Re: Iron Maiden Survivor: Non-album songs round 1 (Dec 5-7)

I think it's stated in the rules that if a tiebreaker ends in a new tie, SinisterMinisterX decides which song gets kicked out
I try to avoid that with important tiebreakers, like this one. Just like I ran a tiebreaker at the end of the BNW series, when the rules stated I should have simply chosen a song to eliminate.
If this winds up tied, we'll try again with just Moonchild and BNW. We would effectively be waiting on the 2 Ghost-haters to decide for us...
But with 40 minutes to go, Moonchild has the lead. Hopefully it stays that way* and this is all academic.
* Meaning: hopefully we have a clear winner, whatever song it is.
I have now selected the 14 non-album songs for the next round...
Some hints:
All the Maiden originals which are real songs instead of pointless jams (no Pass The Jam, no More Tea Vicar, not even Roll Over Vic Vella, which is really a Chuck Berry rewrite anyway).
Plus a selection of covers, some of which were requested in this thread. One of them was even released as a single, long ago...
And one song that is none of the above (Maiden didn't write it, but no other band recorded it, so it's not exactly a cover).
Ten more minutes and the list will be unveiled!

"Winner" of round 13.5: Moonchild
A selection of non-album songs have joined the battle; Round 14.1 has now begun.
Eliminated:
11.
Moonchild
12. For The Greater Good Of God
13. The Legacy
14 (tie). These Colours Don't Run
14 (tie). The Longest Day
16. The Reincarnation Of Benjamin Breeg
17. Lord Of Light
18. Different World
19. The Pilgrim
20. Out Of The Shadows
After repeated assaults, Moonchild finally falls.
Aces High and Phantom also survived many attacks, but in the long run Moonchild couldn't match their endurance.
Tough choices this round...
Invasion, Black Bart Blues, Nodding Donkey Blues
