I think My Father's Son is much, much better than Got Some.

I really have a wet soft spot for Got Some

They're both similar in parts though.

I don't hear that at all. Though I do hear the similarity to Arms Aloft.

It's something I hear with the cadence in both choruses.

I always hear Arms Aloft in MFS.
She's my redheaded queen, she ain't very mean.

MFS reminds more more of Push Me Pull Me than anything else. Like it's evil twin.

This is exactly right. I said this from the beginning. It just doesn't belong.

Doesn't mean it's not a good tune, i do enjoy it. I think it's a nice sound for them and they should do more of it. But, it just is so out of place.

I'm still confused about how you could say SBM 'doesn't belong', and yet FD and LTRP are also really bad. Isn't the jury out about which of these songs 'doesn't belong', especially if SBM is the best one?

Sleeping By Myself is Longing To Belong.
