Sleight Of Hand is a slow burner that's getting brighter.

[stip]

while hardly a favorite, Long Road easily.

[PHATJ]

I'd love to see Sleight of Hand advance here. I think people on this board are starting to appreciate just how great of a song it is. Well, I mean people not named stip.

[ABNorman]

I don't care.

[darth_vedder]

SOH, but I do think it's a contest. Long Road is a damn fine song.

[chewm]

Long Road but its a really tough one.

[evenslow]

Long Road has run into a murderer's row this year.

Great matchup, but LR.

Sleight of Hand really is wonderful and this might be my favourite verse in the Pearl Jam catalogue:

Mondays were made to fall, lost on a road he knew by heart
It was like a book he read in his sleep, endlessly
Sometimes he hid in his radio, watching others pull into their homes
While he was drifting

Sleight of Hand is my truest and deepest PJ love. I want it to win so bad.

This is an extraordinarily difficult matchup. Sleight of Hand is an emotionally devastating piece of work, more musically accomplished. I'm more impressed by it. But Long Road can be a dagger to the heart at the right (or wrong) moment. Ed managed to write a hymn without being cloying or mawkish, which is pretty remarkable.

I'm going with Sleight of Hand, but by the slightest of margins. This one hurts.

I'll change my vote for you since I have no emotional stake in this match.

Awesome! Just let me know when you have a song that needs a vote.

[chewm]

I'm changing my vote to Sleight of Hand. It's the better song.

Yes!! Good man.

Oh sure, you guys will rally around SoH, but ignore my pleas to get rid of IMT.
