Title: Your favorite of these Neal Morse-related songs (2000's)

This was really tough, but I went with:

In the Fire
We All Need Some Light
Rose Covered Glasses
Wind at My Back
Somber Days
Solitary Soul
The Wind + the Rain

Post by: Mladen on February 01, 2019, 03:52:17 AM: Thoughts II (Spock's Beard)
Cradle to the Grave (Neal Morse)
In the Fire (Neal Morse)
Open Wide the Flood Gates (Spock's Beard)
Entrance (Neal Morse)
Author of Confusion (Neal Morse)
Wasted Life (Neal Morse)

I have a feeling you consciously left off some songs that are known to be fan favorites, right? It's more interesting this way, where there are no tracks everyone would vote for.

I basically left off the epics (same for the other poll). Let's face it, if I included those, the epics from the first two TA albums and the two from Spock's V would likely dominate the voting. This way is more fun and less predictable.

It was really tough for me as well, but probably not for the reasons you intended. :lol

Don't take it personally, but my reasoning is basically:
-I refuse to vote for separate parts of a song, so that eliminated The Whirlwind
-I won't vote for anything off of ? because that album is so laughably bad
-I'm not familiar with much Spock's
-Of the small number of songs left, most on the list are far from Neal's best

Somber Days
The Wind Blew Them All Away
In The Fire
Children Of The Chosen (one of his most underrated songs imo)
We All Need Some Light
The Change

There’s 3 songs here that begin with “Wind”. Neal needs to input his titles into a database and check it before naming new songs because he repeats words in titles so much.
