Nice to see a close race. However, Present Tense and Elderly Woman are the correct tracks to advance.

The coolest part of this whole exercise isn't so much the winners but to see the diversity in everyone's taste. I like that everyone posts their votes. Pretty fun to read through.
That being said, Rival and Comes then Goes are the the odd-men-out on this round.

For me, Rival was the weakest spot on Binaural. I'd have happily jettisoned it for the wonderful Sad.

I love Rival so much. The studio version is awesome, so raw, so free, so wonderfully angry.igotworms wrote:For me, Rival was the weakest spot on Binaural. I'd have happily jettisoned it for the wonderful Sad.
And live is awesome.....Pinkpop 2000 is the best version.

Rival should win this. It's the second or third best song on Binaural, an album where the top 5 or 6 songs are as good as this band gets.

Present Tense isn’t overrated. It isn’t even rated. It doesn’t go into their greatest hits. Maybe now that it was featured in the Jordan documentary.bodysnatcher wrote:Here we go with the overrated Present Tense again.
Personally, I think it features some of their best work in terms of building the song sonically into that closing catharsis that was really featured in the documentary. I think it should be on this list.

The only song I don't like on this list is "Comes Then Goes"

It's overrated for sure but it's better than Comes Then Goes.
