Mind your manners is a top twenty song. Interesting solo, fantastic chorus, solid lyrics, nice growly performance, and that great outro. Everything but the main riff is just aces.

Maybe top 20 PRAMG. We've tread this path before though

PRAMG my aunt fanny. MYM stacks up with their best stuff from any era

My feelings on "Mind Your Manners" are documented elsewhere and don't bear repeating, lest I get myself all worked up and end up being snarky and combative with my wife for the rest of the night. Suffice it to say I would rather listen to a recording of Jeanne Tripplehorn repeating the phrase "mind your manners" in her pretend Julie Andrews voice for three minutes than listen to "MYM."

My vote goes to "Let Me Sleep," though I like "Harmony" a lot too.

I honestly don't know Harmony.

MYM is OK, love the opening riff.

Let Me Sleep is the winner here.

I remember my first listen to MYM. I'd woken to find that it was released and before I had a chance to hear it, I'd had some futile argument with my wife. I escaped to our outside toilet of all places for a reclusive crap and listen to new PJ. Before the solo I'd turned it off, sorted myself and went back to the argument. That is how much I hate MYM. It ruined a crap and I'd prefer to lose an argument than hear it.

Mind Your Manners. It admittedly has a lot of the same issues that plague most latter-day PJ songs, but the track just works for me. I'm not a fan of the actual 'mind your manners' part, but the rest of the song is cool, and it has my favorite Mike solo since Riot Act.

Let Me Sleep never did anything for me, I'm afraid.

I don't like Let Me Sleep.

Mind Your Manners now grates on me significantly, so that's out.

Harmony by default!

I wanted to vote for Harmony (and initially did) but that would just help Let Me Sleep win, which it doesn't deserve to, so I had to go with MYM. But I certainly don't enjoy it as much as I used to.

I had to listen to these again to confirm, but MYM for me here.

Fuck this, Let Me Sleep is so damn good, one of their best early songs.

This match will stay open for the duration of the next round.
