Top Tune from "Crusader" by Saxom

The metal-head crystal ball shows signs of another title track victory.

IMHO, "Crusader" is the top tune on this album. Yet, compared to the rest of the tunes...it seems out of place.

So far in these polls, the results pretty much look like the songs you'd find on a compilation album.

"Crusader" for me. I enjoy "Just Let Me Rock" as well.

Voted Crusader. I dig Just Let Me Rock, Sailing to America, and A Little Bit Of What You Fancy as well.

Crusader

Just Let Me Rock

The obvious pick -Crusader

I'll go a little outside the box on this one. "Sailing To America" for me! I like "Crusader," too, of course, but I prefer the orchestrated version.

Another vote here for Crusader. I am also partial to A little bit... / Set me free / and Sailing to America.

The title track, easily. Very easily.

Just let me rock

Actually I've always LOVED that cover of Set Me Free!!!


Crusader and Just Let Me Rock are my follow up contenders...

I was thinking about future heavy metal CD possibilities -
and Saxon - and Motorhead - they alone came to mind -
These 2 bands are big time HEAVY hitters -
for decades and decades - tour warriors
Bad A**

Before this poll gets buried behind pages of threads, I just want to state that I am super surprised "Sailing to America" only received one vote. I knew the title track would dominate, but I thought Sailing would get at least a 3 or 4 votes; it is such a killer track.

Yeah, that's a great song.

Wow, interesting how "Crusader" dominated this poll. I'm going with "Bad Boys (Live to Rock N' Roll)"

It's a Saxon classic, possibly their most memorable and best song ever.

The rest of the album is definitely not their best material.

Understatement, aside from the classic and "Sailing to America", the rest is pure drivel!

Great song, highly underrated, yet in no way is this going to trump the title track!

Slightly off topic, but if you click on my signature, you get to my rateyourmusic-page and that's where I have the Saxon discography ranked.
