welcome to every '95 show
Yeah, that was a good year. Wish I had seen more shows that year.
I wish I was a little older. Was my first show in Milwaukee. I can still feel it.
My first was Soldier Field that year, which featured these opening 8 songs...
Release > Go > Last Exit > Spin the Black Circle > Tremor Christ > Corduroy > Whipping > I Got Shit
Now if you'll excuse me, I have some pants to change.
My first Sydney March 10, 95.
Go - STBC - Last Exit - Tremor Christ - Animal - Corduroy - Not For You - SoLaT
Jaw dropping stuff.
Don't know how Ed's voice ever recuperated.

I voted for Go because I think Brain of J has a better chance of beating it.

I wouldn't vote for many songs over Hail, Hail, but Go is one of them. The sheer propulsion of the latter for me outweighs the songwriting of the former.

I originally voted for Hail, Hail but just switched after listening to them both back to back. Go just hits you right in the core.

I listened to Hail Hail today, it's fucking killer, now I really believe that it's worthy of winning this whole thing. How the fuck is this so close.

Sorry, I honestly don't hate, or even dislike that song.
It was never a favorite of mine and I never really got the "elite PJ" reputation that it has, between both early era or even middle era PJ fans, when it really isn't a song I look forward to listen to when listening to Vs. It might have been affected by the fact that it's followed by Animal, which is a somewhat similar and actually simpler song, but feels a lot tighter for me.
I guess I never felt the same way most people feel about the song and I tried to be very vocal about it, especially in these tournaments, where it always makes it very far and absolutely destroys everything in its first rounds. My own comments might honestly have affected my perception of the song, and I might like it more than I think, I honestly haven't listened to Vs. in a while.
I kinda take this back, Go is nice but this really isn't close. Fuck it.

It's very close, but...
Dave A. over Jack (Go)...
maybe for the intro alone!

Go isn't even the first or second best rocker on vs. This is ridiculous. What is it doing here?

What the actual fuck, Hail Hail destroyed Release, Nothingman, Daughter, Faithfull and AtY, all of these are huge songs and definetely better than Go. And now is when Hail Hais is losing?
