Songs considered a "filler" track you actually do enjoy?

[Cat Milk Supreme]

See, Gangland does fill like filler to me, and honestly, so does Invaders, mainly due to the fact that I don`t think its a good album opener, much less a good introduction for Bruce to the band, which is why I don`t hold Number of the Beast as high as the other 80s records.

That first "CHILDREN OF THE DAAAAAAAAAAAAAMNED!" THAT is where we really first get to meet Mr Dickinson.

Yah, like I don't see Gangland or Invaders on a level with Children or Hallowed but I like them way more than most, find them fun, rockin songs that serve as the bridge between the Maiden of Di Anno and the Maiden of Dickinson

I'm just going to do a list of songs that get hate from some quarters that I've found myself enjoying here and there:

The Apparition
Chains of Misery
Fear is the Key
The Angel and the Gambler (yes, even the full 9-minute version given the right circumstances)

Fully agreed! Well, except for The Apparition. That one's too long for what it actually brings to the table, imo.

Invaders - superb riffs and incredibly powerful vocals
Gangland
Quest For Fire
Weekend Warrior - the music works for me and there's a wonderful twin lead in the middle
Look For The Truth - powerful verse vocal melody lines + cool breakbeat-ish drums in parts + love the 'oh - oh' bit
Gates Of Tomorrow - full of marvellous, driving melodies that totally work for me
New Frontier - nonstop action, a relentless ride with great riffs

Oh yeah, Weekend Warrior is a great shout, I adore that song.

Are there any songs commonly agreed to be an album "filler track" that you do enjoy a lot, and that's actually more than just an average song for you? For me, that’s definitely the case with "The Prophecy."

'The Prophecy' leapt into my mind as soon as I saw the thread title.

Might be my favourite Maiden song, but I know a lot of fans see it as a bit of a filler.

Not as much of filler to me, but a missed opportunity. The music is stellar. The vocals and the vocal lines feels like they belong to a different song. They don't gel well to me.
