Match CB: Infallible vs. Rock Around Barack

[stip]

Match CB

[Jorge]

Well?! Which one is it, Stip?!

[stip]

that's a really good question, actually.

I wonder if a copy of this song exists anywhere.

[Birds in Hell]

I have it at home somewhere.

I'm fairly certain it's Rock Around Barack.

Also, that's what I voted for.

[Jorge]

Yeah 'cause Baracking is not a verb is it?

[Heathen]

Yup, we're doing it again.

[stupidmop]

Like choosing between a punch in the face and a kick in the crotch.

[Kevin Davis]

I'll speak up for "Infallible," though I know many posters I typically agree with think it's one of the worst things they've ever done. It's probably my favorite song on "Lightning Bolt," momentum-killing chorus and all.

[stip]

Infallible is a really good song that, with a few different choices, could have been an all time great.

I could say that about much of Lightning Bolt, but here more than most.

[CopperTom]

Infallible. Rock Around Barack should have been matched up against Bushleaguer. Duh.

[bodysnatcher]

that's a really good question, actually.

I was able to save it back when it was released

[WaitingForBluey]

Like choosing between a punch in the face and a kick in the crotch.

Hmm, so which will it be? My fist or my foot? Since you obviously voted for Barack.

[McParadigm]

When you're dealing with two songs that are so clearly destined to die, does it really matter which one makes it all the golly-gee way to round two?

[Leatherhead]

I'm hoping Infallible goes far, I've been liking it more and more. I find it's best when I'm really laid back.

[stip]

I forgot who was wondering if I was serious when I said some people will vote against recent pearl jam songs on principle. I should refer them to the 5 votes of Rock around Barack

[McParadigm]

I'm just abstaining from rounds where neither track is deserving.

If somehow the songs were neck and neck and my vote actually mattered I'd probably vote for infallible....Or abstain, as it is I'll stick with the childish glee from voting for a song Im not entirely sure I've ever heard over it.

[epilogue]

Infallible is still my favorite song on any Pearl Jam album since Riot Act. So there.

[bodysnatcher]

i like Infallible in general. it just comes across as them having two song ideas and forcing them into one.

It's good stuff!
