Ugh, this hurts. I Am Mine is my favorite song from the Binaural/Riot Act era, but Rearviewmirror is one of their all time greats.

I can't vote against RVM, even if I'm more likely to skip it these days.

Two of the very best finales in the catalog.

Fun fact--I'd take these two songs over every single song this round except Yellow Ledbetter.

One of the easier all-timer tracks to take for granted for some reason.

I'm surprised RVM hadn't won this thing before? But yea, it's an easy vote. I actually kind of hate I Am Mine.

I Am Mine could be a candidate for my "songs that have grown on me the most over the last 10+ years" award. But I still can't seem to pull the trigger. Even though, like Stip said, I may skip RVM more often these days.

After not having any interest in hearing RVM for years, it's coming around for me again. I Am Mine seems to get more boring over time.

At the end of the day, RVM is a top 10 PJ track. Maybe even top 5. And from there it just depends on your mood to pick which is #1.

I like "I Am Mine" but this is an easy call for "RVM."

Every year I hope I Am Mine will make it further into the tournament than the previous year. Sorry, I Am Mine.

There's probably only 2-3 songs I like better than RVM. I am Mine is good, but it ain't one of them.

I Am Mine is nice enough. RVM is too top shelf. Laughably easy.

This isn't even a contest though I do find I Am Mine moderately more enjoyable now than I used to.

Probably any time besides recently, I would have said Rearviewmirror without a doubt, but I Am Mine is certainly the PJ song that means the most to me right now. I loved it when Riot Act first came out, and it dipped in the time since until recently. It's a gorgeous song, and it's gonna get killed no matter what, so I'll go with that.
