Violet Hill

I'm about as far from being a Coldplay fan as you can get, but that song has always struck a chord with me for whatever reason. Glad to see it finish as high as it did.

Graves

I came very close to nominating Poet and the Pendulum, which is probably a top 3 song all-time for me, so that's actually pretty cool! Nightwish is a fun band to explore because they've had three different lead vocalists that really all bring different feels to the band.

If you're curious about the story of Graves, I'd be remiss not to point you to this pretty short video where the two leaders of Caligula's Horse give a short summary of it.

It's one of those songs where I hear something new every time I listen to it that makes me love it a little bit more, especially knowing the concept behind it and behind the rest of the In Contact album as a whole.

Astronomy

I'm almost definitely the biggest BC fan on B8 and probably one of the bigger concept album obsessives, and even I can't figure out what the hell's going on in that whole story, mostly because depending on who you ask, it's not even clear which songs are part of the story and which aren't. Astronomy's gorgeous all on its own, though, to the point where I'm often inclined to mentally divorce it from that whole mess and just appreciate it as a kind of magnificent ode to the stars.

Also, while I like Metallica's version, I agree that it doesn't compare to the original... Or even the later version from the Imaginos album, for that matter.
