According to Sussilo’s month-long survey, your favourite Home Guard songs from their respective albums are The City That Never Wakes and Sweating Blood.

As far as A Head of Steam goes, The City That Never Wakes took 43% of the votes, with Walking Against the Wind finishing clear in second place on 21%. Regarding Forlorn Hope and Glory, Sweating Blood‘s victory came thanks to 48% choosing it; Nothing Can Stop You Being Mine put in a good show to take second place with 20%.

We have to admit to being fascinated but also rather surprised by the outcome of this survey. They do say that you rarely see yourself how others see you! We’ve never pushed The City That Never Wakes as a potential “single” (despite numerous entreaties from one fan in particular), while Nothing Can Stop You Being Mine failed to make the cut for our MySpace page. But therein lies the lesson: our best songs aren’t necessarily our most commercial ones, and this fact comes to the fore when our real fans vote. (Champagne Socialist – by a million miles the most “pop” we’ve ever been – only picking up two nods is testimony to this.)

We’d like to thank Susanne once more for setting up this nice surprise for us, and also all of you who voted. You’ve certainly opened our eyes!
