Interesting matchups. I'm indifferent to most of these because I either love them equally or don't care for them equally.

The Assassin
Holy Smoke
From Here to Eternity
Fallen Angel
Can I Play With Madness
The Prophecy
Lord of Light
Out of the Shadows
Mother Russia

I really struggled with those last two, went over the songs over and over. I love them all nearly equally. So I just went with my knee-jerk responses.
 
The last 3 match-ups were very difficult decisions for me, as was the Fallen Angel vs Judgement Of Heaven match-up. The others were total no-brainers for me!

The Assassin
Holy Smoke
Age Of Innocence
Judgement Of Heaven
Can I Play With Madness
Sun And Steel
Lord Of Light
Out Of The Shadows

Hooks In You

The Fallen Angel

Sun And Steel (Hard one to choose. The Prophecy is wonderful!)
Judas Be My Guide
Out Of The Shadows

I am gladly surprised about the outcome (unless things change) of the first and the last two match-ups.
I always had the idea that I saw more negative criticism on the songs that are winning and more positive comments on the songs that are losing. But the cool thing of this game is that we see these songs in different contexts now.
 
What's really surprising me is how convincingly The Assassin is beating Hooks In You. I've seen far more criticsm and scorn levelled at the former song here, than the latter one. To me, The Assassin is clearly the better song, although I love Hooks too. So I'm pleased to see it winning so easily. :)
 
To be clear guys — both Assassin and Hooks are finishing in the bottom eight. ;)
 
Hooks in You is quite probably the bottom of my maiden list, and a song I actually dislike as opposed to "like less than the others".
