Its good to see somebody else who can appreciate Hooks in You.  :)
 
Always loved it. Simple, funny lyrics (and inspiration, too. Ahahahahahahah...) and mind blowing instrumental part (same chord sequence as The Reincarnation Of Benjamin Breeg instrumental part, when the duets come to the picture) - Janick delivers some of his most heartfelt solos.
 
Its always been my fav off No Prayer, and its just one of Maiden's catchiest songs ever.  Bruce sounds really fired up during the whole song.  :edmetal:
 
I find this really difficult, even though I played both albums a few days ago. I think I'm going to do this again, even.
Well, I might as well could have done different things. Some songs that didn't make it I love as dearly. Here goes:

Be Quick Or Be Dead
Tailgunner
Holy Smoke
Public Enema Number One
Childhood’s End
Fates Warning
Afraid To Shoot Strangers
Run Silent Run Deep
The Fugitive
Mother Russia

The last seven songs were absolutely my favourite seven. The first three had contestans like:
NPFTD (I didn't do it because I like the fast midpart a bit less).
Weekend Warrior with one of the most beautiful instrumental pieces, but the rest is a bit less.
Wasting Love (nothing wrong with it, really a beautiful song, but perhaps not as exciting as some of the other songs).
From Here To Eternity (I love this song, Nicko plays some cool drums on this one, I only find the lyrics a bit less).
I must confess that I also doubted about Judas Be My Guide (lovely track but the rivalry is enormous).
Fear of the Dark comes out of my nose (a crappy and literal translation of a Dutch proverb, meaning that I had enough of it).

Conclusion: There are so many nice songs from this forgotten era, it certainly says something that I find it more difficult to choose, compared to the previous two polls.
 
This was hard since these two are easily my least favorite albums. FotD has more fillers than any other album and NPFTD is just bland imo. Well, here it goes.

1. Be Quick Or Be Dead
2. Afraid to Shoot Strangers
3. Holy Smoke
4. No Prayer For the Dying
5. Childhood's End
6. Tailgunner
7. Bring Your Daughter...
8. Chains of Misery
9. Judas Be My Guide
10. Fear of the Dark

And the cool thing about this poll, is that you're creating a new album.
Still you've selected more FOTD than NPFTD songs.

Easiest decision so far.
Glad to see everyone has chosen Afraid to Shoot Strangers. :D
Had to choose Run Silent Run Deep. I just love that chorus. :p

I don't consider NPFTD having fillers since the album is evenly good/bad, whereas FotD has 6 good ones and 6 fillers. Something like that, no one gets my logic :p
 
1. Be Quick or Be Dead
2. Tailgunner
3. Afraid to Shoot Strangers
4. Wasting Love
5. Holy Smoke
6. From Here to Eternity
7. Childhood's End
8. No Prayer for the Dying
9. Mother Russia
10. Fear of the Dark

I couldn't fit Fear is the Key or Run Silent Run Deep. :/

Whens the next thread gonna be for 7th Son, SIT, and Powerslave?  I"m really interested to see what that will be.

I think it's without Powerslave (and I am glad about that or else it's going to be tough ;) ).
 
Yeah I was thinking next would be SIT With SSOASS

then NOTB POM PS

then Iron Maiden and Killers

Unless anyone has any objections . . . I think though, it's the most accurate way to divide them.
