This round 1 already shows what I think of Mob Rules for quite some years.
It has only 3 strong songs. The rest is not that good and will disappear soon.

Overrated album. People rave about it because Dio is on it, but when it comes to songs, they melt like snow in the sun.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks of this as overrated. In fact it really hit me how overrated it is by voting in the survivor.
 
I missed the previous round. Now I see that we have only 3 Heaven and Hell songs left as well.
But the other songs from that album went with some older Rainbow song(s) and I have a hunch that now all the lesser Mob Rules songs will go alone, first.
 
Oh wow. Didn't noticed that either. Very surprising about Neon Knights, that was a top 3 song in a survivor IIRC.
 
Heaven and Hell has more strong tracks, but between the weaker tracks on TMR and HNH, I prefer the TMR ones.

Neon Knights went because something had to go, and whilst it's an awesome track... it's not as strong as the remaining Rainbow stuff for me (Although, Whilst I've been listening to the albums regularly since the survivor started, Self Portrait has really grown on me over time.. but it didn't start to take until after it was already out)
 
I disagree and think Neon Knights kicks most Rainbow and TMR songs (naturally not Stargazer). Amazing midsection in which Geezer plays a very melodic pattern underneath Tony's solo. Mindblowing stuff.

I really like this Iron Savior cover, featuring a nice solo by Kai Hansen:
 
Personally I don't think Neon Knights is that great, although it is definitely a good song, just nothing outstanding. I'm just still shocked at the loss of Tarot Woman (which I thought was a huge top 10 chance).
 
Slipping Away, Over and Over and E5150 have been eliminated.

My best song on the album is easy. My 2nd song from Mob Rules is very hard, I'll need some time to think about it.
