No more prayer for the lying - the talisman of the longest war is in the shadows.

@Invader
Especially Man on the Edge. Maybe I should have picked the other. The best parts in No Prayer are better than MOTE but the worst parts in No Prayer are worse than MOTE.
Also I had doubts about Out of the Shadows. I have some problems with the unoriginality of the instrumental parts of The Educated Fool but the I love Blaze in the intro and the couplets.
Hmm and your right about your second pick too. I rate those songs about the same. Fortunes of War made a huge impression when I saw it live. I love the heaviness of the slow parts a lot, but Public Enema Number One is just such a great uptempo rocker.

Hallowed be thee, Ancient Ace of the Damned Clansmen of Paschendale!
Immense quality in this round, all songs in my top 25 and a whole lot from my top 10 ... don't think I've given a single one of these songs less than 9 in LooseCanon's thread. Still, the only choice I really hesitated about was Aces High vs Alexander the Great. Wonder how many votes Fear of the Dark is going to get in this round ...

Re: Iron Maiden "Head-to-Head" Song Tournament (Round 6: Group A)
The Evil That Men Do (tough one, chose TETMD because it's a better live song than COTD)
Hallowed Be Thy Name (possibly the only song that could beat FOTD, if you ask me)
Infinite Dreams (easy one, Paschendale is hugely overrated)
Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son (tough one, chose SSOASS because it's catchier)
The Number Of The Beast (easy one, The Clansman is overrated)
Aces High (ATG is a great song, but Aces High is better)
The Evil That Men Do (tough one, chose TETMD because it's a better live song than COTD)

That definitely was a murderer's row.
But only one I struggled with: Damned vs Evil — nine and eight, respectively, on my list eight albums in.
(Hallowed, PFD, ROTAM, Clansman, Aces were my other picks)

Re: Iron Maiden "Head-to-Head" Song Tournament (Round 6: Group A)
That group just killed me. Tough as hell.
Children of the Damned (COTM is 11th, TETMD is 12th in my latest rankings)
Hallowed Be Thy Name (Easiest one in the group.)
Infinite Dreams (Infinite Dreams is 5th, Paschendale is 6th)
Rime of the Ancient Mariner (Another easy one)
The Number of the Beast (I'm not the biggest fan of The Clansman)
Aces High (Both are great but Aces High is in my top ten.)

That was very tough. Are we down to just two groups of songs now?

We're still working with 18 clusters of 8 songs each. I wasn't kidding when I said this will take a while.
Think of this as the Forum Games version of the "Let's try and get 100,000 replies to this post" thread... just slightly more manageable.
Just let it be a part of your day and don't mind it so much. We'll get to the end eventually
