IRON MAIDEN REFERENDUM 2020: Results -> Hallowed Be Thy Name wins for the 5th time!

[Night Prowler]

If I understand the rules correctly, Wasting Love is going to survive this round with From Here to Eternity and Childhood's End getting the axe, and then NPFTD will show up.

This.

 

[Night Prowler]

Voted for For The Greater Good Of God, The Legacy, Be Quick Or Be Dead, From Here To Eternity, Childhood's End and Judas Be My Guide.

Wasting Love
Tailgunner
The Assassin
Run Silent
Hooks in You
Bring Your Daughter
Mother Russia

 

[karljant]

Wasting Love (easy)
Hooks In You (easy)
then i´ll go with Judas, Holy Smoke, No Prayer and Public Enema.

 

[The Flash]

Be Quick or Be Dead, Wasting Love, Tailgunner, Holy Smoke, Fates Warning, The Assassin, Hooks in You, Bring Your Daughter to the Slaughter

I probably like BQoBD more than NPFTD, but I want the obvious Top 3 from FOTD to get promoted.

 

[Jer]

The Legacy
Afraid To Shoot Strangers
Fear Of The Dark
Holy Smoke
No Prayer For The Dying
Public Enema Number One
The Assassin
Hooks In You
Mother Russia

 

[Diesel 11]

Be quick! The reincarnation of light wastes no prayer on the assassin’s warning.

 

[KidInTheDark666]

Guys, it's useless to vote for the AMOLAD songs here. We all know that the weakest five from No Prayer are going out.

 

[The Dissident]

All of No Prayer barring: The title track, Fates Warning, Bring Your Daughter and Mother Russia
Strangers
Judas
The Legacy

 

[DJ James]

Be Quick or Be Dead
Wasting Love
Holy Smoke
Hooks in You

 

[mckindog]

Fear of the Dark is a better album than No Prayer.
It might have lower lows, but its highs are higher and it simply has more good songs.

 

[matic22]

All of NPFTD minus the title track.

 

[Brigantium]

Legacy, Be Quick..., Tailgunner, Holy Smoke, Fates Warning, The Assassin, Hooks In You.

Sad to see Wasting Love getting a kicking.

 

[Perun]

Sad to see Wasting Love getting a kicking.

Surprised it held out for so long.

I think NPFTD is a really fun album and one that I play more often than many other Maiden albums. It was a step into a more raw and unpolished realm which worked out because the instrumental Maiden drive is absolutely present. Songs like Bring Your Daughter and Hooks in You were once laughable for me but I've come to enjoy this hard rock side of Maiden a lot.

 

[KidInTheDark666]

Only 3 votes for Run Silent Run Deep? Did people forget that it exists or something?

 

[Ariana]

I have grown to like NPFTD a lot in recent years, so I agree with Saap. In fact, I think it's significantly better than FOTD.

Bring Your Daughter and Hooks in You were once laughable for me but I've come to enjoy this hard rock side of Maiden a lot.

I don't think Bring Your Daughter is Hard Rock at all... The refrain is obviously metal, the choral part is eerie as hell and the bridge is before the soloing is really Maiden blueprint. The only exception is the verses that have that MJ's Thriller bass driven feel to it (that serves serves perfectly the intent with which it was initially written). Great song... too bad the lyrics are so corny. And yes, Hooks In You is definitely hard rock but, with the exception of the "I got my hooks in you" bridge, I think that it's really weak. Just doesn't work out for me as the vast majority of Maiden's pure hard rock stuff.
