Weakest Song from each Iron Maiden album

If so, you got it all messed up, I don't feel that way at all. Most of the songs I put on my list were for needless repetition ("The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner" takes forever to end once it reaches the final melody, without much variation) or bad vocals, not for being more melodic. As a matter of fact, "Infinite Dreams" (which you mentioned in your original post) is one of my favorite Maiden songs ever.
 
1 - Strange World
2 - Another Life / Innocent Exile
3 - Gangland
4 - Quest For Fire
5 - Back In The Village
6 - Stranger In A Strange Land
7 - The Prophecy
8 - Holy Smoke
9 - Fear Is The Key
10 - Blood On The Worlds Hands / Look For The Truth
11 - Como Estais Amigos / The Educated Fool
12 - The Nomad
13 - Gates Of Tomorrow
14 - These Colours Don't Run
15 - Starblind
16 - The Man Of Sorrows

That section may just be the best guitar harmony in Maiden's career.

Could've been, but it isn't. My problem with that song is just that: it could've been fantastic, but it isn't. I already talked about this in my post on the song's thread; I think it features some genius ideas, but still feels very shy and underdeveloped, with needless repetition where there could've been much more variation and been more creative.

It's a pro, however, that it's unique, 'Arry doesn't seem to have recycled any of his previous ideas. It's all very new in a great way, and that kinda saves the song for me.
 
1. Iron Maiden
2. Drifter
3. Gangland
4. QFF
5. Duellists
6. Alex
7. Evil that men do
8. Assassin
9. Wasting Love
10. Judgement of Heaven
11. "Don't you think I can save you"
12. Nomad
13. Age of Innocence
14. These Colours Don't Run
15. Alchemist
16. Shadows

5,6,7,14 are there because something needs to be. All of those songs are 8/10 (or above) for me.
 
Sanctuary -- But I still like the song
Drifter
Gangland -- But I don't mind the song that much
Quest for Fire
Back in the Village
Deja Vu
Only the Good Die Young -- Once again, I like the song
Hooks in You (I can't believe they ever played this crappy song live)
Wasting Love (Torturous and once again I can't believe they played this song live)
Look for the Truth -- Though I really don't mind it
The Angel and the Gambler -- Way too freaking repetitive, cut it down and I'd probably enjoy it. Actually, except for the Clansman and Como Estais Amigos, I can't really stand anything else on this album and I like Blaze as a vocalist.

Dream of Mirrors
Gates of Tomorrow (Truthfully I'd prefer to pick the album artwork...but I guess it's technically not a song, eh?)
The Pilgrim
Satellite 15 (too many annoying sounds...I like the second part "Final Frontier" though)
Tears of a Clown

Shocking to see how many people don't like Lord of Light, it's one of my favs from the AMOLAD album.

"worst song" does not necessarily equate to "don't like", but maybe "like less than the other songs" ;)
