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

Also all of Virtual XI.

Okeyyy. The whole second half of dance of death.

Still surprised that Prodigal Son is rated a filler every now and then. For me, that one is the essential center piece on Killers (well, on a same level as the title track)

I love the so called fillers, it’s the depth of the maiden catalogue that ultimately drew me to the band in the first place. Lots of bands have good songs or hits, few have this much depth over so many albums,

Unpopular opinion: Almost the entirety of Killers would could as a filler for me. Which makes kinda sense, since for the first two albums Steve chose most of what he considered to be their best material, leaving Fillers with some literal leftovers. Doesn't help that many songs are blatantly unfinished and consist of the same verse repeated 3 times and nothing else.

That solo section is one of early Maidens finest moments.

What, there's a secret, almost completely unknown album between IM and Killers?

THIS.

My cousin recently wanted me to help him getting deeper into Maiden, we went together to the show in Hannover, which was his 1st Maiden show (and my 57th), and in all this his context he was super surprised when I explained to him he would never ever make it only anywhere near to the soul of Iron Maiden if he wouldn't take a closer look BEYOND stuff like RTTH, FOTD, CIPWM etc.

Harris & Dickinson surveying this or basically any thread preparing setlist for 2028:

"*Sigh* If only we could play them... anyway, so we have Wrathchild *check* Run To The Hills *aha* Wasted Years *Yep* Fear of the Dark *oh absolutely, come to papa you sunshine*

 

[Azas]

I don't like The Mercenary. I see it as an undisguised filler.

I've expressed my love for Tears of a Clown in various topics here and I'll do the same in this one.
