Woof.

Two duds... Can this match remain in a permanent tie so that neither advances?

I’ve never understood the hate for “Supersonic.” “Something Special” I really don’t care for.

Supersonic is such a fun ride. Easy vote. My favorite negative review of it was when someone wrote, “at least now we know what it would sound like if Ed sang Mankind.”

Something Special is the same song that Ed weirdly feels the need to shoehorn into every recent album. It’s mediocrely corny.

I know everyone loves Ed, and obviously I'm a fan as well. I still wish we got more of Stone singing. Even if they did it as a side project under a different name, but still with Mike and Jeff there. Stone couldn't have done Alive, Black, Animal, Blood, DTE, Given To Fly, in the quality that Ed did. Not even on the same planet. But Mankind is excellent, and both of the songs we are voting for here, would have been more interesting with Stone singing.

I would have liked to see Stone sing No Way. Eddie doesn't have a particularly compelling vocal there, and Stone does sarcasm better. Help Help would have been interesting, too.

Are you people mental?

How is this not a blowout in favour of Supersonic?
