I'm not joking.
a) The Longest Day has an irritating chorus
b) Bruce's voice is very shrill
c) It's dragged out 3 minutes too long.

Thin line nearly made it. I would have swapped it with Navigator probably.

Longest Day was my first favorite song on AMOLAD, but I quickly grew tired of it. To paraphrase several other posters, the pre-chorus/chorus parts is way too repetitive and long-winded. It is a prime example of the Shirley produced stuff that would benefit from some serious editing (other examples include The Nomad, For the Greater Good of (Good) God (this song never ends), and Thin Line Between Love and Hate). I truly believe there is a great song in there, but unless you lop off about two minutes in this imiganinary 10-song best of the era mix, I cannot in good conscience abide it on my list.

In no particular order (well, by album actually):
1) The Wicker Man
2) Blood Brothers
3) Out of the Silent Planet
4) Rainmaker
5) No More Lies
6) Paschen(fucking)dale
7) Dance of Death
8) These Colours Don't Run
9) Out of Shadows
10) Brighter Than a Thousand Suns
The hardest to choose were actually the ones from AMOLAD. Consistent, but nothing life-changing, except perhaps Out of the Shadows. And even though I said in no particular order, I think The Wicker Man is a very good intro choice ^^.
This was a great idea, I now have a pretty awesome playlist and by the end of the day I might have a really fantastic one for all of Maidens career.

That makes perfect sense.

Hmm I might have to take back what I said about For the Greater Good of God. On it's own, it's not that great.
But if you take the top 10 songs and arrange them like this:
1. The Wicker Man
2. Brave New World
3. Brighter Then A Thousand Suns
4. Blood Brothers
5. Dance of Death
6. Rainmaker
7. These Colours Don’t Run
8. Paschendale
9. For The Greater Good of God
10. The Legacy
Well that's pretty powerful.
These Colours Don't Run, Pashendale, For The Greater Good of God and then ending with The Legacy
Having those 4 back to back almost tell a story.
These Colours Don't Run: Starts the Story with a young man falling for Propaganda. The Adventures of War!
Paschendale: He soon realizes the reality of war, the horror of it.
For The Greater Good of God: The war is over. Back home. Reflecting. Older and Wiser. Look at all the wars.. Look at what people have done in the name of God. Why?
The Legacy: Ends the story with a statement/warning. Humanity is corrupted. People are selfish. Greedy.
All 4 of those songs all of a sudden become more than just a song. They become an essential part of a story. I think they begin to be worth more than the sum of their parts.
On their own, FTGGOG and These Colours Don't Run, are not that impressive to me. But arranged in that order. Telling that story. Well I think they would almost be worth keeping.
Foro, you were thinking Lord or Ghost, While I was thinking Dream or Face.

I was hoping Thin Line or Longest Day would make the final cut. :/

This was difficult. Ghost of the Navigator was the second song on this "album", but it went when I put in Journeyman. Also, I wanted at least three songs of each album, and it has to be less then 80 mins.
