Because it's absolutely one of SX's best songs and definitely their best "quiet" song that isn't part of a massive epic.

Looks like The Odyssey is coming in the next round, get ready!

I just gotta refresh myself with a few of these songs real quick and then I'll get my votes in.

Sorry for the triple post, but I have to give a shout out to The Accolade. I currently have it tied with The Edge of Forever for absolute favorite SX song. Not only are these songs simply amazing, but I could easily justify putting them in my top 100 songs of all time.
For what it's worth, right now I'm really hoping The Accolade ends up winning this survivor*
*This is all subject to change after listening to the remaining albums.

You can go ahead this time. I've decided not to vote until I re-listen to V once more and I still haven't managed to do that. Will vote in the next round.
Alright My opinion on V has changed for the better after listening to it a couple of times for the game Update coming soon!

The Odyssey joins the game! Frontiers is a bonus song.
The Odyssey is still an awesome album. Tied with V for my favorite SX. It's been a long time since listening to it and I totally forgot how mind blowing it is. And I don't care how often they play it, Inferno is one of the greatest album openers ever.

I love the entire Odyssey album and I love Frontiers and wish it had been included instead of Incantations or the Turning, which are the only songs I can bring myself to vote for in this round.
Picked my 3 favs from the first two albums, so voting for Ashes, Wings, Communion, Absence and Rediscovery. Also Wicked, Incantations, Awakenings and Frontiers.

The Odyssey Is the first album I've listened to from this band, and is really the reason that I made the decision to try to fully discover them. Listening to it right now, and I fully understand why. I also have this tied with V for favorite SX album.

Oh, I agree with all that Odyssey praise. I believe it's still my #1 (closely followed by Divine Wings and Underworld). It's going to be very hard to pick a bad song. Incantations, probably. Shit, I have to play it all again.

The Odyssey was my first Symphony X experience. The first thing that really grabbed me (outside of the guitar in Inferno) was the main riff in Wicked. I'd never heard a band use a 4/4 beat but have a riff in an odd meter over it like that before. And out of any band I've heard to this point, they still make it sound the best.
