I'm going with Amongst the Waves......this song would be a massive hit but is also an EPIC rock tune!

Got Some would also introduce alot of new listeners to the Band.

Unthought Known would also have commercial appeal on not just an Alternative Format but also a Top 40 Format

Your Opinions? (and remember that is all they are)

    No Unthought Known.

    I think Got Some would be the best choice because it's a short in-your-face rocker. Amongst the Waves is a good tune and it builds well...but I wouldn't call it "epic" by any means.

    Force of Nature, Amongst the Waves, Johnny Guitar, or Unthought Known.
    One man stands alone awaiting
    for her to come home
    eyes upon the horizon
    in the dark before the
    darkness leaves the dawn

    Unthought Known is by far the LEAST commercial of all these songs along with Speed of Sound

    Got Some, Supersonic, and Amongst The Waves would be decent picks.

    Amoungst The Waves, then Johnny Guitar, then Force of Nature. They're all pretty damn poppy (I knew they could do it)

    we disagree on a few matters but I'm not anti-anything.....except for Tom Brady. I fucking hate that guy.

    Supersonic or Got Some - great short fun rockers that would be great for radio. You have to think - what would appeal to non-pj fanatics on their first listen. the point of picking singles should be to increase listener base, not appease the die hards. we'll all already be listening anyway.

    i second this notion!
