Re: D3 Round 2w: Once vs. Yellow Ledbetter
Once is still a good song, and it's a testament to the performance that I don't just instantly dismiss it as overwrought nonsense, but Yellow Ledbetter is one of their most beautiful songs, and arguably Eddie's best vocal performance.

Once deserves to slaughter YL.

YL has grown on me over the years, but its overrated. Once is probably my least favorite track on Ten, but gets my vote here

I'm still not convinced that there is a single lyric in Yellow Ledbetter.stip wrote:Once is still a good song, and it's a testament to the performance that I don't just instantly dismiss it as overwrought nonsense, but Yellow Ledbetter is one of their most beautiful songs, and arguably Eddie's best vocal performance.

Re: D3 Round 2w: Once vs. Yellow Ledbetter
I'm voting for the studio version of Ledbetter (without the last note cut off, of course) and not the awful live versions from the past few years.

I'm not sure I'd be sad if I never heard Once again. But I know I'd be really upset if I never heard the studio version of YL again.

I don't really care for either of these songs. I remix of Once, on the Ten Redux, is better than the original mix, so I'll vote for that one.

Re: D3 Round 2w: Once vs. Yellow Ledbetter

I could never hear these tracks again and be okay with it. Both have something but it's dwindled over the years.

Yellow Ledbetter kinda sucks.
Friends is pretty good though.
