Cool songs, but the competition is brutal.
 
Children Of The Damned
The Prisoner
The Number Of The Beast
Run To The Hills
Where Eagles Dare
Sun & Steel
To Tame A Land

It's getting more difficult now. S&S and TTAL were safe choices, I've never been a fan of them, and WED is an interesting track, but much weaker than the rest of the album. I like all the remaining POM songs more than the remaining TNOTB songs, HBTN being the obvious exception, so the rest of the votes went to the other TNOTB songs.
 
POM is an interesting album cuz a lot of it is classic (although it dips after “Still Life”), but songs like “Revelations” and “Flight of Icarus” became way better on Live After Death. The album versions are so tame in comparison. “Still Life” is one of Maiden’s most underrated songs and the best of the first four albums.
POM is a bit like the DOD album in terms of what you said. I agree about Still Life, but wow^.

Edit: btw, given the theme of the song, it was great that it was played during the Seventh Son tour.
It's getting more difficult now.
It's just getting started.

I need to protect Still Life. That song is the best on the album.

Powerslave joins the game!

7 votes this time too.
 
  • Flight Of Icarus, Still Life, and To Tame A Land as holdovers from previous votes.
  • Losfer Words as the least good song from Powerslave.
  • Reluctantly, Die With Your Boots On, The Duellists, and Back In The Village as the least best songs of the remaining list, as they are merely great, while the rest are even better.

QFF is still an underrated song. A classic like RTTH is already out, it shows again how strong Maiden's entire discography is. I'm glad The Prisoner was promoted.

This time I voted for:

Where Eagles Dare
Die With Your Boots On
To Tame A Land
Losfer Words (Big 'Orra)
Back In The Village

I miss more verses in WED (the drumming saves the instrumental section) and TTAL, although the latter is a unique song. The instrumental is not at Maiden's highest level (maybe if it was 6-7 minutes long) and BITV has no chance with its chorus.
 
So long, QFF, we hardly knew ye.

Voted for:
Where Eagles Dare
Flight Of Icarus
To Tame A Land
Aces High
Flash Of The Blade
The Duellists
Back In The Village
