Worst track by track

In the spirit of the "favourite track by track" thread and inspired by reading the "Worst of the Beast" thread, I propose you list your least favourite track for each track number from 1 to 12 (counting by origninal releases, leaving Hallowed Be Thy Name as track 8 on NOTB and so on ...)

1. Be Quick Or Be Dead (not easy, as I like all the opening tracks)
2. Holy Smoke (the other candidates being From Here to Eternity and you know which one)
3. Man On The Edge (good song, 3 is a great number - the other candidates were No Prayer for the Dying and Can I Play With Madness)
4. Fear Is The Key (this one was easy)
5. Look For The Truth (one of my least favourite tracks on TXF)
6. The Assassin (again, easy)
7. Gangland (however, I could've picked both the Blaze 7's as well - not my favourites from these albums, definitely)
8. Chains of Misery (had to toss a coin to decide if this one or Hooks in You would go here)
9. The Apparition (if someone puts To Tame A Land here, anthrax is on its way by mail before you can say Bring Your Daughter ... to the Slaughter)
10. Drifter (I like it, but I like the other 10's more)
11. The Unbeliever
12. -------

I refuse to put Fear of the Dark on a "worst of" list, so my "worst"-album would have only 11 tracks.
 
01. Wildest Dreams
02. From Here To Eternity
03. Can I Play With Madness
04. Heaven Can Wait
05. Childhood's End
06. The Assassin
07. The Fugitive
08. Hooks In You
09. The Apparition
10. Judas Be My Guide
11. The Unbeliever
 
1. Tailgunner
2. Holy Smoke
3. Lightning Strikes Twice
4. Fear is the Key
5. The Duellists
6. The Assassin
7. The Fugutive
8. Chains of Misery
9. The Apparition
10. The Thin Line Between Love and Hate
11. The Unbeliever
12. I can't

Alright, I've changed my list. However, mind that 'Twilight Zone' was not on the original U.K. 'Killers' album. It is included on U.S. and Japanese editions only.
 
1.  Wildest Dreams
2.  The Angel and the Gambler
3.  Lightning Strikes Twice
4.  Fear is the Key
5.  When Two Worlds Collide
6.  Gates of Tomorrow
7.  New Frontier
8.  Chains of Misery
9.  The Apparition
10.  Age of Innocence
11.  Weekend Warrior
 
1.  Wildest Dreams
2.  The Angel and the Gambler
3.  No More Lies
4.  Montségur
5.  When Two Worlds Collide
6.  Gates Of Tomorrow (I almost chose Back In The Village instead - quite the same level for me to be honest)
7.  New Frontier
8.  Como Estais Amigos
9.  Face In The Sand (brilliant intro but the rest is too repetitive for my taste)
10. Drifter
11. Weekend Warrior (great song, but it's not going to lose from The Unbeliever)
12. Fear Of The Dark

Some of you might understand my agony about DOD, still alive in that damn poll! ;)

Here and now I have decided that Dance of Death really is my least favourite Maiden album.

I must say Fear of the Dark is well represented in this one...

Yes, it's called different tastes. Crazy I know! But let's look at the other options then:
Strange World, Innocent Exile, Run to the Hills, Still Life, Back in the Village, Stranger in a Strange Land, The Prophecy, The Assassin, Wasting Love, The Educated Fool, Dream of Mirrors, Gates of Tomorrow, Out of the Shadows, Isle of Avalon.

If I wasn't to choose the aftermath, it'd be Educated Fool or Innocent Exile. Me and TXF do not get on, at all, ever. After the first 3 tracks it is usually turned off because the rest of the album grates at me so much.

TBH... if you want me to put all the #6's in order? Dream of Mirrors > Isle of Avalon > Wasting Love > Run to the Hills > Gates of Tomorrow > Back in the Village ... unsure of this bit ... Educated Fool / Innocent Exile (need refreshing on that one) > The Aftermath.

However, if you want to play this game. Mercenary worst #5? You're nuts. Even Foro, the lover of all things 90's, has put a blaze song under Mercenary!
