I go with the AMOLAD contribution. This list does contain some really underrated songs, though. Flash of the Blade and Fates Warning more than any other. Still, I feel FTGGOG has most to offer out of this pack.
 
I had to go stereotypical and choose Fear of the Dark.  In the right conditions, that song is magic live.
 
I like 23:58, but at least 'Loneliness...' is lasting longer.  Another underappreciated song. 

How can Icarus be beating, well anything on this list?  :bigsurprise:
 
Loneliness deserves its spot. Actually, I want it to make it at least to QF.

Because Icarus has some of the best Maiden solos. Period.
 
^ Actually, it probably has my favorite Maiden solo, now that you mention that. And I'm not even remotely a fan of solos in general.

Having said that, I screwed up on this poll though. The moment I saw FoI on the top of the list, I picked it automatically. Then when I scrolled down to click, I realized that FTGGOG was also on the poll at the bottom of the list, but I've already clicked the vote button. I should have picked FTGGOG.

No biggie I guess since they're both Top 10 maiden songs for me, easily.
 
It's my favourite too, followed by H's Paschendale.

I don't really pay much attention to solos, but Icarus blew me away, as did Paschendale to a smaller extent.

I agree.  'The Duellists' is ever better and just as underappreciated, if not more.

True. I listened to the Powerslave album from start to end yesterday, and as always I was blown away by how much the band obviously enjoy themselves in those songs in the middle. The songs many dub "fillers". In each of those four songs, the guitars and bass are at their most playful. It's just like they decided to have as much fun as possible in making the album.
 
Ghost of the Navigator is a killer track. Amazing, incredible, and could be the best track on half a dozen Maiden albums. On BNW it is maybe the 4th best.
 
LASH MY HANDS ONTO THE HELM, BLOOD SURGING WITH THE STRAIN

5th best of BNW and not one of my all time favourites but the RiR version is excellent and the song is very fast, aggressive and atmospheric too.
 
Ghost of the Navigator, easily.
The 6th best on BNW, Ghost of a Navigator is a good song but on the album it gets overshined by others. However is the best song on this list by far.
