rate all 17 Maiden albums best to worst

The only BoS song I honestly enjoy nowadays is the title track. Death or Glory is fun, Eternity is ok and TRATB is a good song, but bloated imo.
 
1 Seventh Son
2 Somewhere in time
3 Dance of Death
4 Brave New World
5 Powerslave
6 Piece of Mind
7 A Matter of Life and Death
8 Number of the Beast
9 The X Factor
10 No Prayer
11 Iron Maiden
12 Killers

13 Virtual XI (the songs on it I like I LOVE more than anything below it so it's not going bottom)

14 Fear of The Dark
15 Senjutsu
16 Book of Souls
17 Final Frontier
 
The Book Of Souls

None, I´ll repeat: none come close to the best tracks on Senjutsu.

TBoS is my second favourite Maiden track, Hell on Earth just cracks my Top 10.

I think the first halves of both albums are pretty equally consistent, and you can make a really strong "Side A" out of their best tracks:

If Eternity Should Fail
Stratego
The Writing on the Wall
The Red and the Black
Days of Future Past
The Book of Souls

When it comes to the second half though, Senjutsu crushes TBoS for me. The latter gets very inconsistent, though I'd give it a nod for being a little more unique.
