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

Quest For Fire - I think this is a very strong song musically. Seems like folks check out after the dinosaur line though, which honestly isn't that much dumber than nearly all post 70s Priest lyrics. I've always liked this song a lot.

The Assassin - for a very brief time of my life shortly after discovering Maiden in 1990 with the No Prayer album, this was my favorite song. Sure, the lyrics and chorus are a bit on the sillier side, but the song does do what all GREAT Maiden songs do - it sounds like what they are singing about.

Like so many things about Maiden, it never would have crossed my mind about the dinosaurs if I hadn't have read about it in here. Ok, I would have put the lyrics a rung below 2 Mins or Revelations but I would have passed no remark. Plus dinosaurs rule!

With that in mind, RIP Sam Neil

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."

Can any of Seventh Son songs be called "filler"? I really didn't expect "The Prophecy" to be called in that way, 'cos I think it's a great one too. To be honest, I think Seventh Son is one of the 3 albuns that has no fillers in it (other 2 being Powerslave and SIT).

That being said, these are the great fillers that come to my mind right now:

Fates Warning
Childhood's End
Judgement of Heaven
Gates of Tomorrow
Mother of Mercy
Shadows of the Valley
Lost in a Lost World

The instrumental section of Quest for Fire is great, love how Steve`s bass changes halfway through.
