Poor representation of all their stuff. I strongly resent the lack of any Scarsick selections. I would have definitely picked Disco Queen. That song succeeds on so many levels, and even better, it pisses off tons of people. From the list, probably People Passing By. -------------

| Without a doubt, "The Perfect Element." |

Well it pisses me off because it's painfully awful.

Beyond the Pale is my favourite song in general, its just got a little something that puts it ahead of The Perfect Element or Inside Out ------------- 'Yeah, thats.. Whatever you're talking about for ya' - Zapp brannigan |

| Nice selection. I'll go with A Trace Of Blood followed by Used. |

You mean you wouldn't pay good money to see it live? For shame.  People Passing By for me. And it saddens me that Scarsick and Road Salt One don't have any tracks included on here. -------------

Anyways:
My pick was Beyond the Pale. Even as a standalone, it is my favourite. When you listen to all of Remedy Lane then end with that, it is indescribable. |

I'm surprised by the votes for used, I dont like it much at all. My list would be something like this: 1. A Trace of Blood 2. Beyond the Pale 3. The Perfect Element 4. Leaving Entropia 5. Undertow Pain of Salvation sure knows how to end an album, 3 of my 5 are the last song

Out of these, I'd probably say A Trace of Blood as well. I will not let Used win this.

interesting poll, for me it is close between between the pale and the perfect elephant, i went with the latter today ------------- 'when was the last time you had a girlfriend?' 'I dont look at it as when, I look at it as who...and why' - David Brent |

I don't like the zero representation of Scarsick, Linoleum, and Road Salt One, but my favorite wouldn't have been from any of these albums anyway. For me this is an impossible choice, considering all of their albums (even Scarsick) are great. Right now, it's King of Loss followed closely by The Perfect Element, Water, and Her Voices.

Idioglossia for me, an 8 minute goosbumps moment.
Its a shame Gone and Innocence werent added to the list, not that I'd have voted for them, but it would have been nice to see. ------------- Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005

I was both surprised and tickled pink to see "Pluvius Aestivus Of Summer Rain (Homines Fabula Initium)" as an option. It easily picked up my vote. While certainly not the most representative song of theirs, it is nonetheless, the most beautiful in my opinion.

can´t understand the fascination with beyond the pale really. from remedy lane: of two begginings, trace of blood, this heart..., are much better songs in my opinion. ------------- "when routine bites hard and ambitions are low, and resentment rides high but emotions won´t grow And we´re changing our ways, taking different roads.. Then love, love will tear us apart again.." |

| Call me the silly pop whore, but I vote Ashes. Its easily their darkest, most concise song. No frills - just frowns. :P |

I voted Fandango because I enjoy going to the movies and it's a crazy song... It was hard not to go with trace of Blood. I would've liked to have seen Pilgrim or Scarsick on there, but it's not the end of the world. |

3 observations: 1.That's why POS is my fav band..they have so many awsome songs you can never know which one is their best 2.Where's Scarsick and RS 3.Nowadays i can't stop listening to Sisters and Tell me you don't know.. Nightmist for me..
