What album features your least favourite Iron Maiden song (plus read on)

[Forostar]

No Prayer For The Dying might have the dubious distinction of featuring all three of my least favorite songs.  Ordering them is difficult, but here we go:

1.  Hooks in You
2.  Holy Smoke
3.  Bring Your Daughter...

Honorable mention goes to The Assassin (yep, same album), Angel and the Gambler (VXi), From Here To Eternity and The Apparation (FotD), and Fortunes of War (tXF) (an otherwise promising song undone by a chorus so awful I simply can't listen to it again). 

Wow, your three worst Maiden songs all come from the same album?

EDIT:  I couldn't stop myself.  I listed to Fortunes of War again, just to see if the chorus is really as bad as I remembered.  It's worse.     Can I change my vote? 

Ah, well, I noticed that quite some people forget to vote for the album so I'll just count these votes myself with help op the top 3 lists.

What will your top 3..

nr.1
nr.2
nr.3

...be? Thanks

The three worst, I think, is maybe easier to choose than the three best. So:

1. Hooks in You (No Prayer...) - the only track on this album that I would always skip over.
2. The Apparition (Fear of the Dark) - just a boring song, thank God it only last a few minutes.
3. Judgement of Heaven (The X Factor) - it's the lyrics that really put me of this track, and the music is not much better either.

And I must admit that I am in a bit of a rarity here - I actually like Angel and the Gambler and really don't object to it's chorus repeating over and over and over...... It's a good song.

I'll move Fortunes of War to #2, so:

1.  Hooks in You (NPFTD)
2.  Fortunes of War (tXF)
3.  Holy Smoke (NP...)

I already voted in the poll for No Prayer..., so that won't change.

1. the angel & the gambler (virtual XI)

I like the shorter version, but the 9 :52 album version ....I can't stand it !!! 

2. judgement of heaven (X factor)

very banal lyrics, melody not interesting, boring chorus, and Blaze in one of his worst moments

3.  look for the truth (X factor)

very representatif of the ooo-oooo-oooo era (that expanded terribly by Harris after the success of fear of the dark -live in Helsinki)

Quite surprising, looking at these lists.  There are a lot of songs I don't like, but there are also quite a few which I really like.  Judgement of Heaven, Flight of Icarus, Wildest Dreams, Fortunes of War, Montségur...  But to each his own I guess, and I can understand why some people don't like them.

But for me: Fear of the Dark is the album.  The bottom 3 are a bit harder.

1. Bring Your Daughter... To the Slaughter
2. Chains of Misery
3. Hooks in You

Something like that, though there are about ten songs that could make the bottom 3 quite easily.
