The Top Ten

Lay It on the Line

Truth and honesty - something the world needs to relearn. Don't waste my time if you choose to lie. Thank you, Ric, for telling it like it is. My #1 song.

Their most well-known song, plus sick guitars, drums, and vocals. Definitely a classic rock staple!

Has the grind and the vocals that define their edge. This brought them into the mainstream.
Magic Power

Just great. Why do I find meaning in so many mellow songs? There's something at the back of our minds about the beauty of this song. We don't know exactly what it is, but we hope for something good to happen in the song, even if we're unsure of what that might be.
When you listen to the song with the lyrics, everything becomes clear. The music reveals its meaning, expressing what we wanted to hear. He's young and wild now because he understands something. He's free to rock out. He's got the magic power of the song's musical meaning.
His girlfriend climbs into bed, pulls the covers up so her boyfriend doesn't see what she's doing, and turns on her radio. She hears the song after having a bad day and hopes the radio will play her favorite song (this song). The music makes her feel better. She feels closer to the dream of that magic power. A little magic makes the night better as she realizes the song's meaning. Then she's young, wild, and free to be part of the song.
We're thinking it over but can't sort out everything in the song. We want someone to explain it to us. We're sad and lonely without the power, so we try to reach for its peak. The music keeps the power going, and the song never stops. The world is full of compromises and the nonstop red tape of the musical notes. The power comes from understanding the music's meaning. The music asks us to turn it on, turn up the song, and get the power. It's about two different people who gain power from understanding the meaning of music.
Somebody's Out There

Great song from a three-member band. I love the guitar, and the key change might be the best part.
Hold On

He sings this song for the common man and for people in despair. He brings this song into the world and sings it everywhere.
I love how he talks about the value that can be found in music. It's the greatest message in any Triumph song. I heard this song on the radio, and it instantly became my second favorite song ever (nothing can beat Bohemian Rhapsody).

This is one of the greatest songs of all time! It has to be number one!

One of the best songs in the history of humanity. It must be number one!
Fight the Good Fight

Their anthem! I sing this almost every day when I am challenged. It gives me shivers sometimes. Great message. Just filling in words now so I get the good message rating.

Literally one of the best drum intros of all time. Gil Moore is an underrated drummer with exceptional skill.

So many Triumph songs are about not giving up, always trying, and doing the right thing. This song is awesome.
Spellbound

Spellbound is definitely the best.
I Live for the Weekend
Follow Your Heart

Inspirational, uplifting, and it rocks out.
Rock 'N' Roll Machine

Love the guitar solos in the live versions. The talent is on loan from God.
Say Goodbye

The Newcomers

Play with the Fire

The City

The Contenders

Ordinary Man
Just a Game

Best song ever! Tells it like it is. Sometimes life can feel like a game. Just lay it on the line.
Tear the Roof Off
A World of Fantasy

My favorite Triumph song. Love the arrangement, and Emmett's vocals are great on this track. Fond memories of the video on MTV, too.
When the Lights Go Down
Tears In the Rain
Never Say Never

Very nice, and you can just feel the power in the video. I note that Mike keeps teasing fans by using this song title when asked about the possibility of another album.

That's not only number one, it's one of my favorite songs.
Blinding Light Show

My favorite Triumph song and maybe in my top ten songs of all time.

This is a fantastic song! It seems to be forgotten!
Killing Time
All the Way

My favorite song. Awesome riff and solo, as well as vocals.
Too Much Thinking
I Can Survive

Magic Power is actually my favorite. This needs to be higher on the list. It's their most rocking song. This is what started Triumph for me.
Never Surrender

Really? They have other good songs - all of them should be at the top of the list: Lay It On The Line, Fight The Good Fight, etc. But this one is the best. Come on, people - let's move it up the list!
A Minor Prelude
Writing on the Wall

If I had a theme song, this would be it. It motivates, encourages, and gets me going. Triumph is full of life and energy.
