Best-of by group of 4 albums

Educated Fool
Since we got 16 albums until now, what about a best-of 4 by 4 albums in a row with the only two rules:
1) at least one song from each of the 4 albums
2) best-of can't exceed the length of a Cd, 80 min then (yeah, remember the old times...no Spotify, Youtube or other streaming platforms, just the physical format)

It's kind of like, what should the set list have been if Maiden stuck to the original concept of the history tours and ONLY played songs from each "era."
 
Maiden's catalogue is much better split up into a 3, followed by two 4s and a 5 anyway. That way you can have the Burr albums, followed by the "classic" albums, then the 90's and Reunion periods.

Quite. The recent vinyl reissues have been following the four albums pattern, so there's always one album that looks a bit out of place with the others.

I suppose it helps to increase the amount of copies of the 1990s one sold if it has Brave New World at the end.
 
Didn't bother doing disc 3 seeing as I haven't listened to anything really from those 4 Albums...
