This Survivor game is an experiment. We're not using a poll. Instead, I'm going to give you a list of ten songs, and I want you to rank them.

The songs are some of the better performers from last year's Best Metal Song Survivor - but with the Maiden songs taken out for the sake of variety.

Your mission: Rank them from worst to best. The order of elimination you would vote for in a normal Survivor, so to speak.

Rank these songs...
Ace Of Spades
Darkside Of Aquarius
Hangar 18
Heaven And Hell
Holy Wars... The Punishment Due
Iron Man
Master Of Puppets
One
Painkiller
The Ripper

Here is the first experimental result. I put this together while GK was posting, so it doesn't include his list.

This doesn't mean we're done. Keep posting your lists, I'll run more results later with more voters.

The ranking is determined by the simulated voting, detailed below.
The number in [brackets] is average rank on the lists.

1. Heaven And Hell [2.6]
2. Master Of Puppets [3.4]
3. Painkiller [4.7]
4. Holy Wars... The Punishment Due [5.0]
5. One [4.0]
6. Iron Man [5.6]

8. Hangar 18 [6.4]
9. The Ripper [8.0]
10. Ace Of Spades [9.7]

'One' seems out of order. Is it a typo?

No, it's not a typo. The mechanics of the voting don't guarantee that order of elimination and average rank on the lists will match. They will always be similar, but not necessarily a direct correspondence.
