I can't believe Brother, of all songs, has three god damned versions. Probably the original demo is best, but none are great. This is the worst song of the Ten era. And I do like the atmosphere of Of the Girl, even if in the end it's just an average PJ song for me

It starts out great but 30 secs in I wonder why bother listening to this bside.

Of The Girl however grows on me year on year.

Totally - starts out like Deep v. 2 and collapses into nothing so quickly.

I wonder if this predates deep?

Is this the Brother with lyrics or without?

"Brother" isn't a very good song, though I am kinda partial to the Lost Dogs version. "Of the Girl" is one of my favorites, so it's an easy win here.

Yeah i'm with you here...as much as i love pretty much everything from that early era, Brother is one that i've always just thought was super mediocre. Of the Girl for me.

I wish they would go back to opening with Of the Girl more often. Easily one of my favorite openers.

Sets a real sexy tone, don't it?

I hope a Binaural Track wins it all this time.

There's definitely a few Binaural tracks that I could see voting for until the end.
