Force of Nature vs. Spin the Black Circle

Force of Nature is nice and i really love the lyrics, melody, and Ed's performance.

But holy heck its not Spin the black circle.

The sweep and ambition of Force of Nature carries it over the raw intensity of SBTC for me

Ed's performance on the album cut of STBC is thrilling, but FoN is a better overall song. I know it has no shot of winning so I'll give it my vote.

Force of Nature is still one of the dullest songs in their catalog to me; I don't think Spin the Black Circle is high art (although the band's performance on record, and particularly Dave's drumming, is pretty remarkable), but it easily wins out.

STBC is great in the context of Vitalogy, but as a standalone song I've never loved it. I'm team Force of Nature here.

STBC at break neck pace is thrilling.

Force Of Nature by a landslide.

I’m not really a fan of either. STBC

Sorry FON. Have fun with your lighthouse and mermaids or whatever it is you’re up to. I’m going to get drunk and listen to some records!
