"Different World" vs "Satellite 15"
"These Colours Don't Run" vs "The Final Frontier"
"Brighter Than a Thousand Suns" vs "El Dorado"
"The Pilgrim" vs "Mother of Mercy"
"The Longest Day" vs "Coming Home"
"Out of the Shadows" vs "The Alchemist"
"The Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg" vs "Isle of Avalon"
"For the Greater Good of God" vs "Starblind"
"Lord of Light" vs "The Talisman"
"Hocus Pocus" vs "The Man Who Would Be King"
"The Legacy" vs "When the Wild Wind Blows"

8-3 for AMOLAD. Pretty easy and straightforward choices (although I would've liked to see "Out of the Shadows" paired up with "Coming Home").
 
I’m more surprised than Lord of Light is beating The Talisman, I always thought the Talisman was pretty well liked while Lord of Light was kinda meh..

Lord Of Light >> Talisman, easily

FTGGOG vs Starblind was toughest, but went with Starblind
 
A good, old-fashioned thumping as AMOLAD dumps The Final Frontier 9-2.
Not sure it's because the board's make-up has changed, or because TFF hasn't withstood the test of time, but it has evolved into one of the forum's less appreciated efforts.
There was a time when Starblind was a top-10 candidate around here and tracks like Wild Wind and Coming Home and Avalon would have performed a lot better than they did here.

On to Iron Maiden versus Piece of Mind.
 
Everything from POM except for "Phantom", "Burning Ambition", "Women In Uniform", and "Iron Maiden".
 
Prowler vs Where Eagles Dare
Remember Tomorrow vs Revelations
Running Free vs Flight of Icarus
Phantom of the Opera vs Die With Your Boots On
Burning Ambition
vs Cross Eyed Mary
Transylvania vs The Trooper
Strange World
vs Still Life
Sanctuary vs Quest for Fire
Charlotte the Harlot vs Sun and Steel
Women in Uniform vs I Got the Fire
Iron Maiden vs To Tame A Land

8-3 to 'Piece of Mind', the greatest album. This head-to-head worked quite well as all the b-sides are coupled together.
