Not For You vs. Small Town

Elderly Woman is the only easy vote for me this round, even thought NFY is great. 'I just want to scream...hello' is always a live moment highlight for me. Chills every time

Small Town

Not For You.

Such a simple and powerful riff and yet the song has a casual start and as
the music picks up Eddie's voice sounds like it's floating along at first. I like the defiant lyrics. The guitar in the bridge sounds like a swarm of angry bees. The guitar leads leading into the quiet part of the bridge are great. To top it all off there's some nice picking above the neck, a song of anger and defiance ending in a gentle, slightly askew choral effect.

Small Town's great but I enjoy Not For You, even more.

I know that Small Town is a great song but it's been a long long time since I've enjoyed it.

Not For You burns.
