Wins Hands down...
This is as good as it gets...
Chester Bennington And Mike Shinoda rock...
Amazing song, this song made Rock music look good, I'm a Three Days Grace hater but I admit I absolutely love this song and "Never Too Late".
The meanings are deep and touching, the music is entertaining, the PAIN screams is artistic and the whole song is resemble of Art, Drama and Will.
With respect and honor I say "WELL DONE THREE DAYS GRACE"!
Why isn't this song in the Top 10?
It's Three Days Grace's Signature!
This song is one of the Rock masterpieces of this decade... and not just that, this song is everywhere, I've heard it in many series like Grey's Anatomy, CSI: New York and I've seen it live on Ghost Whisperer.
I mean it wouldn't be that famous if it isn't awesome!
Hear it and you will feel true addiction!
Why isn't this song #1
It's the most beautiful song I've ever witnessed, though I don't really like 3 Days Grace but this song is a masterpiece!
It really gets you motivated and fully engaged...
The lyrics, the music, the melody and Adam's fantastic voice really gets you addicted to this song, you will keep hearing it on and on and you'll never get bored of it!
This is not the place for an all time awesome song, this song should be at least #1 (with a huge gap between it and #2).
This song was a fusion between Alternative Music, Hard Rock, Metal and Post-Grung, this song has changed many people's lives with it's unmatched Rhythm, Riffs and singing.
And Myles Kennedy's voice is one of the best among all time, he's truly the best Vocalist till now.
This song is 8 minutes and it broke all musical limits and we ended up hearing a phenomenal Song that will never be imitated, this song is a one in a lifetime musical experience that you shouldn't miss!
Alter Bridge... YOU ROCK!
This song is a masterpiece, and a lot of the songs on this list are just awful, I've heard almost every song on this list and Blackbird beats them all by a long shot
one of alterbridge's best creations. although 'broken wings' should be added to the list.

but after hearing this nerve shocker song I loved that band and loved Alternative music, though I was an R&B fan.
I applause you BB for this historical song!
I feel music is only meant to sound good and not take years for one to develop a taste for it.
Perfect vocals.
Perfect instrumentals.
Chester Bennington is on a roll.
Yay for the one actual alternative song. Emphasis on alternative not alt rock or grunge
One of the best songs! Good riff, lyrics, and brandon has such a unique voice!

Such a heartfelt song that many of us can relate to even if we haven't loved yet.
Listen to sampleSimply the BEST BAND of all time. They are everything a band should be. Excellent musicians, great songwriters, and funny as hell.
This powerful song captures the essence of the Foo Fighters perfectly and is so unforgettable. I feel very confident saying that I will never tire from hearing its memorable riff and Dave's voice. The way that the song stops, goes kinda quiet and then explodes is amazing!
it's better than welcome to black parade

The best song ever. Three days grace is the biggest band they are so good at what they do, every song of em is perfect, its about u, its about the way we see our day. Three Days Grace are the best, I don't know if there is a good enough word to describe them. Just wish they never stop doing this great job, they do now, because I love them so much. I wanna see them. I hope they will come someday to Bulgaria, and even if I can't go to see them I'll find a way cause you can't miss Three Days Grace's concert!

A classic hit about the insecurity all of us feel at one time or another. The Goo Goo Dolls Iris really brings the feeling of loneliness home.
