Kinda surprised Animal has never won this thing.

It's never even made a quarter final. Songs that have knocked it out of previous tournaments:

Red Mosquito
Even Flow
Breath
Yellow Ledbetter
Release
Not For You
In My Tree (Twice)
Daughter
All Those Yesterdays
Brain of J.

All legit though Animal could also beat any of those on a good day.

Who voted for Can’t Deny Me.... show yourself so we can all deny you!

I can usually defend a bad song... but not cant deny me...

This is a bloodbath in favor of "Animal," and rightfully so. I do like "Go" more, if we're comparing the two, but we aren't. There's an unhinged energy to "Animal" that makes the title completely appropriate. "Mankind" is a quintessential Stone song, sly and irreverent. It's fun, but not essential. "Can't Deny Me" isn't the worst song released under the Pearl Jam name, but it certainly wasn't promising good things back in that year of 2018 when it was the "new lead single." Many of the band's latter day flaws are on display here, though it does breach some stylistic ground that is rare for the group. Easy win for "Animal."
