Well, even loving it, there's an order of fave to least fave on every album, even on a masterpiece like Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son. Not always the last spot is a song that is lesser on an album. I myself look at the last spot and get sad to see it there, but as I said, it's awesomeness following another. Ahahahahahahahahahah...

I'll justify the ones I still kinda like.

Iron Maiden: Strange World (just another Remember Tomorrow, really)
Killers: Genghis Khan (least favorite instrumental)
The Number of the Beast: GANGLAND.
Piece of Mind: Quest for Fire (I still probably like this song more than every other one on the list except De Ja Vu)
Powerslave: Flash of the Blade
Somewhere in Time: If I were pushed to make a choice, I suppose De Ja Vu
Seventh Son of a Seventh Son: The Prophecy
No Prayer for the Dying: The Assassin
Fear of the Dark: Fear is the Key
The X Factor: The Aftermath (just feel like it's composited of pieces of stronger songs)
Virtual XI: The Angel and the Gambler (Duh, but not as bad as most people think it is, just goofy)
Brave New World: Nomad (like it but just less than the others)
Dance of Death: Gates of Tomorrow
A Matter of Life and Death: The Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg (overlong, but an alright song. Just didn't need to be as long on this already long album)
The Final Frontier: Mother of Mercy (I've said this a number of times in the TFF forum, but Mother of Mercy is like a montsegur, by no means a bad song, but I dunno just a little bit repetitive and for me, a little detached.)
 
Iron Maiden- stranger world
Killers- drifter
Number of the Beast- invaders(if it weren't for the overly zealous chorus, this would be replaced by gangland)
Piece of Mind- Quest for Fire
Powerslave- the duellists
Somewhere in time- heaven can wait(almost purely because it interrupts the overriding grim/sad atmoshere, otherwise a great song)
Seventh Son-Can i play with madness(for the same reason as above)
No Prayer-the assassin
Fear of the Dark-Chains of misery
X-factor- Lord of the Flies
Vrtual XI-Angel and Gambler
Brave New World-bloodbrothers (alot of people love this song, i respect the theme, but musically it just never clicked with me)
Dance of Death- Gates of Tomorrow
AMOLAD- Out of the Shadows
The Final Frontier- now, i know this may seem like blatant propaganda for the new album, but since the album has begun to grow on me, i seriously CANNOT find a least favorite track...ALL OF THEM ARE BRILLIANT!!! however, when i first listended, Isle of Avalon kinda dissapointed me, but now its one of my favorites. This actually applies to Somewhere in Time too, which is also flawless.
Course, this is all just opinion.                 
 
Iron Maiden - easy choice, this song sucks, perhaps it was good in 1977, but not today.
Drifter - yoodle yoodle yoddleeihu. Nice intro riff, and that's about it. Again, easy choice.
Run To The Hills - ruined by overplaying, i bounced between this one and Gangland, and frankly, i'd rather listen to Gangland these days.
Quest For Fire - some nice ideas in this song, but not on the level of other Piece Of Mind stuff.
Big'Orra - from four fillers of Fillerslave i pick this one. I actually gave it some thought.
Heaven Can Wait - altrough this is a very good song, it was an easy pick - it's just not as good as the rest of holy record called Somewhere In Time.
Can I Play With Madness -  could've gone with the Prophecy, but the latter was actually worked on, and has a proper guitar solo.
Bring Your Daughter To The Slaughter - #1 charting single is definitely a candidate for the same spot...on my "worst Maiden song ever" list.
From Here To Eternity - FOTD features a lot of bad tracks, but this one is the baddest. Easy pick in 1-2-3.
Lord Of The Flies - hard choice. Very good song, from a very consistent album. However, i find it a bit less exciting than other two rockers of this record.
The Angel And The Gambler - this also wasn't easy. I don't find this song bad, at all. Could've picked "eyes of stranger" but that song has some really good ideas.
Thin Line Between Love And Hate - again, not easy. Very consistent album. Thought about Fallen Angel. But avoided it because of great chorus and sheer heaviness.
Age Of Innocence - this is possibly the most un-Maidenish song they've ever recorded. Experiment == fail.
The Pilgrim - a pick between this and Out Of The Shadows. Both excellent songs. Decided by pseudorandom number generator. Extremely hard choice, in any case.
El Dorado - so / so hard. Maybe "man who would be king", but i'll always put complex songs that somebody actually worked on, in front of simple tracks.

Iron Maiden- none
Killers- Drifter
The Number of the Beast- Gangland
Piece of Mind- Quest for Fire
Powerslave- Losfer Words
Somewhere in Time- Deja Vu
Seventh Son of a Seventh Son- none

Brave New World- Out of the Silent Planet
Dance of Death-Gates of Tomorrow
A Matter of Life and Death- Different World

+ El Dorado. Not a bad song but all the others far better than it.
 
Charlotte the Harlot - a song about a whore, not all that refined like 22AA, just a bit worse than Iron Maiden which is pretty fun to hear and see live
Genghis Khan - nothing special, the weakest Maiden instrumental
Run To The Hills - overplayed live, I started hating it
Quest for Fire - clearly weakest POM track, nothing more to say here
The Duellists - the four middle tracks on Powerslave never clicked with me (two tracks about swords and fencing? geez), this one I dislike the most
Heaven Can Wait - don't like the happiness and the chorus
Can I Play With Madness - the least good song on the best album, difficult choice here
Hooks In You - the worst song on a bad album
Childhood's End - there are more than a few candidates here, but this one takes the cake
The Unbeliever - I don't like the music and the vocal melodies
TAATG - Don't you think I'm a saviour x 120 (also a candidate: DLTTEOAS)
The Nomad - repetitive, too long and boring
New Frontier - just a standard filler song, worst on the album
The Reincarnation of B.B. - very dull song, definitely the weakest and most forced-out on the album, I especially dislike the passage from the calm intro to the first riff
Satellite 15... TFF - a very simple song, others are far better on the album
 
Iron Maiden- Iron Maiden (I wish they'd take the space they use for this song live and insert about a billion others)
Killers- Drifter
Number of the Beast- Gangland
Piece of Mind- To Tame a Land
Powerslave- I had the Duellists originally, but decided to listen all the way through the 'Slave, and have to say I think it's now 2 Minutes to Midnight. Too much shock, not enough awe.
Somewhere in Time- Deja Vu
Seventh Son- Evil That Men Do
No Prayer- Hooks in You
Fear of the Dark- Wasting Love
X-factor and Vrtual XI- pass (not big fan of either)
Brave New World- Out of the Silent Planet
Dance of Death- Age of Innocence
AMOLAD- The Legacy
The Final Frontier- Isle of Avalon
 
Iron Maiden: Iron Maiden
Killers: Ides Of March
Number Of The Beast: Gangland
Powerslave: Back In The Village
Somewhere In Time: Sea Of Madness
Seventh Son: Can I Play With Madness
No Prayer: Assassin
Fear of The Dark: Weekend Warrior
X Factor: 2 AM
Virtual: Don't Look To The Eyes of a Stranger
BNW: Thin Line
DOD: Gates of Tomorrow
AMOLAD: Pilgrim
TFF: Title Track
 
New list:
Sanctuary My least favorite Maiden song, gone over this a billion times.
Another Life Cool intro, but repetitive and pretty boring.
Invaders Rushed, stupid chorus, generic.
Sun and Steel Sounds too much like every other short Maiden song from the 80's.
The Duellists A decent instrumental section hindered by Maiden's all time worst chorus.
Loneliness... Gone over this a billion times as well.
Can I Play With Madness? Fun, but out of place.
No Prayer of the Dying Ripoff of Infinite Dreams and Hallowed with bad results.
The Apparition Nothing needs to be said.
The Unbeliever Good chorus, but nothing else is memorable.
Don't Look to the Eyes of a StrangerUp until the last couple minutes worst instrumental section in Maiden history.
Blood Brothers Overlong.
New Frontier Great chorus, boring verses.
Out of the Shadows Sounds too much like Tears of the Dragon and Wasting Love, not very memorable.
The Talisman Poor rehash of past epics with bad singing and boring riffing.
 
Iron Maiden : Strange World
Killers : Drifter
The Number of the Beast : Run To The Hills

The X Factor : 2 AM
Virtual XI : Haven't heard everything from the album (still need to get my hands on it)

I got 2 kicks in less than 24 hours (why's that, is beyond me). Well, anyway, I still light a big fire under someone('s) arse(s). Great to know I didn't lost my relevance.
