I'll have to rewatch "Iron Maiden: The Early Years" to refresh my memory on what was actually said and who said it, although I'm pretty sure that was the general idea. I'll get back to you on that.

Deconstructing Eddie: My Iron Maiden Songs & Albums Countdown - Album #11 Album #11 - Killers As I vaguely remember Steve Harris saying in one interview, a musician’s debut record is usually made up of the best songs that he’s spent his whole life perfecting. Then after the initial success...

Re: Iron Maiden Survivor 2010: FINALS #6 (Dec 14-15) Voted for RotAM, PotO & Powerslave

I've narrowed down my choice to these three: Where Eagles Dare >>> Revelations >>> Flight of Icarus Children of the Damned >>> The Prisoner >>> 22 Acacia Avenue It's a difficult choice, but I'm leaning towards the trio from PoM.

Re: Iron Maiden "Head-to-Head" Song Tournament (Round 4: Group L) Sorry for the delay. With the delayed bday get-togethers, xmas preparations/parties and work it's hard to find time :p Life gets in the way. LOL.

We should get nominations (which have to be seconded) and slap a poll on this thread :D So far these are the only trios that have been mentioned and seconded: The Fugitive >>> Chains of Misery >>> The Apparition Purgatory >>> Twilight Zone >>> Drifter (Of course, the inevitable "Best 3...

I felt like "I Can't Look The Other Way" had a more epic and anthemic vibe. It's truer to the the 80's style arena-rock influence that most hard rock/AOR bands wear on their sleeve. Basically, I enjoyed it more than "You're Lying" :) I felt like it could be part of an 80's style film like Top...

^ Yeah, I deduced that much from your earlier post :p

Whoa, interesting. It would be less surprising if you had mentioned RttH, Gangland & Total Eclipse.

Purgatory >>> Twilight Zone >>> Drifter might get some consideration.

Re: Daily Song: Holy Smoke Does this mean that if we went alphabetically, you'd rate the song differently?

Hey thanks Perun :ok: I do appreciate the conflict and dissent in the sense that it produces more interesting discussion than agreement and accord, so that might help with my tolerance for the "hate." Although to be honest, relative to my years of exposure to all sorts of forums and message...

It's just one place higher. The difference is almost negligible. Yeah, I enjoy and admire Maiden a lot as well as appreciate their albums very much, but there are a lot of artists and albums that I hold in higher regard. On the "best albums of the new millennium" thread, I might be the only one...

Roughly a third through the catalog is still the Bottom 50 anyway. Still lots of time to hand out copious amounts of love.

^ Haha awesome. All I saw was that this thread was from 2009 and there was no mention of Mingus yet, so I reacted :D I shall now wait for your post on Mingus with anticipation. re: Thelonious Monk, I love his music a lot and Monk's Dream is one of my favorites. One can make a strong case for...

This thread is sadly lacking the mention of Charles Mingus :( As far as I'm concerned, there are three legendary jazz artists: John Coltrane, Miles Davis & Charles Mingus (not necessarily in that order). There may be a whole lot more who are excellent jazz artists, but no one comes close to...

Ahhh I wasn't familiar with the marks it got on the daily thread. Interesting. Oh and hey I used that same Blade Runner analogy for Heaven Can Wait. :p Nice to hear that someone else feels the same way about SiT in that respect.

Re: Instrumental and sung prog rock bands My favorite prog: Caravan - In the Land of Grey and Pink (1971) - they were one of the leading bands of the "Canterbury Scene" in the 70's and played an easy, whimsical and melodic brand of progressive rock. Here's the title track from that album...

By that, I take it that you like the madness and chaos of it all :) It's polarizing? I seemed to think that SoM was quite well received here and that I'm in the minority. Some of the songs in this area of my list are songs with merits that I could recognize but are just not appealing to me, and...
