EBYT is one of the best songs of all time

I don't remember that All-4-One song so I'm listening to it now.

Right off the bad, that note at 0:08 ("weigh-YEENG") is a really bad choice.

Sweet sax solo leading into a key change!

But this song is pretty bad

Is this the most average-looking boyband of all time? I like that they just look like 4 random dudes

It’s very good. How many songs are in the “one of the best songs of all time” tier?

I genuinely dislike Every Breath You Take.

I genuinely adore I Swear.

This is an easy vote for me even though I know I'll probably be the only person to show I Swear any love.

So it goes.

Wow, I thought for sure this would be a shut out. But then again Nickelback got 2 votes against Marvin Gaye so I doubt there’ll be any shut outs at this point.

I thought about voting for EBYT because I knew I Swear didn't stand a chance. But what's the fun in that? I went with my heart instead.

To be fair, I do prefer John Michael Montgomery's version of the song. But that one's not in this contest.

Never heard I Swear before. Hope to never hear it again. The Sting Band wins.

I’m voting for the Police only because of Stewart Copeland and the Biggie tribute song that samples it.

I don't really care for Every Breath You Take, but it's a lot better than I Swear.

The production on EBYT is kind of flat. Drums sound terrible, has that dated 80s murk.
