From this list I'd go with Summer Breeze but there are lots that I like more like

Judas Priest - Diamonds & Rust

There are loads of really cool ones.

I know we strayed from the original poll - in a big way -
so I will add - Megadeth's No More Mr. Nice Guy - I thought that was done well -
GNR - Under My Wheels -I thought was fun and upbeat -
and RAVEN - Pack Is Back release - they did a 60's song on that one -

I'll just stick to the poll.

I'll add one to the list just so to promote my Running Wild favorite album track polls, LOL. Next week will be Victory which has a cover of The Beatles "Revolution". Kind of sounds weird on it, but it's there.

So far I like Type O Negative's cover best, but will listen to the rest before voting.

Nobody here will ever just follow a poll, JM. For me n Kyleblack - Intruder slayed that tune.
