Maiden Albums: Head to Head

[MrKnickerbocker]

6-5 for SSoaSS, though the b-sides count for 3 of my SIT votes.

 

[John Silver]

Reach ouuut, reach ouuuuuuuuuuuuooouut. Fuck me, that's buggersome.

 

[Black Wizard]

Caught Somewhere in Time vs Moonchild
Wasted Years vs Infinite dreams
Sea of Madness vs Can I Play With Madness
Heaven Can Wait vs The Evil That Men Do
Reach Out vs Massacre
The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner vs Seventh Son of a Seventh Son
Stranger in a Strange Land vs The Prophecy
Déjà-Vu vs The Clairvoyant
That Girl vs Black Bart Blues
Juanita vs Sheriff of Huddersfield
Alexander the Great vs Only the Good Die Young

6-5 to 'Seventh Son of a Seventh Son' with 'Somewhere in Time' taking two of the b-sides. I'm not a huge fan of either of these albums in the context of Iron Maiden although two of my absolute favourites in 'The Evil That Men Do' and 'Alexander the Great' are found on them.

 

[Black Bart]

I think I finally got the point of this game: it's getting more and more difficult, isn't it?

Caught Somewhere in Time vs Moonchild
Wasted Years vs Infinite dreams
Sea of Madness vs Can I Play With Madness
Heaven Can Wait vs The Evil That Men Do
Reach Out vs Massacre
The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner vs Seventh Son of a Seventh Son
Stranger in a Strange Land vs The Prophecy
Déjà-Vu vs The Clairvoyant
That Girl vs Black Bart Blues
Juanita vs Sheriff of Huddersfield
Alexander the Great vs Only the Good Die Young

8-3 for SSOASS.

 

[mckindog]

Somewhere in Time knocks of 7th Son on the strength of the B-sides.
And that sets up the final: Somewhere in Time versus Piece of Mind.

 

[Number 6]

7-4 POM. SIT votes were "Wasted Years", "Heaven Can Wait", "Deja-Vu" and "Alex".

 

[Forostar]

8-3 for Somewhere in Time.


The three Piece of Mind songs with votes:

Die With Your Boots On
The Trooper
I Got the Fire

 

[Palpy]

Where Eagles Dare
Wasted Years
Sea of Madness
Heaven Can Wait
Cross-Eyed Mary
The Trooper
Still Life
Dejà Vù
Sun and Steel
Juanita
Alexander the Great

6-5 SIT.

 

[Collin]

9-2 SiT. Revelations and Still Life managed to get votes.

 

[Wogmidget]

7-4 POM. Guess I'm going to have to re-arrange my top 5

 

[Diesel 11]

All SiT except for Eagles, Icarus, Trooper, and Still Life.

 

[Edington]

Caught Somewhere in Time
Revelations
Flight of Icarus
Die With Your Boots On
Trooper
Stranger in a Strange Land
Deja Vu
Sun and Steel
Alexander the Great

B-sides would make this an unfair contest again. As it stands, PoM wins, which I'd rather, but if I were to vote for the B-sides SiT would win.

(I know I voted SAS against That Girl, but the latter is good enough for me to actually consider voting for it )

 

[Black Wizard]

Caught Somewhere in Time vs Where Eagles Dare
Wasted Years vs Revelations
Sea of Madness vs Flight of Icarus
Heaven Can Wait vs Die With Your Boots On
Reach Out vs Cross-Eyed Mary
The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner vs The Trooper
Stranger in a Strange Land vs Still Life
Deja Vu vs Quest for Fire
That Girl vs Sun and Steel
Juanita vs I Got the Fire
Alexander the Great vs To Tame A Land

8-3 to 'Piece of Mind, the greatest album ever made. By the way, is 'I Got the Fire' a sequel to 'Quest for Fire'?

 

[Confeos]

CSIT vs Where Eagles Dare
Wasted Years vs Revelations
Sea of Madness vs Flight of Icarus
Heaven Can Wait vs Die With Your Boots On
Reach Out vs Cross-Eyed Mary
TLOTLDR vs The Trooper
Stranger in a Strange Land vs Still Life
Deja-Vu vs Quest For Fire
That Girl vs Sun and Steel
Juanita vs I Got the Fire
Alexander the Great vs To Tame a Land

10-1 for Piece of Mind.

 

[Forostar]

Still Life better than Stranger?
Revelations better than Wasted Years?

And Sun and Steel better than That Girl?

Come on.

 

[Black Wizard]

Revelations better than Wasted Years?

And Sun and Steel better than That Girl?

Yes to both.

 

[frus]

Still Life better than Stranger?

...and this too

 

[Forostar]

Would not have thought the majority of the voters would agree with you guys. I can only hope it can change still.

 

[Black Wizard]

...and this too

Not that one.

 

[Confeos]

A million times yes to all three
