiden influence that I'm aware of (with the exception of the SIT b-sides) so I couldn't see them ever covering Metallica.

Metallica would possibly do medleys from the first album and British Steel, similar to Mercyful Fate or Ronnie Rising.

Priest could do covers of anything really and they'd be nothing like the originals, similar to Diamonds and Rust and Johnny B. Goode.

I'm pro-Maiden covering Maiden.
I'm pro-Priest covering Priest (and also KK's Priest covering both KK's and Judas).
I'm pro-Metallica covering Metallica.

But none of these three should cover each other songs...

:D
