Big Empty. Not tough at all.

The four best songs in this round are going against each other.

I was already a fan of STP when they premiered Big Empty on Unplugged, but that was the moment that made me fall in love with STP. I immediately started searching through my BMG catalog and I ordered The Crow soundtrack (on cassette) because I had to have that song. Several months later Purple hit the shelves and became one of my favorite albums of my youth. (When I got Purple it was one of the first three CDs I ever owned. The other two that I purchased at the same time were Vitalogy and Nirvana Unplugged. Not a bad way to start a CD collection.)

Chloe/Crown is wonderful. I love it and it deserved an easier matchup, but Big Empty has a really special place in my heart.

[epilogue]

I like both of these. Chloe Dancer/Crown of Thorns isn't as good as it means to me. Big Empty is hands down the better song. This isn't a difficult choice for me. But it does hurt to vote against Chloe Dancer/Crown of Thorns really holds a special place in my heart.

[Anders]

Purple is one of my favorite albums, and Big Empty is one of the gems there. Still Chloe Dancer/Crown of Thorns has a very special place in my heart. Whenever I listen to it, it brings me back to another time. Have to vote for Chloe Dancer/Crown of Thorns for that reason.

[LoathedVermin72]

For the record, neither of these songs has a special place in my heart.

It's because you're too young to have seen The Crow in theaters.

[VinylGuy]

Big Empty is just amazing.

[LoathedVermin72]

It's because you're too young to have seen The Crow in theaters.

Actually to be fair I have a huge nostalgic attachment to that movie

My favorite song from The Crow is Burn by The Cure, but Big Empty is an STP classic. I like the sorta bayou blues thing they have going on in the song.

[epilogue]

That original Crow soundtrack was baller.

[LoathedVermin72]

Lots of great songs on that soundtrack. Burn, Dead Souls, After the Flesh...

[Jammer XCI]

RATM - Darkness, motherfuckers

Helmet - Milquetoast

[epilogue]

Color Me Once, Golgotha Tenement Blues, Slip Slide Melting, Snakedriver...

Not a dud among them.

[LoathedVermin72]

Oh fuck yeah Milquetoast and Golgotha also rule.

[PHATJ]

I'm mildly (and pleasantly) surprised by these results.
