I've really given my ratings system an overhaul on this last discography listen and I've found myself giving songs 10/10 for their context and place within an overall album and their live significance, rather than just barreling down hard on every aspect of the recording. Essentially, a lot more things have that high of a rating than they used to. Here's my list so far (only through FOTD right now):

Phantom of the Opera
Sanctuary
Wrathchild
Murders in the Rue Morgue
Children of the Damned
22 Acacia Avenue
The Number of the Beast
Run to the Hills
Hallowed Be Thy Name
Where Eagles Dare
Flight of Icarus
Revelations
The Trooper
To Tame a Land
Aces High
2 Minutes to Midnight
Powerslave
Rime of the Ancient Mariner
Wasted Years
Stranger in a Strange Land
Alexander the Great
the entire Seventh Son album
Afraid to Shoot Strangers
Wasting Love
The Fugitive
Fear of the Dark
 
Even before that infamous debate, something about The Fugitive just never sat right with me. It's where the album really takes a nosedive, along with Childhoods End. I actually like Fear is the Key.
 
I could check the commentary thread, but I'm guessing things have changed.
Off the top of my head I gave out about 20.
I'd be surprised if these songs aren't still there:
Phantom
Hallowed
Revelations
Rime
Sign of the Cross
Clansman
Brave New World
Paschendale
It will be interesting to see what other ones make the cut

I remember a discussion about Murders in The Rue Morgue a while back but I can't remember the thread now..

Anyways they also played it on the Virtual 11 tour apparently, at a few select shows:

I've seen it on Give Me Ed... 'til I'm Dead tour back in... 2002 I believe it was. it was a nice setlist with 22 AV, DWYBO and Revelations. it was right before the DoD album came out, as they were playing Wildest Dreams off of it.
