I can't come up with a good sentence with these six, so here goes:

The Legacy
Satelite 15 ... The Final Frontier
Coming Home
Isle of Avalon
Starblind
When The Wild Wind Blows

Just think what the final frontier will leave, as you ride this thunderbird with a corndoll, startripping we will rage against just another when the wild wind blows...

We're now done with Round 1 and into Round 2. After this round, the beginnings of the rankings should start to show

Here were the results from the previous group of songs:
Satellite 15... The Final Frontier > El Dorado
Coming Home > Mother of Mercy
Isle of Avalon > The Alchemist
Starblind > The Talisman
When the Wild Wind Blows > The Man Who Would Be King

Walking through the city, looking all so pretty
YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHh
Is it me or is it shadows that are dancing on the walls?
They'll be saying their prayers when the moment comes, there'll be penance to pay when it's judgement day
I only dream in black and white, I only dream coz I'm alive
See my spirit on the wind, across the lines beyond the hill, friend and foe will meet again...

Spoiler

Prowler
Number of the Beast
The Clairvoyant
Sign of the Cross
Dream of Mirrors
Paschendale

Easiest round yet.

How exactly did you pick which songs come up in this round? Or is it just winners vs winners?

Here's my initial groupings of songs (you can "view image" or copy the url into the address bar to see the full size versioin):

Since it's a 12x12 grid, I used the songs in the same column for the Round 1 groupings and the songs in the same row will be used for the Round 2 groupings. After that, I'll have to analyze the results and regroup the songs according to that.

See, I thought the goal was going to be to have each song go against each other.

As illustrated on the OP, the need to have each song go up against every other song is merely a worst-case scenario, which is highly unlikely because we're applying the transitivity rule.

Re: Iron Maiden "Head-to-Head" Song Tournament (Round 2: Group A)

Yep, you know way more than I know.

 

[valacirca]

Re: Iron Maiden "Head-to-Head" Song Tournament (Round 2: Group A)

Also, I'd hate to have every song go up against every other song since that would take 10,296 pairings... Best-case scenario would be 143 pairings.

 

[Black Thunder]

Re: Iron Maiden "Head-to-Head" Song Tournament (Round 2: Group A)

Same as Jonszat.

 

[Jeffmetal]

Re: Iron Maiden "Head-to-Head" Song Tournament (Round 2: Group A)

Prowler
The Number of the Beast
The Clairvoyant (love SOM, too)
Be Quick or Be Dead
Dream of Mirrors
Paschendale

If we do a round a day we'll be at it for 1716 days or 4.7 years. Woot

Prowler
Sun and Steel

Be Quick or Be Dead (because SotC is gonna win and BQOBD deserves love)
Dream of Mirrors (easiest decision in my life)

The clairvoyant prowler sees the sign of the beast in the mirror as he dreams of Paschendale.
