First of all it's surprising to see just how many songs or on this list - Mr Gould wrote on his Twitter that the band is sifting through a list of over 50. This list compiled by the fans has well over 50, almost reaching 100.

While it is not a surprise that Epic is #1 (even with 10 people leaving it off), since it's kind of obvious they'll play it and lots of people still love it, we thought that it was quite interesting that Stripsearch made it to #2. It's safe to say Stripsearch is a definite fan favorite. It was great to see songs that were never released as singles score highly such as Be Aggressive, As the Worm Turns and Jizzlobber.

The World Is Yours, which was played live but never released until the first greatest hits compilation, and I Wont Forget You, which was released post-breakup, tallied 7 and 5 votes respectively. A number of b-sides that were hardly, if at all, played live scored well. We believe this indicates that while most fans want to hear the classics, they also crave for some songs FNM never played live. This also might explain the 15 votes Malpractice got. Surely some fans are eager to compare the FNM performance of the song with the Dillinger Escape Plan live version they did with Patton.

This is the tally so far. After just tweaking it with four additional lists from the original draft, some songs really jumped ahead so who knows what the next tally will bring?
