    This is the hardest one, because I can't vote against The Stone, but Ants is Ants.

    Wow this is really hard, R2T popping back up with that awesome version of Minarets featuring Greg Howard on Chapman Stick, The Stone is one of their best studio tracks with insanely brilliant performance by Carter, DIDO so tight on Crash, Ants defies superlatives and we've got the beautiful, haunting hymnal version of Grace is Gone that reminds of the original version of Knockin' on Heaven's Door from Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

    TOUGH ONE! Can't even vote yet, will have to think about this one some more and maybe listen to those 5 tracks tonight.

    Not hard for me.


    The Stone is studio DMB at its best.

    Yeah as important and iconic as Ants is, I can't vote against The Stone. Not only my favorite DMB track, but one of my favorite studio recordings from any band ever.

    BTCS could and possibly should win out the next 5 tracks and then #34 to close out the album. Tough choice next track between Crush and Captain from Lillywhite but other than potentially going with Captain on that one I'm all BTCS.

    Ants is the DMB song. It should win this poll easily.

    Ants is iconic, quintessential DMB.

    But The Stone is PERFECTION.

    Tough call, but got to give it to The Stone.

    This poll isn't asking for the most iconic DMB song; it's asking for the best studio track. And as far as studio tracks go, The Stone is pretty hard to beat. As great as Ants is, the studio version isn't all that special, especially when compared to The Stone.

    Went with The Stone, with Grace Is Gone from LWS as a close second. So good.

    I would disagree. Studio Stone sounds good, but I prefer the studio Ants. To each their own.

    I mean, I like The Stone, but this is ridiculous.

    How do you have a perfect studio album without the band's anthem?

    Because its arbitrarily determined by track number. If it was just put the best 10 songs for the best studio album, Ants would be on it (I think), along with The Stone.

    I think that would turn into "I'm going to vote for my 10 favorite songs."

    Not so sure I agree it would make it. If people didn't have to worry about track slots, I think Lillywhite would be getting more love. Love Ants and it deserves to be on the album but it isn't a crime that it isn't either.

    Considerably fewer people give a shit about DMB in 2017 if Ants Marching never happens.

    Can't say the same about The Stone.

    This poll isn't about impact, it's about studio quality

    Complexity, intricacy, subtlety, songwriting, instrumentation etc

    Ants is a close second (anthemic, true taste of the DMB sound), but The Stone is just SUCH quality in the studio for those reasons ^

    But that doesn't make Ants a better song. As has been said, this poll is for the best studio song - not the most monumental.

    That's gotta be a joke! DIDO is decent, but The Stone is on another plane

    The Stone is the better studio track, but Ants is quintessential DMB. I couldn't imagine a perfect studio album without Ants, but based on this poll it looks like that is the direction it is heading.
