Tournament Of Short Songs (Suggestions)

The list for the game is done. YouTube playlist is done too. Actually everything is pretty much ready to go, but it's too early to post it all, maybe when Instrumentals game gets to its fourth round :) Oh and I changed the name too. More fitting.
 
The only one of my favorite artists that regularly creates "short" songs is Sabaton. I guess Ive never really focused on short songs before since I like to be taken on a musical journey, and when a song ends before it can really begin, I tend to forget about it. Most of my favorite songs are 7+ minutes.

I like Opeth lots.
 
Epilogue of this game will be a battle between Top 8 from this game and Top 8 Iron Maiden short songs based on most recent Iron Maiden Survivor. That would be the songs that got to the quarterfinals/semifinals. You're probably thinking: it's gonna be Aces High, The Trooper, Run To The Hills... NOPE! It's these 8 songs:

Children Of The Damned
Futureal
Judas Be My Guide
Murders In The Rue Morgue
Run Silent Run Deep
Still Life
The Wicker Man
Transylvania

O.o
 
So LooseCannon (THANKS!) made a spreadsheet with all the rankings of all songs from the commentary forum, providing another Top 8:

1. Aces High
2. The Trooper
3. The Wicker Man
4. The Evil That Men Do
5. Children Of The Damned
6. Rainmaker
7. The Number Of The Beast
8. Still Life

So only The Wicker Man, Children Of The Damned and Still Life lived up to their ranking in the latest Survivor.
 
Unsurprising - Survivors only represent the current forum voting makeup and can be really biased. CSIT as #2? bullshit. CSIT as #28? Reasonable.
 
But it makes sense when compiling songs for the current forum to vote on to use the latest survivor results. Also, CSIT is a bad example because of all the pushes for a different-for-the-sake-of-being-different top ten that happened with that game.
 
How can we forget Aces High, The Trooper and Evil? The reason they didn't get as far in the survivor is because they were from earlier albums; Aces made it all the way to the X Factor stage.

I'd add NOTB and Futureal then personally.
