This list should be taken with a pinch of salt though as it's more likely to change within a day or even a few hours.  :innocent:
It appears I really like the singles too. I tried not to pick too many of them.
 
Here is my list, it seems the winner song from each album is one of the longer songs every time. Maybe that is because a long song has more room for variation in musical themes, putting in different riffs and melodies and giving all the members of the band room to express themselves. I really appreciate variation, both within songs and within albums. Say, Aces High is a great song, but Powerslave would not be one of my favourite albums if all the songs had been like Aces High ...

Phantom of the opera
Killers
Hallowed Be Thy Name (Children of the Damned is a damn close second)
Tie between The Trooper and Still Life (Yes, I can't make up even a piece of my mind here. Ouch, that one was bad. I am going to smack my own fingers for that.PANG!)
Rime of the Ancient Mariner (easily in my Maiden top 5, see Favourite Song)
Alexander the Great
Seventh Son of a Seventh Son (Infinite Dreams comes second)
Mother Russia
Afraid To Shoot Strangers
Sign of the Cross (Fortunes of War comes second)
The Clansman
Blood Brothers (close contenders: Ghost of the Navigator, Dream of Mirrors)
Paschendale (maybe my favourite of all Maiden's songs)
Brighter Than a Thousand Suns
 
Charlotte the harlot
Prodigal son
Prisoner
Trooper
Rhyme of the ancient mariner
Caught somewhere in time
Evil that men do
Hooks in you

Dance of death
Different world
