It's clearly Grievance. As big a fan of Into the Wild as I am Setting Forth is one of the weaker songs on the album. I do think the solo versions work much better (I linked one). It's a thin, underdeveloped song (there are other songs on that album that are just as short but feel more impactful), and a solo acoustic number is more forgiving on that.

Still, he needs to include those 'hees' in these songs. It's not a great note for him.

I'm still not thrilled with the production of the album version of Grievance, but the song was an absolute highlight for me throughout the 2000 tour. Great live track for several tours.

Yeah, this is as straightforward as it gets. Grievance easily.

Agreed. Grievance live is top tier PJ, but it definitely loses something in the studio. Still,easy vote for Grievance.

I hate voting for Grievance. But even my hipsterest bullshit can't convince me to vote for Setting Forth over it. So... this is the hardest vote of the tournament so far because it's put me in such a terrible position.

Thanks, Obama!
