I'm That one Person Who Would Rank Drifter above Wrathchild
Im Also Suprised that From Here to Eternity was that Low

I don't really have a big problem with any of these tracks or where they're appearing. Personally think The Age Of Innocence is a nice track. I'd rate it higher, but can understand why others don't. Losfer Words suprisingly low, although I don't personally rate it that much. Always impressive how good Maiden's worst are though. Plenty of stuff to like (even if only in parts) down here at the bottom.
Actually, I'm very fond of Killers. I would rank all those songs quite higher. Never got why that album is so unpopular, I think it's great.
Losfer Words is a song I seem to like a lot more than most people. I'd even put it higher than Transylvania.

The first songs from Brave New World and AMOLAD show up.
I think we're starting to get into a few placings that might be objectionable to some people.
Most of us probably have a song on this list that we like a lot more (or less) than the forum consensus.
I know Foro will not be happy with where the Unbeliever finished. For me, it's the Educated Fool.
Also, the way the tourney was set up, a few songs actually were matched up twice. The Pilgrim beat The Fallen Angel in the preliminary rounds, but Angel took the rematch to finish a few spots ahead overall.

Pilgrim/Angel/Mercenary are the WTF moments for me there even thought I know Angel/Mercenary aren't that well liked... I really didn't expect Pilgrim that low.

The following albums are not featured in Maiden(fan)'s 34 least good album selections:
Somewhere in Time (1986)
Seventh Son of a Seventh Son (1988)
The Final Frontier (2010)
Indeed. A huge WTF moment. People should really get their ears cleaned. 111? Come on!
Perhaps it suffered a little bit extra because it faced Out of the Shadows twice. I'd have a few other songs higher as well, especially Judgement of Heaven (in my top 50).

Those are my 3 favorite albums I was just wondering when they might pop up

It's frustrating to see The Pilgrim, The Fallen Angel, The Mercenary, and Como Estais Amigos so low. I totally get how those latter three ended up there, though. The Pilgrim? That actually made me drop my jaw. That song has some of my favorite lyrics from anybody, and it's one of my favorites from AMOLAD, one of my favorite albums. I've never seen anyone say it was even a mediocre song.
So that one hurt the most for me. I expected this to be painful, though. Just not that painful.

'The Pilgrim' is suitably low down. I am happy.

I prefer 'Wildest Dreams' to 'Different World', and a lot of other Maiden songs. Seriously, I rate 'Wildest Dreams' very highly and don't know why most of you lot hate it.

I don't hate it, not at all. There are some sections of it I quite enjoy (I'm gonna break away.....) and I like the solo very much. But the chorus sounds a bit awkward to me and the song is definitely not in my top 50. I still like watching it on Death on the Road, though - I think the live version is much better than the studio version.
