Fuck, I don't know what to do. Probably Black? Two best songs in this round except for Immortality

Breath. Black has a great performance from Eddie while Mike kills it. One of two songs, with Alive, that I have heard on the radio and mistook it for a live version. Admittedly though, the only time I have seen Black live where is blew me away (beyond Mike’s solo which always does) was Saratoga in 2000. The other times I saw it live it was great but not among the favorites of the night. Whenever I’ve seen Breath live, it’s been among the favorites that night. That and I am only counting the Singles Soundtrack version since the retooled Ten Redux version I did not really enjoy.

What about “and a scream”?

Easiest decision this round. Breath has never impressed me too much.

I've always liked Breath more than SOLAT (both great, don't get me wrong, and both inextricably linked in my mind probably because of the Singles soundtrack). I wouldn't be mad if it somehow upset Black. But Black is just an all timer. I fully understand people feeling fatigued by it after all these years but I don't think I'll ever get sick of it. Just a brutal and lovely song.
