Too late fools! Here's my top 20:
20. The Arsonist - Not much can be said about this song. Plenty can be shouted: THERE'S TRUTH BENEATH THE FLOORBOARDS!
19. Open Water - Water is a great album. Open Water is the first of 4 Water pieces in my top 20. I love the graceful feel and bubbly background sounds.
18. Under a Killing Moon - The first Thrice song I ever heard (from a Warped Tour mix CD). I still love it to this day. It's short, but it kicks ass.
17. Child of Dust - A great accapela song. I belt this one out whenever I can. A terrific ending to The Alchemy Index, and a song that I would love to see live.
16. Backdraft - My favourite off of Fire. It's not as unusual as The Flame Deluge, and as simply kickass as Firebreather or The Arsonist, but it's another very solid piece, built into a somewhat unorthodox quater of The Alchemy Index.
15. Broken Lungs - Air opens with a great piece. Gwii said it all. It doesn't overdue it, but it captivating enough to warrant many, many listens.
14. Moving Mountains - One of Thrice's great acoustic ballads. I love the groove in this one. An instant favourite of mine, it remains my favourite on Earth.
13. Digital Sea - Another great Water piece. Digital Sea is a classic among Thrice fans. Most love it, and for good reason. It's great to sing along to, and the distortion at the end is still among my favourite Thrice tricks.
12. Stare at the Sun - One of the centerpieces of Thrice's success, Stare at the Sun is as important as it is awesome. Watching it on Live at the House of Blues makes it even better.
11. The Artist in the Ambulance - Another important Thrice song. The Artist another early Thrice song that I heard, and I found it instantly captivating.
10. Atlantic - An unusual piece that I only started to appreciate recently. One of Kensrue's early great vocal songs. The chorus is chilling in a way that is only reached in a few songs.
9. Doublespeak - The most noticeably different piece off of Beggars, Doublespeak just simply rocks. It has all the workings of a great song: cool chorus, unusual catch, and a great groove.
8. Image of the Invisible - I don't think I've ever listened to this song without air-drumming to the bridge. So much about this song rules.
7. Music Box - Another recent favourite of mine. Music Box is so strange, but I enjoy it so much. It's got a great chorus, plus the classical japanese vibe makes it wicked neat.
6. Daedalus - Thrice's epic. It deserves to be on everyone's top 20 list. Great story, and it holds Air and the rest of The Index together so firmly.
5. Lost Continent - Thrice are band all about ocean stories. Atlantic, Open Water, and Digital Sea are among the greats. And the list is not through with them yet. Lost Continent is another great Water piece. It tells an age-old story, and Kensrue delivers it convincingly.
4. Wood and Wire - This song is really sad. Kensrue's lyrics and vocal performance really sell it for me. The drab setting, the last piece of hope the man clings to. It's haunting. Beggars delivers the sadness for me.
3. In Exile - Gwii said it. Kensrue gets struck by some divine power while recording Beggars and every performance he gives is outstanding. The ending is pure genius. It's chilling just how well he conveys the "exiled" feel of the song, finshing it with a lonely vocal melody.
2. The Whaler - Another ocean song! My long-time favourite Thrice song, only dethroned recently after the release of Beggars. The emotion and beauty put forth by Dustin and the rest of the guys is amazing. I hope to one day cover this song, as well. It's one of the great songs to sing along to.
1. The Great Exchange - Yeah, my top song is an ocean song. As soon as I read the lyrics I was in love. Not only is it my favourite Thrice song, I consider my favourite song of all time at the moment. The story tells the most heartfelt tale of human decency. The great exchange of one life for another; an enemy's life at that. I tear up when I hear it, and to me, it is the pillar of greatness that Beggars is built around.
