Iron Maiden Track List Countdown

Ever wanted to list every track of your favourite band in an order or worst to best. Well, that is what I've done here. After doing the albums I had a list of the singles and I thought hey lets give this a go. Might of regretted it later as you have to pick on great track over another knowing that in ten minutes time I will change my mind. This is the best I could come up with and suggest you don't try it yourself. As its like trying to choose your favourite fingernail. They are all pretty good at what they do so how do you decide which is superior over another. It is all ok when you split the tracks into Great, Good and Meh. They you have to go into each pile and decide which is more Meh then the other Meh and worse is to come as you have to pick great over great. It is done now and here is my first (and probably last) attempt of every Iron Maiden track recorded on an album listed from worst to best. Enjoy!!

You ever had an idea that felt really good until you got three quarters of the way through it and realised that suddenly you are going to choice between two things you probably love equally. Today my choices will be differently to tomorrow and again from yesterday. So, this is the list for today! If I do it again I know this would change again and I also did a little analysis about the track order in comparison with the albums by totalling the numbers for each album dividing by the number of tracks and this completely re-orders my previously posted Maiden albums list. When you list something of your opinion it is good to share and have a discussion. Then you start to agree with other peoples arguments and your list may change. I did enjoy doing this and ended up devising a way to score the top 10 and just went with the score without changing it. Here it is, no doubt if you love Iron Maiden as much as I do you will have a completely different list. How was this one so low? Well something has to go there and this is my best shot I hope you like it.
