Albums that are, but shouldn't be, ignored in live setlists

When I saw Megadeth, they didn't play anything from Youthanasia!

You think the same way I do. Apart from Heaven Can Wait that album is largely ignored. You can also count Killers. Apart from Wrathchild they don't do anything from it. It is one of my favorite Maiden albums and has some great songs on it but they won't play it. I understand that Steve Harris doesn't like that album too much (so does DiAnno-he hates that one) the only member/former member of Maiden that seems to like Killers is Bruce (though he believes it would be 100% better with him on vocals).

Why would they hate such an amazing album?

i love that album a lot my favourite maiden release

Motorhead ignores ROCK AND ROLL quite a bit. Happens to be one of my favorites though.

They never seem to be able to squeeze in material from every album. Then again, with so many albums, how could they? They've done a pretty good job balancing material throughout their live album. I particularly liked their most recent (Better Motorhead Than Dead), which featured not only then-new material from Inferno but a couple tunes from APD, and such rarities as Love Me Like A Reptile, Dr Rock (now a rarity), Over The Top, RAMONES, and Just Cos' You Got The Power. Still, I'd like to hear some March Or Die material sometime. Also, there are so many awesome cuts from the late-era that have been left behind: Love Can't Buy You Money; Keys To The Kingdom; Them Not Me; Shake The World; Night Side; Desperate For You; See Me Burning; Red Raw; Death Or Glory; I'm The Man; Liar; Devils; Better Off Dead; the list goes on and on.

My favorite is Powerslave, but Killers is definitely one of their best.
