Alter Bridge Greatest Hits List

[Josiah]

Got the idea from Jimmeh's thing, but it's different.

Instead of putting songs up against one another one at a time, rank your top 12 AB songs from favorite to least favorite. After a while I'll count the songs with the most rankings, and then post the top 12 AB hits as voted by the fans. From greatest, to least.

Mine:

1. Blackbird
2. Open Your Eyes
3. Brand New Start
4. Find The Real
5. Shed My Skin
6. Down To My Last
7. In Loving Memory
8. Burn It Down
9. Broken Wings
10. Slip To The Void
11. Ghost Of Days Gone By
12. Metalingus

[Timotheus]

Polls are way more effective. There are a lot of lurkers on this board that will vote in a poll, but won't post because it takes too much time.

+ You're not really making a 'Greatest Hit Album' if you do it like this. You're making a 'Best Of'

[NytestrykerZ]

Waiting for that person who posts the entire One Day Remains tracklisting + Blackbird (song).

I made this list in 2 minutes. I haven't listened to AB in a while, and I'm probably forgetting some important songs. But I'm longing the most to these songs right now, and damn, it would be an amazing listen.

[RuRo]

1. Blackbird
2. Ties That Bind
3. Slip To The Void
4. The End Is Here
5. White Knuckles
6. Words Darker Than Their Wings
7. One Day Remains
8. Broken Wings
9. Show Me A Sign
10. Fallout
11. Wayward One
12. Metalingus

Everything outside the top 5 is pretty variable - there's possibly around 20 Alter Bridge songs I feel are at a very high level and plenty more outside of that that I love but wouldn't consistently rate as one of my favourites.

If you really wanted an in-depth gauge of this forum's (not "the fan's" incidentally, since I don't want to try to generalise the opinions of the people on this forum to every Alter Bridge fan) you could run a Survivor - I was thinking of suggesting or starting one a while ago but I wasn't sure if this forum would really want / be able to do one, but given the current aim to try to get a better "best of" list maybe it'd be something to consider.

Make a more creative one. I'm sure you can. Make a cool tournament with epic deathmatches and stuff like that

You're not really making a 'Greatest Hit Album' if you do it like this. You're making a 'Best Of'

AB only has 3 albums right now, both a greatest hits and best of albums would be silly at this point, anyway.

[Timotheus]

What's your point? I'm just talking about this thread. It's not a 'greatest hits'-thread.. It's a 'best of'-thread..

[ThravRande]

true. This gives me an idea for another thread...
