Hidden Track As great as it is, I feel like it was hidden for a reason, haha. I like every song on HTEP more. I think technique is really awesome, despite how short it is... Too bad it looks like that will likely go first. Here's hoping And One wins... I think it has a pretty good chance. All I know is I doubt that the Hidden Track, Step Up, or High Voltage are going to win.

The Professor Says: In Pieces is a really good song. It's in my top 3 for MtM. Glad it won since I wasn't here to vote. That guitar solo definitely surprised me on my first listen. I love the atmosphere and the lyrics of this song.

The Professor says: This is the most logical and best flowing tracklist in my opinion. (Adding the tracks you mentioned; and a twist at the end just because) 1. Wake 2. Given Up 3. Across The Line 4. Blackbirds 5. Leave Out All The Rest 6. In Pieces 7. Bleed it Out 8. No Roads Left 9. What I've Done 10. Announcement Service Public 11. QWERTY 12. Hands Held High 13. No More Sorrow 14. Valentine's Day 15. Not Alone 16. In Between 17. Shadow of the Day 18. The Little Things Give You Away -------- 19. Lockjaw (Bonus Track) 20. New Divide (Bonus Track) ... However, it should be noted that The Professor prefers to arrange all of the LP material released between Minutes to Midnight and A Thousand Suns in this order. Sort of an EP between MtM and ATS if you will... 01. Blackbirds 02. She Couldn't (Thanks LPL!) 03. Across The Line 04. Pretend To Be 05. Not Alone 06. Lockjaw 07. New Divide

#1 - And One: I remember when I was still a new LP fan back in February 2001 when I first heard this. I was absolutely in love with Hybrid Theory at the time. Anyway I was curious to see how these guys sound live, so I punched "Linkin Park" into Limewire and a bunch of songs I've never heard of popped up among the usual suspects. 'And One' was one of them, and its been my most consistent favorite LP track since. For me, And One is my definitive Linkin Park song. #2 - Blackbirds: When I first heard this song, I wasn't too big on it to be honest. But after a few days I found myself listening to it more and more. As of right now, I play this song and 'The Catalyst' the most of their entire discography. I love the structure and melody of this song, and the lyrics really hit home for me. #3 - Figure.09: Who honestly doesn't love Figure.09? When I first heard Somewhere I Belong on the radio in 2003, I was disappointed as I didn't really like the song, and never really have. But when I heard all of Meteora, I realized how awesome it was, and I always played this song right here the most.
