Cool!  It´s a pleasure to have you with us! It seems that War of kings will have many supporters. I´m a little afraid for the 80´s songs. In this forum we have a special preference for the new Europe (quite obviously). Will somebody defend the classic tunes?  |

But when we speak of "EUROPE's Classics" we refer to all the songs from the first stage? or we are talking about the songs from TFC, OOTW and PIP albums? Because EUROPE has TWO Stages and within the first stage in turn is divided into two periods:
1) Period PRE The Final Countdown
and
2) Period POST The Final Countdown and in this second is where there are a lot of classics for the world in general, ... but the album Wings of Tomorrow is full of classics for us right? I guess so, I mean: SEVEN DOORS HOTEL is a classic Europe's song ?

When I refer to classic EUROPE songs, I refer to the first five albums. Yes, me too. But I see your point, Eva. In general people might think of the classics as the most popular songs of the band. However for us, die hard followers, it has a broader meaning and includes all the production of the "golden age", the whole era before the splitting. And, back to what I meant before, in the perspective of our little game, I'm a bit worried for the songs of this first era. The problem is that it is very hard to compare songs from different periods. Since we are here I assume that we all like the musical path that the band has taken. The trap here could be that we discard "classics" just because we had them too much, we have forgot how they sound to a first listening, or we simply are at the moment "in love" with a new song. In the first battle we were very careful about that and the result was very balanced but this time the two eras will face each other since the earliest stages of the game. I don't want to give any direction here (independent evaluation is one of the key values of the game). I only suggest, when in doubt between two or more songs, always to listen back to the songs in contest. You will find out things that you might have forgotten about a "classic" even if you had already listened to it 5 million times in the past(that happens to me often when I listen to a song that I haven't heard since a long time and it suddendly appears random in the playlist of my mp3 player). Anyway, I hope that among us there are many people like Marina Art (welcome on board  , it's great to have you here!): die hard fans that still have in the highest regard also the songs of the first era  |

I will attend too, with pleasure. Great! Thank you very much for your feedback! If I remember correctly you were not among the voters of the first battle so your opinions (as the ones of all the users that will decide to join, even sporadically) are especially precious to the spirit of this new game. I hope you'll have some fun. |

Yeah, we have defined what is "Europe's Classic," I agree with Stein and ent, for me Scream of Anger is a classic of Europe, but (and this is a topic for another thread) I also believe that Europe's music has 3 stages and not 2
so EPIC BATTLE indeed ...
