6-5 FotD, Judas vs Silent Planet was very hard
 
I literally regret voting for WW, should have abstained. Two of the only three Maiden songs I actively dislike.

6-5 BNW. Did not expect that. Trickiest one in a while.

Wasting Love isn't a song I revisit often but for what it is I think its pretty good, powerful lyrics and performance by Bruce. Dream of Mirrors, while more my 'type' of Maiden song, I find it a bit long and bland.

The Beckett bit of The Nomad is one of my favourite Maiden instrumental sections but the rest, vocals in particular, gets on my tits so I went with Chains of Misery.

Judas vs Silent Planet was not tricky but Silent Planet would have won out against most of the other FOTD songs. Unlucky draw.

Went with The Apparition for the instrumental. I also like the instrumental in WW but that's about all those 2 songs have going for them.

A live version of FOTD would have beat Thin Line. Probably.

This one was close as it gets. It all came down to ATSS v BNW. An impossible decision, but in the end I decided to go with Strangers, with gave the edge to Fear, 6-5.
