Vote

[E.H. Ruddock]

Tough one.

Not really. Hail Hail.

[LetMeSleep]

Hail Hail could win this and I'd be happy.

[stip]

Two very good songs that don't quite crack the top tier.

Nothingman

[Strat]

Oh man. Two of my favorite pj songs. So fantastic. These days i rather listen to Nothingman but Hail Hail is so well produced and - well - just awesome.

[Kaius]

Tough one.

Not really. Hail Hail.

[tragabigzanda]

Yea, this one's tough. I'm gonna hold off in hopes that someone offers an iron-clad argument for either one.

[darth_vedder]

This is an easy one, Hail Hail.

[Kevin Davis]

"Nothingman" is lovely, but has dropped a bit in my estimation over the years. "Hail, Hail" is just about as perfect a song as this band has made, though. I'd pick "Nothingman" over some others in this round, but I can't do it here.

[PHATJ]

I picked Nothingman, but I like Hail Hail just as much.

[tragabigzanda]

I was torn, but it looks like it's gonna be a blow out, so I've voted for Nothingman just on principle.

[chewm]

Nothingman is my favorite Vitalogy song. I love Hail Hail but this isnt close for me.

[epilogue]

Both of these are great songs. Two of the band's best really. But even still, Hail Hail should win easily. And I don't mean that as any kind of slight against Nothingman, which is gorgeous and still refreshing and lovely to listen to. But it's really just a testament to how fucking absurdly phenomenal Hail Hail really is.

[Birds in Hell]

I've never much cared for Nothingman while Hail, Hail is one of the band's most perfectly realised songs.

[evenslow]

it's egg continues to roll thick and heavy

[Birds in Hell]

That line grosses me out.

[Self]

Two songs with great chord progressions.

I haven't sussed it out, but I'm thinking if one was played in the style of the other, they wouldn't be so different.

[Jorge]

I like 'em both!

But "Hail Hail".

[EJ]

I kinda want Hail, Hail or Last Exit to win it all this year.

[chewm]

So when this match closes, Hail Hail will have destroyed two of my all time faves. Fuck
At least they were beaten by a great song.
