I feel like the first 7 are permanent, but the last 3 always change because I love most AB songs equally.

1. Fortress - their new high watermark
2. Cry of Achilles - note perfect
3. Blackbird - it's Blackbird
4. Lover - Myles digging deep
5. Slip to the Void - proto-Fortress
6. Calm the Fire - still can't believe it's an Alter Bridge song
7. Ties that Bind - the song that marked the departure from ODR, still amazing
8. Coeur d'Alene - safe at last
9. Broken Wings - the song that got me hooked to the band, and dreamy Myles
10. Bleed it Dry - hellish riff, heavenly breakdown

That was tough. Also props to Drew for making a top 10 thread and proceeding to give us a top 20! Well played.
For all of the hope that it brings...
