I'll include a very reasonable hint that Jim posted three years ago: PLEASE DO NOT VOTE "THE LAST HERO" SONGS JUST BECAUSE THEY'RE FRESH IN YOUR MEMORY. PLEASE CONSIDER ALL SONGS AND HOW MUCH YOU LOVED THEM WHEN YOU FIRST HEARD THEM. TAKE YOUR TIME VOTING.

Interested in how this one will go. Went with Coming Home, as it is one of the most underrated tunes by them. I was slightly undecided between that and Still Remains, but I think CH offers a bit more variety.

[One Drew Remains]

Metalingus. I like the other songs, but this one isn't as close as most of these.

[Lotha]

This is between Metalingus and Coming Home for me and since I (almost) never pick the winning song I reckon I'd go with Coming Home.

[mikeyd23]

Metalingus

[SHEAKENBAKEN]

Coming Home. One of my favorites on Blackbird.

[Blackbird]

I guess it's Metalingus for me, too. Only ODR song I'll be voting for. PIYV is a close second, but Metalingus is the first AB song I've heard and it's pretty great.

[Felypesh]

Fucking love Coming Home, but Metalingus is superb

[Ubik]

Coming Home!

[Timotheus]

Coming Home for me as well.

[AHart96]

Metalingus, easily. Probably the easiest of these besides track 8

[Andy92]

Metalingus

[AllC392Was]

first to choose Still Remains

You must carry on if you must go your way
Go embrace my heart
Your free will still remains

This song meant a lot to me during a rough time. One of my favorite heavy bridges too

[VigilantSteve]

This one is a difficult choice between Metalingus, Coming Home, and Still Remains as I like them all about equally. Had to go with Coming Home, easily one of their most underrated songs...amazing intro and excellent riffs all throughout the song. One of my favorite bridges too.

[austinjhnsn]

Coming Home is the only one I've listened to at all recently.

[WaywardOne]

Close one between Coming Home and Metallingus!

[Arctic]

Poison in your veins. I like Metalibgus but never liked it as much as others. Poison is actually a great song imo.

[MuffinMcFluffin]

Relatively speaking...

Coming Home sucks.
Still Remains sucks.
Poison In Your Veins sucks.

It was between Metalingus and The Uninvited for me, and it came down to which song I could do without the rest of my life in the AB catalog if I never heard it again, on disc or in concert. Ultimately, because I've only heard Metalingus in concert, it won.

Though I must admit, they don't represent the sound of the album version well in concert, especially early on during their Live in Amsterdam days. From that alone I probably would have chosen The Uninvited by default.

[SchwiizVT12]

Coming Home all the way, it's in my AB top 5.

[fix]

Still Remains is my jaammmm!
