Maiden Albums: Head to Head

[Mosh]

Very close .6-5 in favor of TFF

 

[LooseCannon]

6-5 TFF as well.

 

[JudasMyGuide]

Well… 9-2 in favour of TFF in the biggest landslide so far.

 

[Cat Milk Supreme]

8-3 Beast.
TFF votes were Coming Home, Talisman and Man Who Would Be King.

 

[MrKnickerbocker]

6-5 in favor of The Final Frontier....WHAT?!

The hard votes here were:

Satellite 15...which, although it is not a song, at least is far more listenable than the obnoxious Invaders.
Alchemist over NOTB, solely because I'm incredibly sick of the latter. And yet...
...Run to the Hills over Isle of Avalon, which has really fallen out of favor with me over the years.
I will always voted for Hallowed, it's a shame Wild Wind is pared with it.

 

[JudasMyGuide]

Satellite 15...which, although it is not a song, at least is far more listenable than the obnoxious Invaders.
Alchemist over NOTB, solely because I'm incredibly sick of the latter.

 

[Ariana]

Before I started voting, I thought this would be a landslide in favour of TFF because I kind of dislike TNOTB, but I ended up voting 6-5 for TFF only. Eh.

 

[permanenteddie]

9-2 for NOTB, I'm not surprised since TFF is, imho, the weakest of their 00's albums

Invaders vs Satellite 15…
Children of the Damned vs The Final Frontier
The Prisoner vs El Dorado
22 Acacia Avenue vs Mother of Mercy
Prowler’88 vs Coming Home
Number of the beast vs The Alchemist
Run to the hills vs Isle of Avalon
Gangland vs Starblind
Total Eclipse vs The Talisman
Charlotte’88 vs The man who would be king
Hallowed be thy name vs When the wild wind blows

 

[Number 6]

Voted for "Invaders", "Children of the Damned", "The Prisoner", "22 Acacia Avenue" and "The Number of the Beast" from TNOTB, the rest is TFF.

 

[Srogyy]

Oooof... A couple of tough ones. Particularly HBtN vs WtWWB.

[frus]

7-4 Beast
The only tough one was The Alchemist (which I LOVE), but TNOTB is better

 

[Magnus]

The only tough one was Invaders (which I HATE), but Satellite 15... is, er.

 

[Diesel 11]

Invaders vs Satellite 15...
Children of the Damned vs The Final Frontier
The Prisoner vs El Dorado
22 Acacia Avenue vs Mother of Mercy
Prowler '88 vs Coming Home
The Number of the Beast vs The Alchemist
Run To The Hills vs Isle of Avalon
Gangland vs Starblind
Total Eclipse vs The Talisman
Charlotte '88 vs The Man Who Would Be King
Hallowed Be Thy Name vs When The Wild Wind Blows

So TFF only gets three. Figures.

 

[Confeos]

Invaders vs Satellite 15 (Invaders isn't exactly good, but then again, neither is Satellite)
Children of the Damned vs The Final Frontier
The Prisoner vs El Dorado
22 Acacia Avenue vs Mother of Mercy
Prowler '88 vs Coming Home
The Number of the Beast vs The Alchemist (tough call)
Run to the Hills vs Isle of Avalon
Gangland vs Starblind
Total Eclipse vs The Talisman (another tough one)
Charlotte '88 vs The Man Who Would Be King
Hallowed Be Thy Name vs When the Wild Wind Blows

7-4. (Almost) pretty straightforward, just a few ones I had to think twice about. The Number of the Beast isn't the masterpiece some may think it is, but The Final Frontier really is the weakest album since the reunion.

 

[frus]

Well this is the first time that all the songs I voted for are in the lead

 

[The Flash]

7-4 for TFF.

 

[Lampwick 43]

6-5 for TFF. The only really difficult decision was RTTH vs Avalon. I ended up going with the latter after some deliberation.

 

[Brigantium]

I'm feeling sympathetic to TFF here. Children v TFF was nasty because I couldn't vote against Children even if I'm fond of the Pocket Rocker. I'm usually pro 22AA too, but been enjoying Mother of Mercy a lot lately.

 

[LooseCannon]

I'm surprised at the level of support for Satellite 15.

 

[Mosh]

Way more adventurous and interesting than the subpar NWOBHM leftover that is Invaders.
