I'd hope it'd be Starseed .... great song, on a popular soundtrack, the most recognized OLP song around here besides Somewhere Out There, so I must hope for Starseed.

And you finally slept, while the sun caught fire ^*

I pick THIEF for personal reasons. My sister has had two major brain surgeries to remove brain tumors. Its MY most memorable song. And when Raine met my sister, I just smiled the biggest smile cause she was alive there with me to share "Thief" live with me. First time I ever heard it live too after the 7 shows ive attended since 1995. snd she was with me :)

Aww, Jeni, that's so cool. :) I only ever got to see "Thief" live once, unfortunately... and it was before it really took full meaning for me. I'm really hoping to see it again someday... though, maybe not, cos I know I'd burst out into tears, and that would be... awkward. :uhh:

Like it or Not ( I pick not) In the US they will be remembered for SOT. It's been their biggest hit to date, and unless they outdo themselves, it'll be SOT.

In Canada, it has to be Superman's Dead. SD was the biggest song (not even rock song.. i'm talkin in general) in 1997. Clumsy is the second biggest rock album in Canadian history, and SD was the song that started it all....


I disagree Im an American who begin listening to OLP in the clumsy days. And now that that they are on there 5th CD if i tell people about OLP (which i do alot) i either get "never heard of them" :wtf: :nod: or "they sing that one song...superman or something" me= "Supermans Dead?" them = "Thats It!"


Ive never ever had someone say OH they sing Somewhere out there
Also someone said SM was not a good selling CD? well shit ive bought it twice!
