It was a tough choice,

Starblind.

Starblind is one of band's ten best.
AG is not.

I think you meant 1 least good option, not 2 :P

Starblind.

Yes, my two favorites off this group are in the Final Round.

Alexander the Great. ATG is in my Top 10, but Starblind is in Top 3.

Too bad. :)


Starblind


Well well, Starblind & Alexander the Great...
In my opinion these last two songs are logical for Maiden to not play them:

The sheer magic that was created in the studio, the execution of the solos by Adrian Smith... too sublime, some parts are too fragile, too daring to have a go with it live. Knowing Adrian's perfectionism, he'll never want to do that live.

The fragility of some parts, when these go wrong, it can be very frustrating. The slightest mistake must annoy Smith the hell out of him. Apart from the emotions these songs would evoke when brought on stage, they'll always sound less good, sonically.

I agree with Foro. On the other hand, I really think IOA would be incredible live.
 
Re: GAME: Best Iron Maiden album song that was NEVER played live - Final Round

Lyrically, Starblind is in whole another league compared to ATG. Musically, they're both among band's best. But ATG has that Somewhere In Time sound, and immense instrumental part. Leaning towards ATG, but I shall vote against it to make a more interesting match  :D

Bah IOA is gone.  :mad:


Starblind.

No, switch Isle and Starblind and I'm happy.
Seconded.

Some songs like Virus, Fear is the Key should have last longer, and The Alchemist in top ten? Seriously? Mother Russia should have been there instead.
