Let it Ride vs. Dance of the Clairvoyants

Dance x1000. One year out and I still can't get enough of that song

Dance, total masterpiece

No love for BTO?

Well, yeah !

DOTC will win this tournament

I like Dance quite a bit, but I have to stick with Let It Ride here.

Dance, easy.

Love both. DotC.

Tight, but probably DOTC

Both very good.

It's a shame that "Let it Ride" has to come up against "Dance of the Clairvoyants" here. It's a gem of a song that bridges the transition from Riot Act to Avocado, capturing aspects of both records. I'd like to see it go farther, but "Dance" is a titan that can steamroll many songs that are good but not all-timers.

Hm, this is a tough one for me. I actually like Let It Ride a bit more.

Since NaiS is miraculously gone, you may well be right.

Hm, this is tough, these are probably my two favorite PJ songs (or, in the case of Let it Ride, songs we finally heard) from PJ in the last ten years. They're somewhat similar in that they're really good songs that reach that elevated status by particularly phenomenal endings. I think I may like Let it Ride's ending better, but overall Dance is probably the better song as a whole.

I don’t know why you keep thinking that about NaiS. It hasn’t ever won this tournament, not sure why it would suddenly jump over all the other classic favorites

Dance could be the winner for sure. Its that good.

I haven't spent a lot of time with Let It Ride. Dance MADE me spend time with it. That's a great indicator of a great song.
