Purgatory, although it was a single.

It never gets played anywhere and wasnt performed on the Early Days Tour. Im pretty sure there is no chance of hearing it live. Im not even sure Bruce has ever sung it really, I spent a long time looking into it before and couldnt find a b side or anything anywhere.

I think Paul Di' Anno's voice is great and the Iron Maiden album is stunning so I'll have Phantom Of The Opera! Although my all time favourite tracks is still Powerslave!

Was a single smile

Really difficult to come up with a definitive list, as it depends on my mood...epic or rocker? Off the top of my head, these are a few that I could listen to over and over again, and frequently do.

Caught Somewhere in Time
Children of the Damned
Murders in the Rue Morgue
The Prisoner
Die With Your Boots On
Alexander The Great
The Pilgrim
To Tame a Land

One of these days, I'd love them to do a tour playing stuff they've never played live before, or have only played live a handful of times. Stuff like Alexander the Great, The Prophecy, Quest For Fire, Deja Vu, 2AM...even Virus.

I think my favourite would Aces High, but that's mostly for sentimental reasons...

I quite like some of the tracks off Brave New World - Ghost Of The Navigator etc.

Aces high was a single.

I'll nominate three from Number of the beast:
Hallowed be thy name (my all time favourite Maiden track)
22 Acacia Avenue
Children of the damned

plus Flash of the blade from Powerslave.

+1 for Aces High

Video

ETA: The best two Maiden tracks of all time are back to back on Powerslave: Aces High and 2 Minutes To Midnight.

ETA: Bo1locks. Here's another one. Possibly one of the most powerful refrains of all time:

Run To The Hills

Ah damn it. I love Wasted Years, too.

OK. I admit defeat. I like it all.

Phantom Of The Opera
Strange World
Transylvania
Killers
Prodigal Son
Hallowed Be Thy Name
Losfer Words (especially the version from Live After Death)
Rhyme Of The Ancient Mariner
Caught Somewhere In Time
7th Son of a 7th Son

Loads of other great tracks but I think they all ended up as singles.
