Re: Your Ultimate Top 10

Post by Blackbird »

Putting together a top 10 for a band that has so many amazing songs like Alter Bridge is an impossible task, especially if it needs to be ordered. I'm gonna try it, but I'll use ranges instead of distinct placings most of the time. And there are probably about 10 songs that would've easily fit in there because they're essentially just as good as those that made it in the list.

1. Blackbird
Definite first place. Best piece of music in history.

2-4. Lover
Show Me A Sign
Words Darker Than Their Wings

Ordered by first letter because I really can't figure out which of these songs I like the most. Lover and SMAS have an incredible atmosphere, Words is pure epicness.

5. Cry Of Achilles
The reason this is not in the top 4 is probably that emotional songs always manage to touch me a bit more than heavy hitters like COA, but it's very close.

6-10. All Hope Is Gone
Bleed It Dry
Ghost Of Days Gone By
New Way To Live
Waters Rising

Painful to exclude so many great songs. But I guess those are the ones I'd prefer most of the time, although that REALLY depends on my mood and stuff like that.

Follow-ups (in no particular order): Addicted To Pain, Come To Life, White Knuckles, Isolation, Wonderful Life, Watch Over You, Show Me A Leader, Metalingus, I Know It Hurts, Calm The Fire, Fortress, Never Born To Follow, ...

This is really hard to do. I gave it a shot, I can't really put them in order though - Except for the first one, because Shed My Skin is definitely my all time favorite.

1 Shed My Skin
2 Down To My Last
3 Watch Your Words
4 Buried Alive
5 Before Tomorrow Comes
6 The Damage Done
7 I Know It Hurts
8 Breathe Again
9 Farther Than The Sun
10 All Ends Well

Do you mean like 10 different versions of enough song combinations to create albums?

It wasn't as hard as i thought it would be :
1. Shed My Skin : that voice
2. Down to My Last : that solo
3. One Day Remains : that riff
4. Metalingus : so heavy
5. Words Darker Than Their Wings : such a great combination of both voices
6. Come to Life : should have been an opener
7. The End Is Here : so epic
8. Farther than the Sun : bombastic riff
9. Ties That Bind : killer riff
10. New Way to Live : best B-side ever

I like that it's painful to choose for some people. That's the point!
