Re: 105. Off He Goes vs. Sometimes
I'm still salty about "Off He Goes" beating "Light Years," and I like "Sometimes" more anyway, so that's my vote.

Man, tough match. I feel like "Off He Goes" is the greater songwriting achievement but I'm with Trag -- "Sometimes" is the more singular work. Going with "Off He Goes" -- too beautiful to not -- but respect for both choices.

Re: 105. Off He Goes vs. Sometimes
I hadn't articulated it in that way, but that description of Sometimes does feel really apt for me, and it's why I'm picking it. Even when he's writing great stuff, I think Eddie will often consciously (and sometimes not) emulate his heroes or the song or artist he's trying to go for (you see a lot of this on Earthling). And a lot of it's great, but I really love songs like Sometimes and Insignificance where, at least to my ears, it's harder to hear the part of his album collection those songs are coming from.Kevin Davis wrote:Man, tough match.
