To be fair, the only one of those four that I think is subpar is OOTS, the rest I like.

That's fair enough. I like Out of the Shadows a lot, it's a glimmer of beauty among all the doom and gloom.

It says a lot about the quality of those albums if you still like the "worst" songs from them! :yes:

Somewhere in Time: The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner
Seventh Son: Can I Play With Madness?
No Prayer: The Assassin
Fear of the Dark: The Fugitive
The X Factor: Judgement of Heaven
Virtual XI: Don't Look to the Eyes of a Stranger
Brave New World: The Fallen Angel
Dance of Death: New Frontier (Sorry Nicko)
AMOLAD: The Longest Day (Great intro, but I lose interest after)
The Final Frontier: TMWWBK
Book of Souls: Either The Great Unknown or The Man of Sorrows. Undecided.

I think these overall might be the most controversial choices in this thread yet.
 
I actually enjoy "More Tea Vicar"! The opening riff is catchy (I like it very much), and Bruce's rap bit is hilarious. I do agree, however, that it's a strong contender for Maiden's most boring track, and that it's actually genuinely... bad (to me, it falls under the "so bad it's good" category). I think, off the top of my head, only "Pass the Jam" is worse (it's basically 8 minutes of... nothing; "More Tea Vicar", at least, is half its length).
 
“Pass the Jam” is actually trying to do something, but it is the second worst.
