Bruce Dickinson Solovivor 2024: THE TOP 10 - #10

[Vaenyr]

Tears Of The Dragon
The Tower
The Alchemist
Shadow Of The Gods

 

[Black Bart]

If all those who have voted had been there in 1997, "Accident of Birth" wouldn't have so many votes.

I was there and even bought AOB album the week of its release. But these rounds are all "Kill your darlings" now...

I am shocked that “Kill Devil Hill” is losing to “Tyranny of Souls”.

 

[Diesel 11]

Eliminated after Round F9:
Shadow of the Gods - 13 votes
Kill Devil Hill - 12 votes

The Mandrake Project has been completely eliminated - nice showing from "Shadow of the Gods", though, it almost made it.

THE TOP 10 has begun! You have three votes with which to decide the fate of these 10 iconic tracks. Good luck.

 

[Diesel 11]

Voting for:

• Tears of the Dragon
• Accident of Birth
• A Tyranny of Souls

 

[MrKnickerbocker]

I will only vote for A Tyranny of Souls until it’s gone.

It has no right to be in a Bruce Top 10, and certainly not as the only representative from its namesake album. IMO it’s easily the weakest track on the whole album.

 

[Vaenyr]

Tears Of The Dragon
The Tower
The Alchemist

 

[Jer]

Accident, Omega, Alchemist

 

[Shmoolikipod]

I quite like it, but I agree, it doesn't have the magic of the other 9 here. Should have been Navigate or Kill Devil Hill for sure.

Kill Devil Hill out? I thought it would be a certain Top 10 song, especially from TOS. Great achievement for Shadow Of The Gods.

Votes:

Chemical Wedding
Jerusalem
The Alchemist

I'm pleasantly surprise that A Tyranny Of Souls is in the Top 10, there are other (expected) classics from its album but the song deserves it imo. It represents the album quite well. It's very effective and has a unique vibe for me.

The other possible ''surprises'' in the Top 10 are probably Omega (yes!) and Alchemist.

Nah, its chorus alone (especially from the second one onwards with the additional lead guitars) makes it one of the best songs in his entire catalogue. It absolutely deserves its spot in the top 10, imo.

Fully agree. Tyranny is in my personal top 5, and it has such a majestic feeling, and that chorus is one of his best!

I completely agree about the chorus, it’s great. But the verses and bridge are just tuneless meandering. I find it to be one of Bruce’s worst vocal compositional moments of all time (barring the great chorus, of course).
