Wishlist is such a beautiful performance. I love that song for so many reasons.

However - Breakerfall it is!

I suggest we all go back and watch that Showbox DVD for a moment - or at least remember...

They start off with 3 or 4 slower songs - Small Town, Off He Goes, Thumbing My Way, and Thin Air...it’s cool and largely working. Then they bust into Breakerfall and blow the place up. I mean hair standing up rampage. THAT gets my vote.

Wishlist is getting robbed. It's a top tier PJ song.

I voted for Wishlist bc of Stone’s refusal to use the ebow in SVT

Yeah. I mean it’s not a song I reach for when listening on random, but it’s a good song and much better than Breakerfall

I miss that style of Ed’s vocals where he’s a really muted and so restrained he almost sounds bored

That was great. He’s like “fuck you. I’m not using that thing”

Maybe the most I've ever been on Stone's side.

Listened to both of these again today and I'm even more confident in my vote for Wishlist.

I like both these songs a lot; a slight edge to Wishlist, as the Yield version is one of the most sublime (and maybe underrated) studio tracks the band's put down. Although the coiled frenzy of the live 2000 Breakerfall versions is making me a bit uncertain.

Glad to see Breakerfall in the lead here. I'm surprised, in past years I'm pretty sure Wishlist would be winning in a landslide.
