Hold On vs. Garden

From the earliest moments of my fandom I've never liked Garden. And while Hold On is cheesy as hell, it is cheesy in a way I find really fun and enduring. I really like all three versions of it (Lost Dogs, Acoustic, and the Ten era vocals). Easy vote.

Had Eddie stayed with his early 90s vocal stylings for longer, in fairness, I might like it a little less.

Garden

Hold On for me...Garden is a difficult one ...i never liked that much.

Ugh, these may be my two least favorites of the Ten-era; they both sound like caricatures of the band rather than what they were actually capable of. I'm going with Garden, but whichever advances is more likely than not losing the next round for me.

While I’ve enjoyed Garden, Hold On is one of my absolute favorite tunes by the band. It is easily my favorite non-album track and like you, enjoy all three versions of it we’ve had shared with us.

Alright you convinced me.

Garden

Garden kicks ass and Hold On blows ass.

Garden is a perfectly great song but the definitive live version of Hold On is otherworldly

Large dollop of "who cares" on this 'un.
