Go is as vital today as it was 20 years ago. I can't think of fewer songs (other than maybe I got shit) that have aged more poorly for me than present tense. I mean, it's a good song. One of the better moments on No Code, but I just could care less about hearing it at this point.

This is the only tough match for me this round. I'd more likely listen to PT these days, but the Go studio cut is such a monster of a song.

edit: I've flip-flopped on this one more than that fish in Doug's gif. Present Tense, it is.

Go Go Go.

PT is OK, and I absolutely loved it when they did it on the Letterman mini concert in '06, but I'm not that fussed about it these days.

Go. It has everything except understandable lyrics. And that doesn't matter a shit.

PT is good and is growing on me more and more but it ain't no Go.

At this point, I don't give a fuck about psychoanalyzing misused lyrics, live elements, production value, or any other nonsense we've all been kicking around... I base my vote on one criteria...

Did Stip vote for it... if so, FUCK IT, it's out!
