This batch of survivors just started, but the next one will have Seventh Son and No Prayer running together. One will be torture, the other a lot easier, hehe! So many awesome songs on the first, and so many songs to vote out without a second thought on the latter...

Yes, my least favorite Bruce album. NP obviously that is.

I mean, we can do that. I didn't have specific plans to, but it could be a fun bonus thing.

Great results! I knew it would be impossible for me to get Flash of the Blade into the top 3 but atleast both finalists are the ones I would've picked and Aces High is my #4.

Looking forward to Seventh Son :metal

Powerslave survivor went exactly as I wanted it, a pity however that Powerslave didn't win for just a vote.

Man I already have headaches about the Seventh Son one, the No Prayer one will be cathartic after that one!

Stranger has nothing on Wasted Years, boo!  :tdwn

Also, i personally love Heaven Can Wait. Bummed that it ended up at the 6th spot. I know it isn't that loved but still is the most played (at live concerts) song from this album.

Somewhere in Time went okay, I guess. Alexander is the only song that I really love, so I'm glad that it made the finals. Shame about Sea of Madness leaving so early, and about Wasted Years existing.

Seventh Son of a Seventh Son Round 7 Results:

Infinite Dreams - 14 votes - 50.0%
Seventh Son of a Seventh Son - 14 votes - 50.0%



Total Votes Received (Second Tiebreaker):
Infinite Dreams - 27 votes
Seventh Son of a Seventh Son - 21 votes


Seventh Son of a Seventh Son is the Seventh Son of a Seventh Son album champion!

Results:
1. Seventh Son of a Seventh Son
2. Infinite Dreams

3. The Evil That Men Do
4. Moonchild
5. The Clairvoyant
6. Only the Good Die Young
7. The Prophecy
8. Can I Play With Madness

____________

Alright, I'm pretty happy with the way that turned out. Given the choice, I probably would have put The Clairvoyant in consolations instead of The Evil That Men Do, but the difference in quality between those songs is so razor thin that my preference for The Clairvoyant there is like I would prefer it 51% of the time to 49% for The Evil, so I'm good with this. The top two were the right top two.

I'm going to go ahead and start up the spinoff Album Survivor (which will have no effect on the results of the main survivor) right now, and that will run alongside the No Prayer for the Dying survivor, and then keep running as Fear of the Dark and The X Factor start on schedule. So there will be a time when three survivors are running at once, but one of those three will just be a spinoff, while there will still just be two main survivors.

I also plan to run a live album survivor sometime down the road. If there are any other spinoff survivors that people think would be good, please let me know!

We could have, if not a survivor 'cause it would be too long and tedious, a b-sides match.

Maybe a poll with multiple choices, "pick your favorite 5-10" or something like that, to have more songs to eliminate at once.

I like Clairvoyant a ton too but it's hard. I mean, Evil That Men Do or Seventh Son would have to stay out of the top 3.

No Prayer for the Dying Round 9 Results:

No Prayer for the Dying - 8 votes - 38.1%
Mother Russia - 13 votes - 61.9%


No Prayer for the Dying is the No Prayer for the Dying album champion!

Results:
1. No Prayer for the Dying
2. Mother Russia

3. Run Silent Run Deep
4. Tailgunner

5. Public Enema Number One
6. Holy Smoke
7. Fates Warning
8. The Assassin
9. Hooks In You
10. Bring Your Daughter... To the Slaughter

____________

Well, that one did get my top 3. It messed with the order a bit, as I would have the title track third and Mother Russia first, but it went alright, nonetheless.

Fear of the Dark got underway yesterday; The X Factor begins right now, and the album survivor continues as normal.

I'd be willing to run this, but I wouldn't vote because I don't know that many of the b-sides. I don't know how many people would be willing to vote in this. Can anyone who would want to do this reply in the thread, just so I know how many people we're talking about?

I only find that there are a few b-sides that I like by IM.  Most are terrible IMO, the Blaze b-sides are the best.

I have Eddie's archive so I have the Best of the B-Sides CDs, but after my initial listenings, I don't come back to it because I find most of the songs aren't good personally.

My personal favorites

Women in Uniform
I've Got the Fire
Virus
Judgement Day

Fear of the Dark Round 11 Results:

Afraid to Shoot Strangers - 7 votes - 36.8%
Fear of the Dark - 12 votes - 63.2%


Afraid to Shoot Strangers is the Fear of the Dark album champion!

Results:
1. Afraid to Shoot Strangers
2. Fear of the Dark

3. Be Quick or Be Dead
4. Judas Be My Guide

5. Wasting Love
6. The Fugitive
7. Fear Is the Key
8. From Here to Eternity
9. Childhood's End
10. Chains of Misery
11. The Apparition
12. Weekend Warrior

____________

I mostly agree with the results here. Personally, I think Be Quick or Be Dead ended up a bit too high, but I'm not too sad about Wasting Love missing out on consolations, because I don't think it really deserves it.

We're going to go ahead and let The X Factor finish out, and then get Virtual XI and Brave New World going. I'll try to be better about posting threads every day. I'll also plan to start a live album survivor once the studio album survivor finishes.

As regards the b-side survivor, there doesn't really seem to be a lot of interest. I don't know many of those and wouldn't participate myself, and MirrorMask and cramx3 are the only ones who expressed interest in this thread. So I'm going to go ahead and say I'm not going to run that one unless there's a flood of interest all of a sudden, but if MirrorMask or someone else wants to run it as an "Iron Maiden Spinoff" and see if it can get enough voters to work, I wouldn't mind that.

Album Survivor Round 15 Results:

Somewhere In Time - 15 votes - 60.0%
Seventh Son of a Seventh Son - 10 votes - 40.0%


Seventh Son of a Seventh Son is the album survivor champion!

Results:
1. Seventh Son of a Seventh Son
2. Somewhere In Time
3. Powerslave
4. Piece of Mind
5. Brave New World
6. The Number of the Beast
7. The Book of Souls
8. A Matter of Life and Death
9. Dance of Death
10. The Final Frontier
11. Iron Maiden
12. Killers
13. The X Factor
14. Fear of the Dark
15. No Prayer for the Dying
16. Virtual XI

____________

These results pretty much match up with what I expected to see. I like the reunion albums and The X Factor more than the consensus does, but what else is new. SSOASS wouldn't necessarily be my first choice, but it's a worthy album to sit atop that list nonetheless.
