I voted Smile, but I think it's mostly due to Betterman oversaturation.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

I like the chorus of "Smile", but not much else. Never been a fan of bluesy PJ. "Better Man" is a classic, though.

Had a listen. The correct answer is Betterman.

I love Smile too however I can't deny the true answer here is Better Man.

This choice comes down to subjective vs objective through the lens of PJ fandom.

I prefer to listen to Smile because it makes me a better fan (see what I did there?), but Betterman is one of the best (if not the best) pop rock songs to emerge from the 90s.

Ohhh ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ho ho hee ha!

How deliciously droll! I can't believe it's that time of year again. Hoohoo ha ha!

Now if only I was casting my vote against the Caped Crusader and not Better Man.
