Setting Sun vs. Help Help

setting sun is one of pearl jam's best songs. Help help is not. It is better live, though

Setting Sun unfortunately disqualified due to Wotman’s co-authorship (applying the BiH rulebook)

Congratulations Help Help on a victory by default

Help Help is definitely one of Pearl Jam’s best songs. Damn this is a tough one.

Do you hold Crazy Mary and Army Reserve to the same standard?

What’s this about army reserve? I’d never heard of a co-authorship.

Neither is really comparable, in my mind at least.

Crazy Mary is a cover.

Army Reserve has some lyrics contributed by someone outside the band, which is hard to get worked up about.

Help Help would probably be on my personal underrated/hidden gem/whatever list. I've always liked it, it's very good, and I don't think of it very often, so there's no fatigue or boredom associated with it. But Setting Sun is just better.

I like both but this isn't a contest.

Help Help is an all-timer.

By that measure you’d have to disqualify smile because someone else drew the crooked hearts with swirls all around.

help help wins because RM is fucking terrible sometimes
