GMD Song Survivor: Iron Maiden - Piece of Mind - Round 1

[Vegard Pompey]

Since we just finished up the 1983 top 10 now might be a good time to do this song survivor. We've all heard this album a million times so this shouldn't require too much investment from you guys. If anyone's unaware how this works, this is a voteoff; you vote for the two worst (or rather, least amazing) songs on the album. When the poll closes, the two songs with the most votes will be removed from the tracklist and I'll host a new poll with those songs removed, and so on until there's one winner.

And please no 'strategic voting' this time or I'll disable vote changing for the next poll. Just vote for the two songs you like the least.

The poll will stay open for 3 days.

The Trooper and Quest for Fire, possibly in that order but maybe not. Every song is excellent, though those two plus DWYBO and Sun & Steel are merely-excellent tier whereas the other five are eternal-classics tier.

 

[Vegard Pompey]

I voted for The Trooper and Sun and Steel but both votes are subject to change. This is like voting off my children.

I am 100% certain what my top pick is, but with a tracklist this solid who knows if it'll even make it to the final round?

"What are the TWO WORST songs on Iron Maiden - Piece of Mind?"
1) the first half of the album
2) the second half of the album

Really tough one! Sun and Steel is the weakest track on the album for sure, the second choice is hard as fuck, but I'll go with Still Life.

pompey forget to include the revelation that eagles dare to die with icarus' boots on, and the still life of the trooper's quest for fire, sun and steel.

Whoever voted for Where Eagles Dare needs to be banned from the forum.

i think you can view who voted for what, once you've voted yourself

Ban away. My least favorite song on the album. Would've voted for it twice if I could have.

@RadicalThrasher You're crazy, that song rules so much.

So many votes for "Sun and Steel" and "Quest for Fire" already? Yeah... This is going to suck for me.

@RadicalThrasher You're crazy

Maybe........I've hit the skip button more than a few times whenever I listen to the album. Just an "ok" song for me on an otherwise great album.

 

[CiG]

At the very least I think it utterly annihilates "Still Life."

 

[RadicalThrasher]

Regardless one of my favorite Maiden albums. Top 3 for sure.

 

[Satanstoenail]

Die With Your Boots On fucking rules you tards

 

[CiG]

I think all the songs rule on this album.

 

[no country for old wainds]

ya it's just that some rule over realms, some rule over nations and others merely rule over tribes or fiefdoms.

 

[EspaDa]

Quest for Fire is much better song than Sun and Steel. It sucks that the former has more votes already.

 

[Vilden]

Who cares about Where Eagles Dare? @Baroque is fucking awful for voting for Flight of Icarus.

 

[Vegard Pompey]

You have no right to complain, you voted for Still Life
