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

10) Chameleon
9) It Is Finished
Eight) Grave Robber
7) Judas' Kiss
6) Fool's Gold
5) This Means War!
4) Jekyll & Hyde
3) Beyond Belief
2) Creed
1) Praying Man

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

No Particular Order:

Grave Robber
Stand Up
Judas' Kiss
He Came, He Saw, He Conquered
You Are My Rock
Beyond Belief
All Fired Up
No Doubt
I Am On The Rock
Get On Your Knees

Not so much a general top 10, but my 10 favourites. One of these lists is not like the others...

10. Counsel of the Holy

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...

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

What song is Living Water? Is that supposed to be The Water Is Alive?

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.
