I read some recent posts about best albums, best reunion tracks etc. I'd really like to know what are in your opinions the worst Maiden songs. Let's exclude the Blaze era, because I'm sure many of you will choose songs from that era.
It's a really difficult choice to make. There are some Maiden songs I find meh or uninspired, but it's difficult for me to pick their worst songs, as I don't think they have many truly bad songs. I will only pick from the album tracks.
My picks
1. The Assassin (or ass-ass-in) : It's the first that came to mind. I can't even listen to the chorus without laughing.
2. Total Eclipse : I don't know if it counts. They included it in the remastered version of Number. So, it counts in my books. I never understood , why some people prefer it to Gangland honestly. I'm not a big fan of Gangland, but I never liked Total Eclpise at all.
3. Another Life : It's not awful, but it seems unfinished. There aren't many truly bad Maiden tracks. So, I had to include it.
4. The Fugitive, Chains of Misery, The Apparition : I can't even seperate them. The most easily forgettable triplet of songs in their whole discography.
5. The Man of Sorrows : There are some pretty forgettable songs in the last 3 albums. I was considering some other tracks also, like the Darkest Hour, Tears of a Clown, Starblind, Death of the Celts. Also, I considered some DoD songs for this spot. Honestly I don't think any of them is that bad. They're just a bit boring.
Bonus: Hooks in You (probably the worst of them all)
(+ half the Blaze era songs)
