Sure. But Parting Ways is better than Long Road.

I really adore Gremmie. It's a fun number, and shows PJ's playful side, during a time that I didn't know they had a playful side. Having said that, the song is no Parting Ways. Parting Ways, and it's not close.

Parting Ways. Those 2000 live versions can be devastating. And there's undeniable comparisons to Long Road, but they exist on a similar plane for me in terms of preference.

I'm still a big fan of Once, though.

I think my favorite is the Lubbock one. So so good.

In my head Gremmie is a cover and thereby has no business in this tournament. I do not acknowledge its participation. However, yes, it is a fun song.

I'm a huge Binaural fan and not a real big Ten fan, but I am finding that I'm quite compelled to vote for Once.
