I thought about it and out of all the songs they could play from Scenes, I think I would definitely most want to see Beyond This Life or Home being performed. I know both songs were played quite recently, but...well, they both are especially great live. Also, they feature prominent Portnoy...

I wonder if Firepower and Invincible Shield's reputations would be different had they been released in the 80's. A lot of the praise they get seems to come from how they've been able to write material that can stand up to their classics. I don't necessarily agree - both albums feel a bit hollow...

I cannot believe Napalm Death's You Suffer is actually in this game. Time to vote for it out of respect and pity, because it's not surviving against Judas Priest song #6778.

Surrender to Reason is the only one that could have benefitted from being longer and even then it's good regardless.

You can absolutely tell Bruce was quite inspired by Peter Hammill's vocal style on some of those Van de Graaf Generator albums from the 70's. In an interview with a Swedish journalist from 1998, he mentions specifically A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers and the interviewer then mentions Scorched...

I'd say the closest they ever came to that kind of sound again was some parts of Brave New World and maybe something on The Final Frontier? ...does Ghost of the Navigator have flanger or have I been hearing it wrong all these years?

I've always really liked Ram It Down (t/t), albeit I will concede that the first three seconds are a major factor in that...

Alexander the Great

I wasn't mentioned for this, but sure, I can do this too. Set 1 Smoke and Mirrors Through the Looking Glass The Edge of Forever To Hell and Back Out of the Ashes Awakenings Revelation (Divus Pennae Ex Tragoedia) The Divine Wings of Tragedy -intermission- Set 2 Prelude (tape) Evolution (The...

Wait, but I nominated Symptom of the Universe...

It's hard for me to go back to the studio version of the Six Degrees title track after I've grown so accustomed to the Score live version with the Octavarium orchestra. That version has so much more energy in it. I feel the Overture in particular was always meant to be performed by an orchestra...

The first matchup is horribly, horribly painful. That's my favourite DT song right there. So...uhhhh, this is a case where I think I might have to vote against my own nomination. ...however, I'm also acknowledging the fact that it's a very well-liked DT song generally so I think it will win...

Is it top 5 time? #1) Images and Words #2) Awake #3) Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes from a Memory #4) Train of Thought #5) Falling Into Infinity

I think Man on the Edge is easily as strong as some of their Bruce hits and could see success as a live song again. I also think a song like Blood on the World's Hands could work live again. But I also don't expect them to show up again because they would never be high enough priority over...

To Tame a Land Rime of the Ancient Mariner Sea of Madness Seventh Son of a Seventh Son El Dorado Not sure if some of these actually count as heavy, but heaviness is a weird thing to judge anyways.

I like Fear of the Dark enough, although it's still my third least favourite Iron Maiden album. Looking at the other recent posts, it seems I might be the biggest fan of the title track here. In any case, I think Fear of the Dark has a lot more listenable stuff than what The X Factor does. With...

...I'm absolutely flabbergasted that a Death Devil song somehow got into this tournament. And from that alone, I had to vote for it. Sorry, I also love K-ON! and I'm not going to skip out on a chance to vote for K-ON! whenever it shows up.

Is there a general consensus on the current best show of the tour?

Hey, is this the first time one of my nominations has appeared in the game?

Is this the second Iron Maiden survivor in a row where these two songs are pitted against each other in the final battle...? I don't remember the previous top 10s too well beyond Hallowed winning each and every time. About that, though. Yeah. Let's make Hallowed lose for once.
