"Drive" is really warm and nice. I love the melody. It feels very earthy and...nice.

"Alive" is a hilarious song about God.

Easy vote for "Drive"

Eh. Both of these send me rocketing back to senior year of high school in the worst way. I'd be happy to never hear either of these again.

Vote for POD on the basis of the bizarre disparity between the subject matter of the song and the content of the video.

"Drive" is my least favorite of Incubus's singles from Make Yourself and Morning View. I mean, it's an alright little tune, but I hate that it became so iconic and was the song responsible for them blowing up when so much if the rest of the album was better. The melody is charming and stupidly catchy, which is precisely why it did so well. I can understand the argument against its inclusion in this tournament since, unlike the other other Incubus songs, it has no elements of nu metal or much post-grunge present, but it's here nonetheless.

I remember "Alive" being pretty big back in the day, and I think it made my youngest brother into a P.O.D. fan. I was never really that into it, though, and the passage of time hasn't made it any better.

"Drive" is definitely the better song, so I'm voting for Incubus again.

This tournament has revealed that I really can't stand Incubus. Every song is awful. This one even features a very particular kind of acoustic guitar playing that really grates on me, that punctuated style of playing combined with a really thin, reedy sound.

Easy vote for Alive.

It's done the same thing for me with Korn. Everything I love about music they just feel like the absolute polar opposite of.
