I think hard to imagine is a bit overrated, but it is probably the better song.

They don't compare.

yes, but which do you prefer?!

Rats is a delightfully weird little funk twitch with some magnificent guitar vocal work.

Hard to Imagine is a half formed song that could have been great

I think the last 2 and half minutes of HTI is truly transcendent. But Rats is just 4 odd minutes of excellent.

hard to imagine in every way possible

It's certainly tough to compare these two. I love HTI's build up and those last couple minutes are definitely too notch. But Rats. It might be one of their most underrated songs. Is it because Ed says Rats a lot and isn't all sad or angry? What a fuckin jam it is. The only Vs. "rocker" I'd put in front of it indefinitely is Go.

Rats has dropped a lot for me since I've heard so many MattCam versions that don't bounce. The studio version is Dave A and Jeff dovetailed as one.

I'm not considering anything but the original.

Ask me 5-6 years ago, my answer certainly would've been different...but I've come to be a huge fan of Rats' playfulness and groove. Hard To Imagine has a nice build and some cool, ambiguous lyrics...but I don't seek it out or get excited about it like I do with Rats.

I really like this version. Great solo and I think Matt sounds really good.

Well you've all convinced me to go with Ratz.

The video could be him twirling a moustache. I'd be in love.

I picked HTI, but I'd be fine with Rats winning this. Rats aged much better than I thought it would. Great groove to it.

Both are actually great showcases for eds voice and range, but hard to imagine is easily a better song for me.

Hard to Imagine
Don't really care about Rats

Rats is fine. If have to say its probably in my top ten least listened to PJ songs list though.
Hard to Imagine is a wonderful song.
