Made of Steel.....more catchy, will catch more listeners I think. As much as I love the others, I don't think they'd bear as well with MOST people.

I feel hatred coming on cuz I know many people want to see "All For You", but I would seriously be shocked if that happened.

on olp.com, they have SOT, Innocent, made of steel as songs you can listen to, this sounds like this would mean Made of steel will be the next and maybe final single off gravity.

I don't think I'd go AS far as saying "Final Single" quite yet......I feel that they only let you listen to those 3 partially because they don't wanna sell-out entirely and let ya hear almost half the cd......the other part might possibly be that "Made Of Steel" will be the next one

Don't count out the rest of the cd as becoming singles though.........even though most of us have heard by now that they are working on new material.

I am starting to doubt whether they will even release a third song. Innocent is not on any charts in the US, so they should quickly release a third song. My vote is for Not Enough

The video's just hit #2 on Much Music in Canada. Besides, OLP almost never release singles one right after the other like a lot of other artists.

I think a Story About a Girl is easily the best song to choose. I like Do You Like It, Not Enough, and Made of Steel, and ALL for You is alright too, but I just can't see them topping Story About A Girl. My friends don't really like OLP that much but every time they hear this one I think they really like it. I think we should do this poll with SAG in it as well as Sorry. Hell, I'm gonna do it now.

I would love to see All For You released, but that's only because it's my favourite OLP song.

I vote for ALL FOR YOU. They need a hard ass rock song out. Somewhere out there is sort of a ballad, but i still love it to death. And innocent is kind of a poppy ballad too. Don't get me wrong, i love both. But i think you would see alot of people dig All For You.

I think All For You would be a huge hit. It's got the "rock" edge and radio friendly quality that a single needs.

Besides, OLP hasn't realeased a real "rock" song in ages. I know a lot of people who have been turned off from the band after Happiness..(Besides OMA), because they weren't playing heavier songs.

There are a lot of people that feel that way too i think.

Although didn't Raine say something in an interview about Not Enough being a single? That would rule!

BBTS would never be a single, it's way to risky, just like stealing babies or Wonderful Future, or Car Crash, Sorry has a super radio friendly and catchy chorus but the verse isn't as commercial, any of the others are possible singles although i would like to see a hard one like AFY or at least NE, because OLP arn't really seen as a Rockish band anymore and they could use some male support......sorry for the stereotype but it's true :oops: :nod:

see look at the magority of the male views^, obviously if OLP want to regain some of the old male fanbase back or gain some new ones they need to prove they can rock out and be more than just a pop ballad writer
