Assuming my original 10 was register these are the other I would also go for: Wait Eight Letters Don't Say Goodbye The Day The Work Is Done LAHAM WCIWUWY Another Crack I think I voted for: Nobody Else, Holding Back The Tears, LINLUAA, Butterfly, Sleepwalking, SIA, WYBTDM,CMH, We All Fall Down, AKSIL ?

I'd have chosen a lot more myself, dylan There are 2 songs that I desperately want to hear live: WYBTFM and Don't Say Goodbye and then a lot of songs I really love- unfortunately I had to leave out Flaws, despite it being one of my favorites. I thought that we had the chance to hear Flaws live, so I opted for songs we've never heard before live.

Love aint here anymore more was the single that didn't reach number 1 when they had huge run of number 1's. I myself believe it was a better song than some that did reach number 1 it was just released too late in the campaign.

I like the song too, it has a very classic, vintage sound to it. But I'd choose it over other songs only if Gary sang it the same way he did on the Ultimate tour - with those amazing final notes. I see we have a few songs that are detaching themselves from the others: Holding Back the Tears, 8 Letters, Said It All and Will You Be There For Me. - love all of them, even if I didn't vote for 8 Letters and Said It All (again, because I really really want them to sing, just once, some of the songs they've never sung). How did it come to this is a beautiful song (though Flowerbed and Wooden Boat are better Jason songs), but I wonder who would take on Jason's lead parts in case they ever decide to perform one of his tracks live.

Love aint here anymore was a number 4 hit for them. Number 4 surprised people from all reports as i i think 5 of their previous singles went straight to number 1. For them to miss a top 3 position was a big surprise. Nonetheless they followed it up with 5 more number 1 in a row, Sure, Back for Good, Never Forget, Patience and Shine.

Oh well, at least, we'll see the general consensus amongst people on this forum as to what they'd like to hear on a tour.

Interested to see some consensus in terms of songs such as CMH,WYBTFM and HBTT. Unfortunately, doubt very much that all three will make the cut for the next tour. If the tour mirrored the main choices of this poll it would be fantastic, but certain songs will always take priority. One criticism I have of the band is their reluctance to 'mix things up' a bit, consequently some wonderful songs rarely, if ever, receive an airing. I guess given their longevity in the business and their extensive back catalogue this will always prove to be a stumbling block.

I'm hoping that, with the BBC show, things will change a little- maybe the contestants will perform some TT songs the boys themselves never performed. It's not the same and it's not ideal, but at least the world will get to know more of their music.
