Track 09 Winner: Show Me A Sign

PLEASE DO NOT VOTE "WALK THE SKY" 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.

Watch Over You or Shed My Skin. Going with Watch Over You.

I'm going with Forever Falling. It's pretty much up there as the top two of my favorites from Walk the Sky. On another note, I do feel like Fallout is an unsung track. The section after the second chorus and before the last chorus may have been one of the most well-crafted sections they have ever done.

Shed My Skin

Forever Falling is better than anything on Blackbird and Fortress.

Just like Walk The Sky is better than Blackbird and Fortress combined.

CHANGE MY MIND

Watch Over You, the battle of the best 9 track is the only one I've 'lost'

Show Me A Sign is bad.

Forever Falling over Watch Over You for me here.

Gotta go with Watch Over You here. It’s in my top ten AB songs for a reason. Forever Falling is amazing but I can’t put it above WOY.

Fallout is also an underrated song.

Fallout had always been a fave for me. Tough choice though. As these last few will be.

Close call, but I voted for Fallout over Watch Over You because I believe that the biggest reason why I love WOY is the live version (acoustic!), and I probably like Fallout more as a song overall.

Forever Falling doesn't yet click for me as much as it seems to do for many others, I find the chorus extremely fucking bad (except the "I carry this light away" part where Myles' voice becomes dominant).

Shed My Skin, Crows and Cry A River all do nothing for me. Among the bottom 15 AB songs.

Had to decide between Fallout and Forever Falling. I chose Forever Falling in the end.

Watch Over You

Forever Falling for me.

Shed My Skin, with Watch Over You close behind then Forever Falling and Crows

I honestly don't know what to do here. They're all so different, from sweet ballads to borderline metal, it's so difficult to compare them. I love each of these songs and my choice of which one I'd play would depend on my mood at any given moment.

"Shed My Skin" is such a nostalgic song for me, and Myles's pristine voice shines over Mark's clean guitars – a great example of how beautiful his voice sounds with all of the layering.

"Watch Over You" is fairly straightforward as far as AB are concerned, but a beautiful ballad that rarely fails to make me tear up when performed live, especially when the crowd sings along during the last chorus.

"Fallout" is an overlooked gem on AB III (admittedly by me as well) with a gorgeous chorus melody and a lovely solo.

"Cry A River" is a banger, with one of my favorite riffs on Fortress in the bridge and outro.

"Crows On A Wire" is another killer tune with an infectious melody and legendary bridge, highlighted by the monstrous riff that runs up the neck between lines in the chorus, not to mention Mark's badass backing vocals during the final chorus

"Forever Falling" is a neat track with its gritty metallic intro, subdued verses, catchy choruses, and beautiful interlude.

I really don't know what I'm going to pick yet.

Decision made: I just voted Crows for the reasons noted above. This one almost feels arbitrary because they're all so good. Anyway, I cracked up to see I'm the only one who voted for it, so it doesn't matter anyway.

Forever Falling gets my vote. It has really grown on me. Brian's bass slides and Flip's drumming elevate it into special status. It's the first song on the album that generated a memorable solo and sing along chorus. Those two elements are critical for me as I rank my all time favorite AB songs.

Winner: Forever Falling

... which is the first Walk The Sky track that has won its battle!
