It's very tough but I would go with:

1. Blackbird
2. ABIII
3. Fortress
4. The Last Hero
5. ODR

Although 1-3 are pretty close to one another in fact.

I like that there are so many different opinions here. Sign of a good band :)

I think we might find a pattern throughout these posts in that people who put ABIII first (or close to first) will likely have ODR on place 5, and vice versa.

I did not come via Creed fandom and discovered AB during the III era, wonder if others tend to rank ODR higher because they were Creed fans or discovered AB then.

I'm almost certainly sure that's the case. I really don't believe anyone who discovered Blackbird AFTER the release of their second album would put ODR first on their favourite record list. Many of those may still not like AB III though, which I can't understand anyway.

Well, I come from the ODR days and love Creed. Yet AB III is atop my list and ODR is #4.

AB III does not have my favorite songs, but it's like a NASCAR racer leading the season in points despite never placing the top three in races.

ODR is my second favorite album and I'm not a big fan of Creed.

Blackbird
ABIII
ODR
Fortress
The Last Hero

This was really hard and I might rank them differently if I had to do them again. I can honestly say that I love every album at the time I'm listening - there are no losers. ABIII takes my #2 despite its criticism on these boards. I used to not prefer it as much but it's been one that has grown on me the more and more I listen.

Fortress and ODR are pretty much neck and neck for me with TLH not far behind.

I knew of the band after Creed and still prefer 3 over ODR.

I've kind of lost track of which album is getting the most votes. We should redo this thread with a poll so we can vote, or AB4Lyfe needs to start doing some tallying ;)
Another photobucket casualty... :(

3. AB III
4. One Day Remains

Fortress and Blackbird are practically a close tie for me - it's very hard to decide on either for a top spot. Also, I actually haven't gotten around to the The Last Hero, although I probably should :lol.

I don't understand your question? I'll update my list eventually when I get to the fifth album... :shrug

Considering its an album ranking thread, he ranked the 4 he's listened to and then explained why he didnt rank The Last Hero, I assume in case someone might wonder why he didnt include it.

Why bother writing such post when its clear what he was saying.
