Thumbing My Way.

Look, we all know the best Lukin was slow Lukin, and it's usually a song I have no time for live, but that was a good version

I’ve always loved Lukin

Thumbing My Way is pretty boring.

Sometimes (often) I forget that Thumbing My Way is actually a very good song. This was a helpful reminder. Great version - better than the studio version. Just a little bit livelier without sacrificing the emotional weight. It may actually enhance it since it loses the sad sack quality the studio arguably has.

Easy vote for TMW

I expected to vote Lukin here before listening to these. But, this version of TMW, a fairly boring and stifled studio track, really opens up in a live setting. And, it gets my vote today.

I hate Lukin so effin much. The only thing that song has going for it is its brevity.

I voted for TMW. Not because I hate Lukin but because Ed seems to.
