Falling Down never really struck a chord with me (surprisingly). I wish the studio version of Ole felt a little less polished the way this live one does (and the solo/outro of that song are pretty great). But the best part of that song doesn't translate well live, and the Falling Down performance is just better.
Easy vote for Falling Down

Ole is awesome and I love everything about it.
That version in the clip, is... I have no idea. The recording is bad. The sound is bad. I can't tell whether its a good live version or not.
I'm gonna vote for the other thing, even though I don't really care for it, because at least I can hear it.

I hate Ole, but since I heard this one first hand, Ole it is.

This should have been the Ole nominee.

I would like Falling Down a lot more if it didn't sound like Ed had marbles in his mouth. It wins here because that recording of Ole is terrible.

Ole has aged very well for me. For instance, it's approximately 3,004,803 x better than Can't Deny Me, if that helps.

and any song that delivers the caption "singing and unhappy" is a winner in my book.

Don't go by that video version, the Definitive Live recording sounds much better.

they both kind of suck, but Ole is probably the worst song in the PJ catalog.

Ole is a lot better than Can't Deny Me - at least parts of Ole are really good
