Ancient Mariner
I am a bit bored so I was thinking about making an ultimate reunion album consisting of songs from BNW, DOD, AMLOAD, TFF and TBOS. It must not be more than 11 songs long and must be a healthy mix of rockers and longer songs, at least 3 shorter songs (That's why DOD was left out) and not more than cca 100 min long. So here it is (of course it would be a double album):

Disc 1:
1. If Eternity Should Fail
2. The Ghost Of The Navigator
3. Rainmaker
4. Brighter Than A Thousand Suns
5. Paschendale
6. When The Wild Wind Blows

Disc 2:
7. The Wicker Man
8. The Reincarnation Of Benjamin Breeg
9. The Book Of Souls
10. Coming Home
11. Empire Of The Clouds
 
A Matter of Final Brave Death of Souls

Disc one:
1. The Wicker Man 4:35 (Smith, Harris, Dickinson)
2. The Longest Day 7:48 (Smith, Harris, Dickinson)
3. The Man Who Would Be King 8:28 (Murray, Harris)
4. The Talisman 9:03 (Gers, Harris)
5. Dance of Death 8:36 (Gers, Harris)
6. Rainmaker 3:48 (Murray, Harris, Dickinson)

Disc two:
7. The Alchemist 4:29 (Gers, Harris, Dickinson)
8. For the Greater Good of God 9:23 (Harris)
9. The Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg 7:21 (Murray, Harris)
10. The Book of Souls 10:27 (Gers, Harris)
11. The Red and the Black 13:33 (Harris)

Lenght: 87:52
Singles from A Matter of Final Brave Death of Souls: 1st The Wicker Man, 2nd Rainmaker, 3rd The Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg
Producer: Shirley, Harris

3. Starblind
4. Out Of The Shadows
5. The Longest Day
6. Dance Of Death
7. The Book Of Souls

2. Brave New World
3. The Reincarnation Of Benjamin Breeg
4. For The Greater Good Of God

~102 minutes total.

Started doing this but found it too difficult as leaving any of the below tracks off would be unjust,

Wickerman, Ghost of the Navigator, BNW, BB

Brighter than a thousand sons, longest day, Out of the Shadows, Lord of Light
Isle of Avalon, Starblind, The Talisman, when the wild wind blows
If eternity should fail, speed of light, book of souls, empire of the clouds

Give it a go mate! I had to leave the following tracks out of my album:

Ghost of the Navigator, Blood Brothers, The Thin Line Between Love and Hate
Rainmaker, Dance of Death, Journeyman
Different World, These Colours Don't Run, Out of the Shadows, Lord of Light, The Legacy
Starblind, The Talisman
Speed of Light, The Great Unknown, Death or Glory
 
Ok, I'll go with the double album format that most people are favouring, I guess we all agree that it created good dynamics for the Book of Souls

The Wickerman
Speed of Light
Brighter than a Thousand Suns
Blood Brothers
Starblind
Paschendale

The Book of Souls
Rainmaker
Out of the Shadows
The Talisman
Empire of the Clouds
 
Disc One:
1. The Wicker Man
2. El Dorado
3. Blood Brothers
4. The Red and the Black
5. Different World
6. The Legacy

Disc Two:
1. If Eternity Should Fail
2. Tears of a Clown
3. Paschendale
4. Empire of the Clouds

These tracks weren't on my original list of "must have" tracks, but they could very well have been, as well as a few more tracks. There's very little from the reunion era that's outright weak. Most tracks have something about them.
 
01. Satellite 15...
02. The Final Frontier
03. The Mercenary
04. Brighter Than A Thousand Suns
05. Rainmaker
06. The Longest Day
07. Dance Of Death
08. The Thin Line Between Love And Hate
09. The Nomad
10. For The Greater Good Of God
11. The Book Of Souls

We can count ourselves lucky of how good (for the most part) the material from the reunion era has been. Long may it remain so.
 
If you compare Maiden's output with some of their peers, the threads like this show why Maiden are better. Some bands in the same age group as Maiden have been releasing solid to good albums for the last while, but I don't think any of them could produce a selection of recent/post-heyday songs as strong as some of the selection we are seeing in this thread. Basically, a lot of the songs that we see reappear in list after list in this thread can be considered genuine Maiden classics
