No offense, pal, but if you don't like anything Steve does, are you sure you like Iron Maiden? Yes, there are some songs written by him that I don't like too, however, no need to be so harsh-we have to be thankful to him I believe. He is the founder of the band and the creator of the Iron Maiden sound. He has written/co-written more or less 80% of all the songs in the IM catalog. He produces/co-produces the albums. He makes the final decisions on most (if not all) of the IM-related releases and tours. Even if a song is not written by him, do you think it will make it onto the album without his touch or approval? Every Smith /Dickinson song has to sound the way Steve likes, and has to be recorded the way Steve approves, to be included in the album. If you like The Writing on the Wall, Days of Future Past, Moonchild, or 2MTM you can be sure that they sound exactly how Steve wanted them to sound like. Even his bass playing on the song makes a difference.
