Great poll - nice to see some RIO in the polls!
Between Amygdala and Ruins for me - I think Ruins just pips it!

It's a small herd, yes. A large herd would start at something like 6 songs, I'd guess.

When the poll is done maybe you can show it in graphic form. You know, maybe with a cow pie chart.
