I agree with much of this, but Stranger belongs much higher in the rankings.

My favorites would be as follows:

Stranger
See No Evil
Fairweather Friend
Gimme Shelter
Last Train
The Pain Inside Of Me
Rust
Tear Down The Walls
We Are Young, We Are Strong
Dead End Drive


...After that it gets murky.

Stranger is a good song, I just don't find it has as much of HS's great melodic elements as many of the stuff above it

Last Train?

It's at the top, for some reason when I copy and paste lists from Google Docs onto hear it doesn't translate so we end up with that weird thing that makes the #1 song hard to see

Bro Stranger is one of the top hair bangers o.a.t. secular and Christian combined.

Stranger is a good song. But it doesn't have the same great melodies as the songs above it on the list.

Yes it does.

Oh, you're right, never thought about that. That's very true. Your compelling argument has given me a whole new perspective on this song, I love it now.  

(Btw, congrats on using one of the more obscure/complex emojis, don't see them being used often.)

Stranger is awesome. I'd only rank the first two albums and I'd find them impossible to rank in order as every song is a ten for me on both those albums. Only a handful of albums I can say that about.

I don't have any albums where I can say that. Even And Justice For All, my favorite album of all time, averages out to 9.1666666666667.
