    I agree with some of the ranks and disagree with some others. Nice to see some love for Brave New World. Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son is definitely at the top for me. Interesting ranking.

    This is a pretty interesting list, I'll give you that. There are quite a few things I disagree with, but also numerous things I do agree with. I haven't listened to The Final Frontier or The Book of Souls yet, but here's my ranking:
    14. No Prayer For the Dying
    13. The X Factor
    12. Virtual XI
    11. Fear of the Dark
    10. Iron Maiden
    09. Killers
    08. A Matter of Life and Death
    07. Piece of Mind
    06. Brave New World
    05. Powerslave
    04. The Number of the Beast
    03. Dance of Death
    02. Somewhere in Time
    01. Seventh Son of a Seventh Son
    Obviously, I agree that NPFTD is the worst, and we agree on the top 2. Though I will mention that I think Bring Your Daughter to the Slaughter is potentially the worst Maiden song of all time. I also totally agree that AMOLAD and Piece of Mind tend to be a bit overrated. In my opinion, the only super strong tracks on AMOLAD are Brighter Than a Thousand Suns and The Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg. And I think Piece of Mind is kind of short on really good tracks. Just plenty of meh tracks in my opinion. Finally, I would say that Caught Somewhere in Time is probably my favorite Maiden song, too. Everything about it is just completely perfect, in my opinion.
    I gotta say though, I think you're underrating Dance of Death. I agree that there are some tracks that are middling at best. Gates of Tomorrow and Age of Innocence are nothing special, and New Frontier... let's just say that Nicko shouldn't be writing lyrics. But the good tracks are so incredibly good, it puts it all the way up to third place in my rankings. Dance of Death, Paschendale, and Rainmaker are probably all top 10 Maiden songs for me, and Wildest Dreams and Montsegur probably fit in my top 20. Throw in No More Lies and Face in the Sand, and that's 7 of the 11 tracks that are just fantastic. I'm not a huge fan of Journeyman, but I'm just not a huge fan of acoustic tracks. Finally, I think that Killers is a huge improvement over the debut album. Killers has its faults, but the good tracks (Killers, Wrathchild, Murders in the Rue Morgue, and Purgatory) are all really damn good.
    I didn't intend on writing this much, but whatever. Despite my couple of disagreements, I enjoyed the video and your list!

      Cool ranking! I did actually really like Dance of Death on first listen, but I just think the other albums are a little better. Those songs you listed are really great though. I definitely recommend that you check out Final Frontier and Book of Souls, both great albums!

      ​@@RevanMusic-fg3gs I finally got around to listening to The Final Frontier, and I gotta say, it's pretty good. I'd put it just behind Brave New World in my ranking. I've heard a few tracks off Book of Souls, but it's such a long album, it's kind of a daunting task to listen to the whole thing front to back. However, I like most of the songs I've heard so far.

      @@d.m.kolobanov8177 Nice! Final Frontier is a kind of underrated album if you ask me, even though it's not one of the best. Hope you like Book of Souls!

    Powerslave is WAY to low. Most Maiden fans including myself would put it up there in the top 3. Even the deep cuts are really good! It was nice to see Brave New World a little high though! Interesting ranking!

      I do really like Powerslave, and I would've liked to have it higher. I just don't think I personally could put it much higher than it is. Like I said, the middle of the album I haven't really had any desire to go back to at all, and I think those songs aren't as good as the rest by any stretch. Otherwise, it's a great album.
