Maiden by Eras

[Mountil]

7 options, choose 2.

I’ve taken all of the song ratings from 2014. (The furthest out from TFF to try and avoid new album bias.) I then divided the albums up into eras, and took the top ten song from each era to form albums. Obviously NotB - Powerslave has a huge advantage for having three albums to pull from, but there’s nothing I can do about that.

Also, the amount from each era in the top 50.

IM, Killers - 3

NotB, PoM, Power - 12
SiT, SSoaSS - 9

NPftD, FotD - 2
TXF, VXI - 2

BNW, DoD - 10
AMoLaD, TFF - 12

In the top 50, there are 21 songs from the 5 classic albums, compared to 22 songs from the 4 post reunion albums. Something I found interesting.

If you take the top 25 songs, than both the 5 classic albums, along with the 4 post reunion albums, each have 9 songs.

The top 10 has 5 and 3 respectively.

I’ve taken all of the song ratings from 2014. (The furthest out from TFF to try and avoid new album bias.)

How did you exactly "take" ratings? Which, how from 2014 in particular, when, from who?
Summarized: How did you see ratings were done in a specific year?

Click on the link in the OP. It will open the google document. Scroll to the right, until you see 2014. I was MIA when the voting happened, but I'm assuming that's what it means, unless I'm reading the document wrong.

Perhaps only mods can see when something was rated (others can't see that info). But it could also mean that some countings were done in 2014 (the administration was done in 2014). So, that could mean all these ratings are from all years; cumulative numbers. I sense it is this. But @LooseCannon knows best. Loosey, can you help us out?

IM KILLERs and NOTB POM P. I am sorry for taking out SIT and SSOASS but POM is my favourite Maiden album and Killers is outstanding.
