TFF Songs In Order of how you like them

Hey, you're entitled to your opinion.

I think the Isle of Avalon is my favorite song of the reunion (Paschendale is standing behind me learing over at the computer screen in a personified form as I type this. I'm sorry baby, I have to quit you.), and I love the Alchemist.
 
After 3 full listenings, for now:

The Man Who Would Be King
Starblind
When The Wild Wind Blows
Isle Of Avalon
Mother Of Mercy
El Dorado
The Talisman
Satellite 15...The Final Frontier
Coming Home
The Alchemist

What an album!!! :edmetal:
 
After days and days of TFF addiction, this is the current order:

When The Wild Wind Blows (my favourite IM song ever)
Starblind
Isle of Avalon
The Talisman
Coming Home
Mother of Mercy
The Man Who Would Be King
The Alchemist
Satellite 15...the Final Frontier (I actually love TFF but Satellite 15 makes it boring after some listens)
El Dorado

There are no fillers imo so it's an amazing album and this order can easily change in some days, except the nº 1 spot! :wub:
 
When the Wild Wind Blows
Satellite 15...the Final Frontier
The Alchemist
The Talisman
Starblind
Coming Home
El Dorado
Mother of Mercy
Isle of Avalon
The Man Who Would Be King
 
Still have an awful lot of listening to do before a concrete opinion is formed, but for now:

1. When the Wild Wind Blows
2. Coming Home
3. The Talisman
4. Mother of Mercy
5. Satellite 15... The Final Frontier
6. Isle of Avalon
7. The Alchemist
8. Starblind
9. El Dorado
10. The Man Who Would Be King

Isle of Avalon and Starblind may well shoot up in the future. They're not there yet, but they're growing on me quickly.
 
I don't understand the dislike for The Alchemist.  I absolutely love it.  It's a great 80's throwback that the album really needed.
 
The guitar tones on The Alchemist are wonderful! The intro is one of Maiden's catchiest melodies, I simply love it!!! The song is very good, but on an album with this level of magnificence, it might get a bit outshined.
 
I'm sorry to say but I was pretty disappointed in this album and it's easily my least favourite of the post-reunion material.

1.  The Talisman
2.  The Man Who Would Be King
3.  Coming Home

5.  Starblind
6.  El Dorado

Altering my list in view of my newly found appreciation of MWWBK:

3) Coming Home
4) MWWBK
5) The Alchemist
6) Starblind
7) Isle of Avalon
8) El Dorado
9) Mother of Mercy

1. Coming Home
2. WTWWB
3. The Talisman
4. The Man Who Would Be King
5. Mother of Mercy
6. Starblind
7. Isle of Avalon
8. El Dorado
9. The Alchemist
10. Satellite 15... The Final Frontier
Here's the running tally so far:

1. When the Wild Wind Blows = 309
2. The Talisman = 286
3. Starblind = 272
4. Coming Home = 250
5. Isle of Avalon = 231
6. The Man Who Would Be King = 189
7. Mother of Mercy = 183
8. The Alchemist = 150
9. Satellite 15... The Final Frontier = 139
10. El Dorado = 136

What I did is assign 1st place songs 10 points, 2nd place songs 9 points... and so on and so forth... and last place songs 1 point. What you see above are the point totals for each song.

These are from 39 unique rankings that have been cast. It was just a pain to tally everything since there were so many revisions in rankings... some people treated S15 and TFF as different tracks... there were a lot of comments to weed out... acronyms and weird spellings to fix so that each track would be recognized as the same on the spreadsheet.

If I'm to tally things again in the future, I can't account for future revisions of those who've already voted, but I can still take into account future first-time rankers/voters.

Interesting to see that the biggest point discrepancy is between positions 5 and 6 --- as if the better five are that distinct from the worse five. Although spots 7 and 8 are quite far as well.
