That would be pretty funny. Though it wouldn't be a bad list. There's not a bad song on the album

oi! you forgot Creed.
Nope. It just doesn't make my top ten. If we were looking at a bunch of criteria and trying to build an objective top ten, Creed might be on there. Or not. That would be a tall order.

I'm pretty sure Dan was being a bit sarcastic since, until you posted, everybody had included "Creed" in their lists and just before your post executioner commented on that occurrence :D

At some point, we need to arrive at a consensus and stick to it. Sanity demands it.

Ok, so I was bored...
I decided to take everyone's top 10 list and put them into a spreadsheet to determine the overall ranking. If the songs were in "no particular order" every song on that list was given a score of 5. Otherwise I used the score given. Every song that was mentioned once (with the exception of Brent's songs, sorry Brent) was included in the calculation. A score of 11 was given for songs that were not on a given user's list. For example, "Good News" was only on one list. "Good News" received a 5 score on gman's list, but an 11 on everyone else's list. In the interest of full disclosure, I was listening to On Fire! while working on this. Also, I take no credit for typos!
Here are my results...
Song Ranking
Creed 1 (Tie)
Judas Kiss 1
Adonai 3
Beyond Belief 4
Grave Robber 5
This Means War! 6
I am on the Rock 7
No Doubt 8
Hit You Where You Live 9
God Gave Rock and Roll to You (original) 10
You are My Rock 11
Get On Your Knees 12
Life as we Know it 13 (Tie)
More Power To Ya 13
Bema Seat 15 (Tie)
Mine Field 15
Praying Man 15
Sight Unseen 15
All Fired Up 19 (Tie)
It Is Finished 19
Road to Zion 19
Dance 22 (Tie)
Underneath the blood 22
He Came, He Saw, He Conquered 24
Rose Colored Stained Glass Windows 25
Fool's Gold 26 (Tie)
Speak to the Sky 26
Too Big to Fail 26
Disciple 29 (Tie)
Not of this World 29
All Over Me 31 (Tie)
Enter In 31

No problem. Technically, I did not list songs anyway.

I was going to list my favorites, but... I couldn't single them out. Top ten favorite albums, maybe, but songs? There were over 200... I love pretty much all of Beat the System, On Fire, This Means War, Beyond Belief, and Back to the Street. That's about 50 favorites there :)

I'm not sure. It was on Dan's list. I just assumed it was something I wasn't really familiar with.
