Oh man, I'm surprised to see some of my favorites like Deja Vu and Dance Of Death under the "least favorite" category!!!

IM:
Fav: Phantom Of The Opera
Least: Charlotte the Harlot

Killers:
Fav: Tie for Purgatory and Twilight Zone
Least: The two instrumentals, but if those don't count then Another Life

NotB:
Fav: Hallowed Be Thy Name
Least: Gangland

PoM:
Fav: Flight of Icarus though depending on the day, Still Life
Least: Quest for Fire

Powerslave:
Fav: Rime Of The Ancient Mariner
Least: The Duelists

SiT:
Fav: Sea Of Madness, very closely followed by Deja Vu and Wasted Years... and Stranger In A Strange Land too haha.  So many great tracks on this one.
Least: Heaven Can Wait

SSoaSS:
Fav: The Clairvoyant
Least: Can I Play With Madness

NPftD:
Fav: No Prayer For The Dying
Least: Hooks in You, but I could also add the majority of this album haha.

FotD:
Fav: Tie between Judas Be My Guide and Afraid to Shoot Strangers
Least: Weekend Warrior

The X Factor:
Fav: Tie between The Unbeliever and Sign of the Cross
Least: Judgment Of Heaven

Virtual XI:
Fav: The Educated Fool
Least: The Angel and the Gambler (at least we can all agree on this one!)

BNW:
Fav: The Wicker Man
Least: The Mercenary

DoD:
Fav: Too hard to decide between Rainmaker, Dance Of Death, and Paschendale
Least: Age of Innocence (I'm surprised to see this as a favorite!  I imagined Montsegur being the universal least-favorite...)

AMoL&D:
Fav: Probably For the Greater Good of God but the last four tracks are all five-star songs IMO!
Least: Different World

TFF:
Fav: The Man Who Would Be King
Least: Satellite 15... The Final Frontier

TBoS:
Fav: Shadows Of The Valley
Least: Death Or Glory, though this album has quite a bit of filler.

Senjutsu:
Fav: This is a tough one but probably The Time Machine, though The Death Of The Celts is dang good too, as is the last two epics.
Least: Senjutsu though I do like it quite a bit.  It just feels like an extended intro and less of a standalone song to me.

All the hate for Weekend Warrior does my heart good. I remember when I first heard that song, my reaction was, “what kind of crap is this?!?!”

It is a bit of a stinker... though I'll still take it over the bulk of No Prayer.

I like about half of No Prayer. It’s still a remarkable drop in quality after the 80s run.

I always liked No Prayer but I am a sucker for cheese.

I only dislike three songs on NPFTD where on FotD it's about half.

I’m the reverse.

^I'm with Pethead on this one.

That’s because, as always, I am right.

Modest too. lol
