I've always enjoyed the funk that Dirty Frank brings to the table.

Man of the hour is one of maybe two pearl jam songs that ever made me cry on the first listen. There are elements of the studio version that feel a little cluttered and overproduced to me, but it's still an exceptionally powerful song.

Dirty Frank is a lot of fun for what it is, but could have been two minutes shorter. I probably like it better than any RHCP song except for maybe their higher ground cover.

Be Like Wind is pretty but disposable.

Man of the Hour is the obvious choice.

Having lost my Dad last year the song has certainly gotten more personal for me, and in that way more powerful.

One of Ed's references to water/waves/oceans that doesn't come off as trite...

Tidal waves don't beg forgiveness
Crashed and on their way

Perfect.

The bridge of MOTH is great. The pondering shit beforehand is a bit too much. But it's still the better song here. Frank is mighty jam though.

Dirty Frank actually made R2 in 2015, something Be Like Wind hasn't matched.

In 2014, Man of the Hour managed to oust WMA, All Night and Severed Hand before being knocked out by Sometimes. In 2015, it was Given to Fly, also in R4. In 2016, it lost by 1 point to Evacuation in R2, and I never forgave any of you arseholes. Given a lucky run, it could conceivably reach the QFs.
