5 Stars 27%
4 Stars 52%
3 Stars 17%
2 Stars 4%
1 Star 0%

And it beat 10 Billion Years, which is a song a sizable part of RM has a love affair with. I'm not sure where the RM doesn't like Alright idea comes from.
It comes from the discourse around the song.

My perception, which I guess is off?, is that people liked it more out of the gate but many (most?) have soured on it quite a bit. I'm not sure how many of those people bothered to revote in the thread poll.

It's probably just that the few that really dislike it, call it an embarrassment and such, are super vocal about it.

Either way, Corduroy has still had an easy path (if not the literal easiest path) and I should have voted for Last Soldier.

Yeah but if I did it would just be for all the wrong reasons. Corduroy is the better song, even if we're in a fight.

maybe - I've also barely been around the last 11 months, so I hardly have my finger on the pulse

:lol:

I also tend to hold onto things and thus have slanted and unfair perceptions sometimes. I adore Alright. So if even a couple of posters who I like and respect bash on it, then to me it feels like the whole world is against me!

Anders, you and I agree on a lot of PJ takes. This isn't one of them.
