How can Iron Maiden do this to themselves. I hate this CD so much. First of all there is no Paul Dianno stuff what so ever. Not even a live version of "Running Free" with Bruce Dickinson on it. Both "Iron Maiden", and "Killers" are classic albums and are essential. As well there are 4 songs from "Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son." "Infinite Dreams" is definitely unnecessary. It could have gotton by with just "The Evil That Men Do." and "Bring Your Daughter...To The Slaughter" is included as well. I Believe that "Bring Your Daughter...) recieved the raspberry award for the worst song of 1990. So why is it on here. Finally there are several good, classic songs that are missing such as "Phantom Of The Opera", "Sanctuary", "Running Free", "Iron Maiden", "Wrathchild", "Hallowed Be Thy Name", "Where Eagles Dare", "Aces High", and "Rime Of The Ancient Mariner"(may not be neccessary due to it's extreme length). I will give it one thing, the live version of "Fear Of The Dark" is really good. Better than the studio and the one released on "A Real Live One" This is what they should have put on here:1.Iron Maiden
2.Sanctuary
3.Running Free
4.The Ides Of March/Wrathchild
5.The Number Of The Beast
6.Hallowed Be Thy Name
7.Run To The Hills
8.The Trooper
9.2 Minutes To Midnight
10.Wasted Years
11.The Evil That Men Do
12.Holy Smoke
13.Man On The Edge
14.Futureal
15.The Wicker Man
16.Fear Of The Dark(Live At Rock In Rio) However if you want to buy an official Greatest Hits album then buy the 2 CD set for "Best Of The Beast" This is what is on there: Disk 1:
1.Virus
2.Sign Of The Cross
3.Man On The Edge
4.Afraid To Shoot Strangers(Live)
5.Be Quick Or Be Dead
6.Fear Of The Dark(Live)
7.Bring Your Daughter...To The Slaughter
8.Holy Smoke
9.The Clairvoyant
10.Can I Play With Madness
11.The Evil That Men Do
12.Heaven Can Wait
13.Wasted Years Disc 2:
1.The Rime Of The Ancinet Mariner(Live)
2.Running Free(Live)
3.2 Minutes To Midnight
4.Aces High
5.Where Eagles Dare
6.The Trooper
7.The Number Of The Beast
8.Run To The Hills
9.Hallowed Be Thy Name
10.Wrathchild
11.Phantom Of The Opera
12.Sanctuary
13.Strange World(Demo)
14.Iron Maiden(Demo) All in all stay away from this. It's terrible
