Re: Bruce Dickinson Survivor FINAL BATTLE: Aquarius vs Thel (Oct 31 - Nov 2)
Weird development: Darkside is doing better, and that's the first time ever.
Thel always had less votes, every round. Some people must have changed their minds.
Still, more than 30 hours to go, so who knows what will happen.
(edit: when I posted this, it was 4 Thel, 3 Darkside)
The top ten Bruce Dickinson songs:
1. Book Of Thel
2. Darkside Of Aquarius
3. Omega

I can't complain about the winner. I would have liked to see "The Tower" and "Silver Wings" higher. And a couple that didn't make the top 10 as well: "Road To Hell" and "Back From The Edge".
But when I look at the results by album, those rankings look pretty reasonable to me. Not perfect, but not bad.
It was also my choice, pretty much up to the final round, when I listened to both the songs from Scream For Me Brazil, Darkside was a bit better. But I don't mind it at all. I feel that this is a fair representation of Bruce's finest work.
I am a little disappointed that something off of Tyranny of Souls didn't make it into the top 10. I personally think Navigate the Seas of the Sun stood a fighting chance...and Jerusalem should have ranked higher. But at any rate it was fun while it lasted .
