I even had a really dodgy early leak of it where the song faded out every now and then (including right at the start of the solo) for this ding dong sound to ring out. If it wasn;t for that song, I may not be here now. Both songs are epic and have amazingly good solos and vocals. But Brand New Start has just edged it. For me it is not just the best 3rd song, but one of their best songs ever.
But credit where credit it is due, this was a really tough choice and all 5 songs were close. Bleed It Dry is brutiful, love the bluesy middle section, and yet another insanely good solo. Ghosts is so catchy and always gets me smiling and bopping. Then finally the latest edition The Other Side, so dark and groovy. Love em all and, as other have said, would be happy with any the 5 winning.
I remember those fade out, dings lol. Everyone was so angry hahaha.

I really struggled between Brand New Start and Ghost Of Days Gone By. The guitar solo of Brand New Start made it for me. Even though I really love the whole mood of Ghost.

I just cannot get into BNS that much and I am again so "surprised" that it will win this poll again, as it did in 2013. BNS is by far the worst of these 5 tracks for me (even though it's not bad or sth.), I like Bleed it Dry and The Other Side so much more - but that is the great thing about taste, it's not debatable and I love it :peace

The Other Side for me, Bleed it dry is a very close second. :rockon

All great songs and some of my all time favs. BNS still hands down for me though. The song was my 2nd fave (to blackbird) up until CoA was released. But that chorus and solo still always gives me the feels.

Bleed it Dry by a fair distance.
For all of the hope that it brings...

Ahaha, kinda glad it wasn't just me lol. Me and my partner at the time used to scream at every beep, yet we could not stop listening to it. Was so happy when the real version dropped and I could hear Myles awesome vocal into the solo :D

All of these songs are fantastic. There is no loser here.

However, I must go with the first song I've ever heard from AB and the one that brought me to them in the first place. OYE it is.

BNS for sure. The first AB song I saw them perform live, and I remember the feeling that swept over me when we heard that live bootleg recording from Foxwoods or wherever back in '07.

It's really a two horse race in the next round. Most of the votes will go to either Burn it Down or Lover

Hmmm, #4 is gonna be another tough call for me between Lover and Burn It Down. Though I think I already know which one will edge it (Hint; it rhymes with burning clown)

Buried Alive is one of my favorite Alter Bridge songs ever. It's a shame it's so underrated.

I've always really liked Buried Alive as a whole, but what's always brought it down a notch for me is Mark's lead line that he plays with wah during the intro and various points during the song. I don't know why exactly, but I just find that part annoying for some reason.

Awesome, awesome bridge though.
