Where Eagles Dare is the penultimate song to be eliminated in consolations.

____________

And with that, my entire top four from consolations is eliminated. So my main voting stake here is keeping the most undeserving song out of finals.

Rainmaker

[425]

Just a note that this is in fact the last round of consolations because the remaining four songs will all advance to finals, and I don't see much of point in precisely ranking the top four consolations songs, since they'll be ranked once and for all in finals (unless a bunch of people post in this thread that they feel really strongly like that's something that has to be done).

When I record the consolations results for posterity in the results thread, I'll just order them by total votes received during consolations, obviously with the least total votes getting #1, second least #2, etc. I don't know for sure off the top of my head, but my guess is that the total vote count goes like this: The Evil That Men Do < Aces High < The Number of the Beast < Rainmaker < The Book of Souls (the only part of that I'm shaky about is whether Beast or Rainmaker received more).

The Book of Souls

Rainmaker, but it was a tough call against the brilliant but massively overplayed 666.

Fucking finally.

The Number of the Beast

I really don't get the argument that because the song is overplayed that makes it less good than it is.. I mean, it can upset you about the band's decision of the setlist, but actually changing the way you feel about the song is an entirely different thing..



Anyways, went with The Book of Souls..

Yeah, but my undecision was because I don't really "super-love" the song. Enjoy it very much, yes, consider it one of my all time Maiden favorites, no. I consider The Trooper another super overplayed song but I never get tired of hearing it live.
