I love Smile, but Habit wins because of what plat said.

Argo's posts carry a lot more gravity with his new avatar. I automatically feel more inclined to agree with him.

I actually don't really mind Habit anymore, even if I think it might be the weakest song on No Code, but seeing it beating Smile made me mad.

I think Habit suffers from the fact that there are no live versions (that I know of) that transcend the studio cut.

This is the case for most Pearl Jam songs

You guys think so? I'd say it's just handful that are like that. Ten and Vs rip live. I'd say more than half of Vitalogy. Things start getting hairy in the Jack years, but I think a fair amount of that has to do with the lack of A+ audio from their tours together. And then one really positive thing I can say about the Matt Cameron years is that there's very little difference between the studio cuts and the live cuts, outside of Ed's vocal abilities. Even the backing harmonies are done better.

Though the daytrotter version of Give It Time by The Mynabirds slays the album cut, and the album cut is fantastic.

Most live music pales in comparison to studio recordings

Hee hee hee! While I'm Open to feeding Batman and Robin to a giant clam I don't want to make a Habit of it ho ho ho! So it's one vote for Trump and one vote for dipping Batgirl in acid and one vote for turning the Gotham Reservoir into my patented Slime! Why settle for one vote when I can have three! How delicious. Ha ha ha ooh...ha ha ha!

I was actually just referring to this post from Feb 2016. I have no second accounts, and I really do not care about who wins or loses at March Madness.

I wasn't accusing you. Kind of strange how defensive you got though.
