    This is brutal.  I love RVM!

    I think GTF waltzing through the last group of songs gave me a type of resentment for the song.

    I'm going to abstain from this one.  Too tough to decide!

    Using that logic is pretty much the only way I could make a decision

    GTF just doesn't stand among these powerhouse songs.
    For me, it comes down to both lyrics and overall melody.
    Neither are as original in GTF when compared to the others.
    It has a great message, and I wouldn't call it corny ever, but it is closer to corny than the others by a long shot, and those other three songs are more distinct, and unique overall.

    Black and RVM have incredibly cohesive lyrics that tell a clear narrative using closely related symbols and motifs.  Masterpiece poetry, really.  I'll never forget when I first heard the lines "I gather speed from you fuckin with me" and "Tattooed all I see, all I am, all I'll ever be"...shivers.
    Alive is anthemic and defines the sound of the era as well as any song from it's day.

    Very sorry to see "Given to Fly" going down.  But the same could be said if it were one of the others.

    Rather see Black go first but when do the polls ever agree with me?
    (I like the song, but it has a sour taste in my mouth for personal reasons.)

    Hard one. Alive or Rvm I think. Or maybe GTF. Or Black.

    What a tough round and from here on out it's only going to get harder to pick one.

    GTF is probably their most overrated song in their catalog. 

    I'll add that this is IMO.

    I can see that.  It gets love because of the energy it brings live.
