Heaven Can Wait is what I voted for. I wonder if it will get any other votes...ATG would be second choice but IMO these two are inferior compared to the "two greats" in Powerslave.
Unsurprisingly, majority of the votes went to "two greats" ROTAM and Powerslave, with Rime winning (with 1 more vote only) in part 5. It seems they are the songs mainly responsible for the love for Powerslave album, with considerable help from Aces High, and some / a little from the rest. And...
Sorry, rules are rules; and there is no exception unless they both get the most and same amount of votes. Killers is nowhere around the greatness of Children of the Damned for me, but you know the results...
Rime or Powerslave... It would be much easier if Dave didn't have those solos in Powerslave...I don't know which one I would choose tomorrow but today my vote goes to Powerslave. Second vote would be Rime of course.
Revelations was the winner in round 4; The Trooper, To Tame A Land and Where Eagles Dare were among the favourites. No surprises so far...
Today it's Powerslave...considered by too many as the best album of the band. Now let's see which song(s) is/are mainly responsible for this fame. I guess...
The best solo comes from Adrian (TWOTW), however, I think Janick and Dave's solos are better throughout the album. My favs:
Janick- Death of the Celts, The Time Machine, The Parchment (all 3), outro on Darkest Hour
Dave- The Parchment, Darkest Hour
It seems "Hallowed" is untouchable and won easily in part 3, while my favourite COTD received 2 votes only. I was surprised to see that almost nobody voted for title track-TNOTB, considering its popularity and being a regular song in every concert...
Anyway, it's Piece of Mind's turn this time...
Children of the Damned...not only the best in the album but the song of the decade in my opinion. I really wonder how many votes it will get when there is a very strong rival (Hallowed).
Today we have the "classic" The Number of the Beast album. Almost every song received a vote or two in part 2 but it was relatively easy-win for the title track in Killers. As we are moving towards the fan- favourite albums I think the competition will get tougher. We will see...
Already in...
All right, Phantom won easily in the first part. Nice to see some fans voted for different songs though. Let's see what your choices will be for the second album
Iron Maiden - The Writing On The Wall. Released exactly 1 year ago today...Sounds greater to me. The best pre-album single since Wicker Man. Here's to more new Iron Maiden music in the coming years!
All right amigos! Here is the best song contest as promised. In the first round we will select the best song in each album by voting and you can vote for only 1 song everytime. For the first 3 albums I will use the 1998 remaster tracklist and non-album tracks will not be in the list. Changing...
this time I voted without flipping a coin :)....for SSOASS. I think it's a little bit better.
Thanks to Dick Brucinson for this thread, it was fun.
Waiit for the best song contest very soon!
I was thinking about PS and SSOASS only but you gave me an idea! :) All right, I will think on it and come up with a thread probably sometime next week.
