You can for up to 7.

I went with:

Arriving Somewhere But Not Here
The Raven That Refused to Sing
Routine
Lightbulb Sun
What Happens Now?
Dark Matter
The Start of Something Beautiful

If I voted tomorrow, 2-3 of those could change.

I chose:

Trains
Dark Matter
Buying New Soul
Refuge
Ancestral
Sleep Together
Time Flies

This was pretty easy actually. There's very few songs of his actually dislike, but his standout tracks are miles ahead of a lot of the rest of his stuff. I'd consider Trains, Buying New Soul, and Dark Matter to be 3 out of 5 of his best PT songs (along with Heartattack In A Layby and Stars Die).

Shesmovedon would have made my list if it had been the later version.

How can you find Hatesong better than f.e. Routine, Ancestral? :D

I agree, but only on the Arriving Somewhere version. And that's only because of Gavin's incredible performance.

Yuck.  As great as Harrison is, he doesn't give the song the groove that Maitland did in the original. Every live version I heard with Harrison was a total let down.  Too much overplaying and too many new, unnecessary drum fills.

Not surprised to see Trains, Anesthetize, Arriving Somewhere But Not Here and The Raven getting the most votes, but pleasantly surprised to see Routine doing so well.  One of his best songs ever, without a doubt. :tup :tup
