IMPORTANT (update)

This is another poll in the new Rumborak style. Please look at the results of the poll, and vote for the chorus that is the most underrepresented.

If you like one of the the several repetitions of a chorus more than another, always take the one you like the most.

E.g. in Bridges in the Sky, the chorus is three times there. Once it's shorter (without and at last the time has come...),
once take my haaaand goes up, and once it goes down. I like the second one the most, so I'll compare this one against choruses from the other songs.

Bridges in the Sky is also my vote.

Eight choruses, which song doesn't have a chorus?

Sixtease

Or does Far from Heaven have one?

Bridges in the Sky

Could have gone with BMU, BMD as well, but still, BITS is too amazing.

Obviously BITS was going to win this by a landslide, and that's cool by me, because it possibly is the best on the album. I may even consider it my favourite too, but I'll go with something different so the poll isn't just a middle finger to the rest of the album. :p

I vote LNF. I consider it about as good as BITS. TITL is close, but that's mostly from the final chorus, which is amazing, and not so much for the earlier choruses which aren't as epic.

Maybe I should have done the new rumborak-style poll

update I changed the poll question, so now please do what Blob did. Look at the poll results and vote for the chorus that needs it most.

Even though BITS is probably gonna be my favorite DT chorus ever, OTBOA is sorely underrepresented. So i voted for it due to the rumby-style voting (rumby, be proud that you have a style of voting named after you).
\o\ lol /o/

Oh God, this is hard. I've narrowed it down to LNF, BITS, BAI and BTS.

Lyrically, BITS is my favourite, the writing is so much nicer than it has been on other albums, it's a real throw back to the older DT.

As a whole, I love the singing in BAI the most, that and BTS stick in my head the most and I'm not sure why. Plus, the fact that it's Myung lyrics gives it plus points to me, because I missed his lyrics.

BTS, as I said, is one of the choruses that just sticks in my head. Like really, sticks. Plus, it really speaks to me at the moment what with recent teenage shit that's gone down. So I guess subject wise, BTS is my favourite.

Then LNF...I just like LNF. No idea why, it all just comes together really well.

But I've gone with BTS, seeing as we're all voting ala rumborak.

Mladen

It's sad that Beneath the surface is the only song with not a single vote. I thought that was a magnificent chorus as well...

fibreoptix

BTS criminally underrepresented. Got my vote.

Jaffa

Voted for Bridges in the Sky, but that was before I saw that we're supposed to vote for the most underrepresented song, not our actual favorite. 

I WOULD have voted for Beneath the Surface.

You can remove your vote and vote again.

How do you remove your vote? I don't see any option for it.

MetalJens

Both  BITS and BAI are legend - dary, hard to pick one  :-\

I voted up LNF as I feel it is one of the best on the album and is very underrated in this poll.

Zydar

Bridges In The Sky got my vote, but Lost Not Forgotten has a great chorus too.

Outcry's chorus definitely deserves another vote.

DeanTheater

BITS.  Hands down.  DT's best chorus since Finally free or Home

Or does Far from Heaven have one?

Every day I
Put a brave face on
Serves me well
Feeling helpless
Facing it alone

Hard to tell
That IIII
Can't chaange who I amm

I thought a chorus is only then a chorus when it appears more than once.

From Wikipedia: A refrain (from Vulgar Latin refringere, "to repeat", and later from Old French refraindre) is the line or lines that are repeated in music or in verse; the "chorus" of a song.

While a chorus generally is indicated by being repeated, I can think of a few songs where I would definitely call a section a chorus even though it only appears once.
Not sure I agree that this is a chorus in FFH though. Not sure if I'd disagree though.
