I went with Can't Keep. I think that stands up better on it's own, whereas I enjoy Sometimes mainly within the context of No Code.

I even adore Eddie's uke' version of Can't Keep.

I'm a big Can't Keep fan but this isn't a tough decision. Sometimes by a nice margin.

Sometimes was the first in what is now a fairly sizeable list of songs that I can respect but feel zero urge to listen to.

Gotta go with sometimes. Can't keep live is much better than the studio. Tho prefer eddie solo on can't keep, I think.

Can't Keep.

I agree with Crackpot on this one. Both very good songs. I'm surprised at how easily I chose Can't Keep.

But, for me, Sometimes plays to its strength as an opener to No Code. I don't ever find myself making an effort to listen to this song on its own.

But, I certainly do with Can't Keep - both studio and live. This is one of the best songs they've made since Matt's been in the band - just love the swirling guitars, and the Battle of Evermore plucking, combined with a perfectly timed lyrical delivery.

Say what?

This is a very difficult match up, but Can't Keep it is. This is maybe my second favorite song of the MC era. This song is also much better in the studio than live, as is pretty much all of Riot Act.
