Oh a lot of good songs on this poll. I chose Burn it Down. I wish AB incorporated more of this tone and feel to their music

Burn It Down and Lover have always been favorites of mine. But man, I love My Champion. It almost seems like sacrilege, but I have a feeling I'll love MC just as much years from now.

This was as easy for me as any. Burn It Down is my absolute favorite song. Not just by AB, mind you. None of their songs go from so low to so high. Ending with the solo, my favorite AB solo, is something I think they should do more often. As a matter of fact, I can't think of another AB song that ends with one.....This Side of Fate?...Show Me a Sign, sort of,...Home? None of them reach that level IMO.

nothing can be over Burn it Down but Buried Alive comes close.

It's clear that The Last Hero is their worst album. Clear as a bell.

Voted for Buried Alive. Such a solid hard rock song. Good riffs, good solos, good vocals, good rhythm section, etc.

I love AHIG, the only problem here is that Lover probably is my favourite Alter Bridge song that's not categorised as "epic and monumental" like Blackbird... but AHIG definitely gets too little love, it's so much better than Buried Alive and My Champion at least...

Nah, ABIII still holds that title for me. Opinions vary.

Yeah, I don't see anything "clear" that makes The Last Hero their worst album. It's especially impossible to determine that from these battle of the track numbers polls when you're going to have amazing songs like "This Side of Fate" (personally among my 5 favorite AB songs) which are going to lose simply because it's up against arguably the best AB song, Blackbird.

I personally like The Last Hero more than the ODR album, but if we'd look just at my votes based on these polls you'd think the other way around, but that's just because of track placement and which songs are up against which songs. This is fun, but I personally don't think it's an overall good judgment on which album is better or worse than another.

Agreed, there's nothing "clear" about it. I've tried to have this conversation on this board a lot it seems, :lol

"I can't believe" people voted for "Buried Alive", different strokes for different folks. Nothing wrong with it, people like what they like. No need to criticize them for it

I did :D Not ashamed to admit it either. What I have a problem with is people trying to shame others for what they like. I've seen that a lot on the boards lately and I'm not a fan

Really? I thought you didn't care for TLH that much. Maybe that was someone else's review that I remembered as yours :D :headscratch

Might be, but it still doesn't compare to at least two of the songs in this poll, for me at least. Different people different strokes
