I'm gonna respond to that without quoting him so it takes him longer to find it.

The Last Hero - Cry of Achilles's twin, so many good things about this song from the intermittent verse riff to Myles' tragic voice in the breakdown.
This Side of Fate - Lover meets Words Darker meets Calm the Fire, with an absurdly brilliant solo from Myles. A bridge to insanity.
Cradle to the Grave - Blackbird rightly gets due credit as a beautiful ode to the memory of Myles's friend, but a more common preoccupation of his writing is dealing with the knowledge that those still with him will eventually will be taken away, and this is his best effort at tackling it yet.
The Other Side - Dark and ambiguous but catchy, a less desolate version of Show Me A Sign (which is also awesome but you need to be in the mood).
I was going to list my 5, but it would use the exact same words. :cheers

What is up with all the Writing on the Wall hate? :headscratch Well... opinions! :)

I picked two. Is that okay Hartie? :lol

Island and Cradle.

The purpose of the poll is kinda defeated though if everyone can choose 5 songs - a lot of songs will have a similar/identical number of votes.

Well I think 4 songs stand out above the rest for me, so I picked these ones:

You Will Be Remembered
Poison In Your Veins
Breathe
Island Of Fools

However, picking 5 songs was a bad idea for the poll. There needs to be a single vote poll for favorite song.

Being able to vote for 5 songs, this is a pretty easy decision.

The Other Side
Cradle To The Grave
This Side Of Fate
Island Of Fools
The Last Hero

Those are also the 5 songs currently leading in this poll so I don't think they are too novel picks :lol

Asked to pick a single favourite or a top 3 the decision would be much tougher.

Everyone would've listed their top 5 anyways...or in some cases....7 :facepalm I could make things harder and change it to just one. If that's what you all desire

Plot Twist: AHart caves in to peer pressure, changes the rules as he goes.

You can now choose ONLY ONE song. Not two. Or four. Or five...Or seven.

Thinking about disabling the "change your vote" option because I'm a sick guy :crazy

Let the chaos begin. Have fun!

...But people who voted for multiple songs votes are still counted (unless they come back and change them, in which case they can only select 1). So you can't really tell what the results mean unless everyone goes back and changes their votes, which will only allow one.

I wasn't complaining about the choice of 5, just commenting that it's an easy decision for me as there are a clear top 5 that stand out initially. I think the option of 5 was fine as a way to judge the overall popularity of songs. A poll for single favourite song would be a good idea too but it should probably just be a new thread rather than changing the rules of this poll after 180 votes were counted with multiple options.

What you should do is leave this one at 5, and make a new poll to decide what everyone thinks is the best song.

And I would probably leave Breathe off of the new poll... since it really isn't part of TLH anyways. But that's up to you.

I think it was a good choice to have it at five, the results give a pretty accurate ranking of the tracks from the members now I reckon.
For all of the hope that it brings...

I made the poll for people to vote for just their favourite song in this thread.

I think giving a few options like in this poll will give a better impression of which songs are the most liked, but it'll be interesting to see which songs most people pick as the best if forced to only choose one as well.
