Hmm...Show Me A Sign is pretty cool musically, but for some reason I never really dug the song as a whole. One By One is just kinda average for me as well.

Watch Your Words was the Alter Bridge song I heard that hooked me to listen to the band more. Had to go with it.

One by One.
Watch Your Words is actually one of my 3 least favorites.
Show Me A Sign is good, but not my fave

Show Me a Sign does it for me here. I feel like its a song most people can relate to at some point in their lives. Musically, in my opinion, this track is phenomenal because of how dark it is, not only lyrically, but instrumentally as well. I like darker rock, so this track gets my vote.

SMAS's bridge made me fell off the chair during the first listen, but OBO sounds better in overall.

Watch Your Words is one of their best songs and it's severely underrated for some reason, it doesn't make sense to me, it's a badass song.

Also, when I voted each song had 4 votes each, I think this may be a close one!

Easy choice. Watch Your Words, great song, great lyrics.

OBO is patriotic drivel and SMAS has a really droney chorus, although I love the solo at the end.

I voted for Show Me A Sign. I've never cared much for Watch Your Words even though the bridge is badass, and One By One is sort of bland for me.

SMAS. The vibe in that song is out of this world.

It's all right,
And you must move on.
Though the damage,
Has been done.
Cherish the life,
And the ones you hold.
Can you change?
Can you go on?

well one by one is by far the best live song out of these 3. the introduction is probably among my top 3 favorites that alter bridge has ever made. its an awesome topic... being a tribute to our troops. the bridge is incredible. i love the lyrics. they are very simple, yet pack so much meaning. its the best military tribute song ive ever heard in my life. i love watch your words, but this one is a no brainer. in my opinion, it is AB's most underrated song. nobody gives it the credit it deserves. when they played it at spokane the crowd went nuts. i love this song, and i feel it should win hands down... but oh well

I'm really into Show Me A Sign (love the moody vibe, this song needs to be played live a lot more) and One By One (very underrated song, imo, also great live). I decided to go with Watch Your Words 'cause I've been stuck on 'One Day Remains' album for the last couple of days. And damn, this song needs to be played live, it's soo badass!

I refuse to vote because I don't really like any of these songs.

Ffffffffuuuuuuuuuucccccccccckkkk this is a tough one. They're all great, but in completely different ways.

I went with OBO since I remember tearing up when I saw the video of the guys playing the song impromptu in honor of some military folks in the audience. If a song moves me, that always trumps any other merit.
