FULLY recognizing that Oceans is the better song and that this is pure recency bias I am going to vote for Never Destination. If Oceans came up on shuffle right now I might skip it, and I'd stick with Never Destination

I always think of Oceans as a harbinger for Who You Are and all the WTF it caused when No Code came along. What a song to drop on an album between Jeremy and Porch in 1991. It snags my vote.

I'm still struggling to really enjoy Never Destination, so Oceans it is.

ND is another failed attempt by Ed to be a punk rocker. enough is enough.

I don't think so. I'm sure Ed knows a lot about punk rock. I'm sure he doesn't think ND sounds like Fugazi.

I really love ND. It’s a killer track. But I think I have to go with Oceans.

I voted for Oceans, its one of my favs from Ten. ND is really cool, the first solo is great, also the guitar interaction...punk rocker? i heard a classic rock and roll jam.

Yeah, ND is closer to The Cars or early Aerosmith than it is to punk.
ND almost pisses me off, because it shows us what might have been on Backspacer. It's basically written in a style that would fit right on there, but it's just so much better songwriting and production. Basically if Supersonic was much, much better.
