Tough one between BRY and Dead Man. I'm going BRY today, but would certainly feel differently on another day.

Tough match but I've gotta go with "Dead Man" for being the better raw compisition. "Speed of Sound" is okay but not in the same league.

I might like Speed of Sound more than Dead Man. I'll have to think on it. Either way, all three are really good songs.

Are you guys on fucking crack? "Dead Man", very easily. BRY is a throwaway track.

Very tough call between BRY and Dead Man. They are so different that it's hard to compare them. I'll go with BRY.

This, despite Ruddo's threats of violence.

Dead Man big time. I was never a huge fan of Black Red Yellow (something about the melody and the double-tracked vocals was too grating to me, I think).

Dead Man for me too, though I really like Speed of Sound.

BRY never grabbed me in the same way that the band's other garage rockers from that period do.

Dead Man is great, BRY is great as well. SoS sucks badly. Dead Man for me today.

I don't hate SOS like many here, but I do think it's a "close but not quite there" song. There are some decent ideas, and I think had they ventured a little more down the alt country road with it, it could have been a pretty good song. As it is, I think it's just in the middle, meaning I don't hate it, and I don't love it.
