I can't decide. Have to listen to SC again. It can't be as bad as LB, can it?

It's a lot worse. "Lightning Bolt" is, I dunno, whatever, but "Santa Cruz" is so insipid.

LB borderlines being a train wreck but it has genuine passion in its performance that holds it together pretty well.

LB has within it the seeds of one of pearl jams best songs, though it didn't all quite come together. Still a great song, though. Santa Cruz is, in fact, insipid

As if a song suddenly needs to be deep or meaningful to be good?

I like both songs. SC was on one of the better holiday singles in the past 10 years. LB still takes this one.

Impossible for one of these songs to be "better" than the other. They're both great in very different ways.
