MASTER! and WASP. Can't stand the vocals in Achilles.

Also, NP...where are your songs and why haven't they appeared sooner...?

 

[mckindog]

Much better group of songs here than in the previous.
Puppets is a nice tune, but Thel is one of my all-time favourite songs.

I wasn't overly familiar with the other two, but they are both excellent songs
Achilles is that nice mix of heavy and mystical that Zep does so well, but the slow boil of Idol will get my vote.

 

[RTC]

That first pair perfectly encompasses great songs that have been overhyped for me personally. Went with Book.

Easily ALS in the second pair, Zeppelin's best work.

 

[Stardust]

You know...had I actually thought before posting my list for this game, this would be it.

[SinisterMinisterX]

Bruce & Zep, though it deeply pains me to vote against Master of Puppets.

 

[The Flash]

Bruce & Zeppelin

 

[Night Prowler]

Book Of Thel vs. Master Of Puppets is one of the toughest matches in the game so far... after relistening (as I do each round), the latter is slightly more consistent.

The Idol vs. Achilles Last Stand was easy. One song is an awesome ballad with an awesome solo, the other one is an overrated annoying song by an overrated annoying band.

 

[Cornfed Hick]

Master is the better song, but Bruce will win because This Forum.

Achilles is miles and miles better than the wimpy Idol, but Zeppelin is in a tight race because This Forum. I think it's funny that certain members are actually voting for cheesy power ballads like Idol and November Rain over the Hammer of the Gods. What next, Winger over Kashmir?

 

[Black Wizard]

I can't choose between Bruce and Metallica.

 

[Forostar]

Then choose between their songs.

 

[SinisterMinisterX]

Then choose between their songs.

Indeed. Because if it's a choice for me between solo Bruce and Master-era 'tallica, I choose Metallica. But on the song, it's Thel.

The Idol is a whiny song from from a whiny album. It already over stayed its welcome.
