Maiden Albums: Head to Head

[permanenteddie]

Moonchild vs Futureal
Infinite Dreams vs The Angel and the Gambler
Can I Play With Madness vs Lightning Strikes Twice (the chorus of LST is painful to hear but the rest of the song is way better than CIPWM)
The Evil That Men Do vs The Clansman (the most difficult choice of the list but TETMD's instrumental and solo are too short)
Massacre vs Virus
Seventh Son of a Seventh Son vs When Two Worlds Collide
The Prophecy vs The Educated Fool
The Clairvoyant vs Don't Look to the Eyes of a Stranger
Black Bart Blues vs Judgement Day
Sheriff of Huddersfield vs Justice of the Peace
Only the Good Die Young vs Como Estais Amigos (I always enjoyed Como Estais Amigos and still look at it as one of the best of VXI...difficult choice as well)

6-5 for SSOASS

6-5 Seventh Son.
6-2 if you take out the non-album tracks which is more of a reflection on how I view these albums. The 2 VXI votes were Lightning and The Educated Fool. Clansman is unlucky here, it would win against maybe 5 other 7th Son songs.
I really think Lightning could have been a classic. Poor lyrics and poor chorus delivery but musically its a great rocker, especially live.

Como Estais Amigos is getting crushed and I have never been sadder.

Beautiful, majestic song. Maybe Blaze’s finest that he wrote.

 

[Cat Milk Supreme]

I like it but used to like it more. At this stage I dont think it would top any song on 7th Son, for me. Maybe Madness. I used to love it but now it seems a little umdercooked, a bot flat.

Hey, I've been defending the song on these forums for longer than you've been around!

 

[Number 6]

And I started to like that song because of you guys!

 

[LooseCannon]

It's not a great song. But it is pretty much precisely what it sets out to be, and it has some places where it's pretty good.

 

[Diesel 11]

It's not a great song.

I beg to differ, but then I'm Diesel "Maiden Have Never Made A Bad Song" 11, so...

I didn't say it was a bad song.

 

[Diesel 11]

Yes, but I consider it a "great" song.
