Iron Maiden Survivor 2016 - Iron Maiden - Round 8
« on: February 18, 2016, 04:37:10 PM »
Round 7 Results:

Remember Tomorrow - 9 votes - 39.1%
Phantom of the Opera - 1 vote - 4.3%
Transylvania - 13 votes - 56.5%


Eliminated:
1.
2.

3. Transylvania
4. Prowler
5. Strange World
6. Running Free
7. Sanctuary
8. Iron Maiden
9. Charlotte the Harlot


Perhaps unsurprisingly, the instrumental Transylvania is voted out. It will make consolations, however, while Remember Tomorrow and Phantom of the Opera continue to the finals. Which one will take the Iron Maiden album crown?

____________

The voting on this album so far has gone pretty closely to how I would rank this album. I would probably switch Prowler and Strange World, but otherwise I'm good with the ranking we have here. I imagine that Phantom of the Opera will win this one pretty handily, but personally, I think these are both great songs, definitely in my top 30 Maiden tracks. Remember Tomorrow is a really beautiful song and is kind of different than anything else in the discography, in no small part of because of Di'Anno's vocal approach. Phantom of the Opera, however, is just too good. It's the prototypical Maiden epic and it's really an excellent song that stands the test of time.

Remember Tomorrow

Phantom of the Opera
I've been drinking beer since I was 18 and dabbled since I was 16. I have at least 500 beer bottles in my collection and love the fancy shit though my wallet doesn't. I'll drink liquor not even five times a year including shots or mixed drinks. Jack Daniels and Coke is an easy go-to for me. Very smooth nads candy sweet.

The obvious choice. I love RT but Phantom is on another level.
people on this board are actual music fans who developed taste in music and not casual listeners who are following current fashion trends and listening to only current commercial hits.

"If you get this song, you get Iron Maiden"

Bruce about Phantom of the Opera on the Early Days tour.

Therefore... bye bye Remember Tomorrow!
I use my sig to pimp some bands from Italy! Check out Elvenking (Power / Folk metal), Folkstone (Rock / Medieval metal), Arcana Opera (Gothic/Noir/Heavy metal) and the beautiful voice of Elisa!

I can't really complain about this result.  only things I'd swap would be Iron Maiden last, then Charlotte, and I'd reverse SW and RF.  nice tho.
