Well guessed Jonszat and mckindog!
No. 2 - Sea of Madness (see first post for 50-2)
(Smith, 1986 -> on stage-status: last time in 1987)
Just like with Zare (and I assume some other people) this song didn't click at first. The rough riffs in the beginning and the rhythm sounded pretty wild compared to other Maiden songs. But that grew. Excellent from the beginning has always been the music and the vocals, especially after the couplets. I really love Bruce in that pre-chorus, and even more in the chorus itself when he does that beautiful harmony. Later on in the calm part he shows a more sensitive side of himself, and Arry's bass is playing an awesome figure underneath.
Nicko delivers some skillful drumming, this little part is almost great melodic progrock, but without being proggy to be proggy. This is catchy, with a melodic brilliance piercing straight through the heart. When the song continues, it gets more intense again and fluently flows into the Sea of Madness again. Adrian's lead work is significant. Divine.
For years, on the old Iron Maiden newsgroup, this was my sig:
"Out in the dark there burns a dream"
Adrian Smith, 1986
And lately I enjoy this song more than ever, so I decided to use that line again.

No. 1 - Rime of the Ancient Mariner
(Harris, 1984 -> on stage-status: last time in 2009)
Rime of the Ancient Mariner is my favourite Maiden song. With reason. It contains lots of nice rhythm patterns, tempo changes, and the song's adventurous nature is unsurpassed. The song is full of bone slicing riffs. We have some spellbinding melodies and also one of Adrian's best solos. Bruce is superb.
There is no song with better atmosphere, the threatening moods are so captivating.
Highlight:
The "..and by the light of the moon.." verses +
....and then down in falls comes the RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNN!
(followed by the coolest music, ever made by mankind)

Yeh, fantastic countdown. I haven't had time to comment too much on your final five, but it's been fun reading it.
When Somewhere in Time was new the first song that grabbed me from the album was Sea of Madness.
As the weeks went by, I played the shit out of that album. I still loved Sea of Madness.
The weird thing was none of my friends felt the same way. And as the years went by, that stayed the same.
The radio didn't talk about it. The magazines didn't write about it.
Hell, even the band seemed to ignore it.
I still love Sea of Madness.
For all the reasons you state and more, I love Sea of Madness.
And it appears I finally found someone who may love it more.
I salute you.
(Number 21 on my list.)
Rime is what it is, a classic. Number 12 for me and a worthy choice for top spot.
And I'm sad this thread is over.
Thanks for a great read Foro.
Most enjoyable.

Thank you guys. It was a pleasure.
@mckindog, and others:
Looking forward to your lists(s); even without reviews we could see how the albums are "represented".
edit: interesting story about Sea of Madness, mckindog. I think a few others of us like that song a lot as well, and one of them started his favourite songs-topic a while back *Zare, kick your own butt and continue*

Firstly, let me congratulate you on a job well done. This thread has been a delight to check back at every couple of days or so, and a hell of a lot of work and dedication has gone into it, and seeing it in its completed state is a joy.
Sea of Madness is one hell of a bold choice, but in a way its placement kind of represents the list as a whole, in that there were a lot of curveballs in there. Sea of Madness (and Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner) were the last two that clicked into place for me, and when they did, Somewhere in Time became (more or less) my favourite album.
Rime is obviously one of the best songs Maiden have done, but I never appreciated it the way others do. Flight 666's live version kind of helped its cause for me, and of course seeing it live at Twickenham I couldn't help but think to myself "****! Thank you Universe for giving me this beautiful moment". Listening to Maiden as a kid I assumed Rime was never coming back out again, mainly because I assumed Bruce was never coming back.
Don't know if I dare try one of these threads myself. Would the forum want to see another one?

My 6 year old son's top 100! A while back he started out with pointing out his favourite songs. These were 16 songs standing out above the rest. 15 of these were 4 stars rated (indicated with one asterisk *). 1 had 5 stars (indicated with two asterisks **). That's his number 1: Aces High! Then he wanted to continue. At some point he had 57 songs and the idea arose to post them here. I did that. I think @CriedWhenBrucieLeft saw it but accidentally it got deleted. Now he continued and made a top 100 and wanted me to post it here, again. So here it is! Below the top 100 you see some stats. (The Fear of the Dark album did really well!)

Also no Killers in his top 50. His least favourite album at the moment. He has 5 AMOLAD tracks in the lower half though."Out of the mouth of babes" (as Bruce says): no AMOLAD in top 50!
