NPFTD is one of Maiden's best songs from the 90's! The same can be said for LOTF. The Time Machine is really underrated now.

I voted for:

Remember Tomorrow
Murders In The Rue Morgue
Where Eagles Dare
When The Wild Wind Blows

Wild Wind only because sometimes it bothers me a bit that the verses and the chorus are reversed and for an 11 minutes song that can feel strange. And I have to grab onto something.

IMO it doesn't even have a chorus. The "Can't believe all the lying, All the screens are denying" part gets repeated once, but to me at least it doesn't fulfill the function of a chorus. It's basically just one story told over 11 minutes; kinda like Rime or Dance Of Death.

It doesn't have a proper chorus, yes. I was more thinking about the part after the intro: ''Have you seen what they said on the news today''...

Prowler will always be an early classic and Days Of Future Past had no chance with its empty middle part and against the longer epic songs, but their elimination is no surprise.

I voted for:

Where Eagles Dare
Lord Of Light
When The Wild Wind Blows

Lord Of Light only because the chorus is slower (although it's better done than in When The River Runs Deep and it fits). I still like it, the song is brutally good, it's just that such feature in a faster song is always a bit strange to me. It's a nice feature for these songs and we need to have it in some songs, but for example in These Colours Don't Run is better imo.
 
Fucking finally, I can start nominating a few other songs again lol

The Prisoner
Where Eagles Dare
Aces High
The Wicker Man
