These two I find worse than the other 2 from that album. So for me it makes sense to get rid of them. But I also find them less compelling than Seventh Star, indeed.
edit: wait I like War Pigs more than Electric Funeral. Will pay more attention next time. ;)

I really like The Eternal Idol. Interesting album with at times a bit of an evil atmosphere. The drums sound a bit messy, but there’s some fantastic instrumental parts on there. Bass guitars are by ex-Rainbow man Bob Daisley; he played on the Long Live Rock 'N' Roll and Live in Munich 1977 albums, but he was also Gary Moore's and Ozzy Osbourne's bassist among others.

"Glory Ride" contains a very cool guitar solo part.
Other memorable tracks are "The Shining", the arabic flavored "Ancient Warrior" and the doomy "Eternal Idol".

So I'll vote for these:
Hard Life to Love
Born to Lose
Nightmare
Scarlet Pimpernel
Lost Forever
Iron Man
Electric Funeral
(I find that it's time for these Paranoid songs to go, they are really not that great compared to many other Sabbath songs)

I see The Mob Rules in under threat.

I love that solo section with its pounding bass, it launches with Dio's voice dying away.... The bass playing sounds like a direct influence on Harris´ galloping style as in The Trooper.

2 years ago it went out in the second album round, if not mistaken. The Shining, the title track and Glory Ride were the most popular tracks (in corresponding order).

I am still baffled by the mass disdain in the current group, how easily the fabulous strengths (couplets + solo part) of Glory Ride are disregarded, that's beyond perception.
