Bee Girl felt subversive at the time, but not anymore. Glorified G has a great crackerjack riff and strong performances all around, but it's just not that great a song.
I don't like Marker as much as other people do. I like the lyrics, I think the chorus is wonderful (the chorus and the outro are my favorite parts of the song) and I like the angular verses and the discordant play on them we get in the bridge, but I've never felt like the component parts of this song come together in a way that enhances them.
Still a pretty good song, and this is not a strong matchup.

Marker honestly makes me feel a little ill every time it comes on. Dunno if it's a physical thing or its drums up some subconscious memory, but I'm voting for Glorified G.

I love the funky groove of Glorified G. It's so perfectly early 90s, and it should stay there, but it's a fun.

Marker. I really like the dual personalities of the song. My favorite part is right after the little breakdown, when Matt snaps the snare kicking the song back to the main riff.

I really love the lyrics to Marker. They still manage to work on me, even 10 years later.

Marker is so very overrated. That chorus is garbage, and the verse is a Bow Wow Wow ripoff at best.
Glorified and Bee Girl are roughly the same for me, in that they are songs I used to love and now just like.
I'll go for Glorified only because the outro is still really solid.

Yeah the Marker chorus is one of my favorites, certainly on that album, but also post RA.

This is a tough one; I like the verses to Marker more than anything in Glorified G, but I can't stand the chorus or the way they fit together. I'm reluctantly going with Glorified.

Marker is top ten PJ for me. It's all five guys at their best, even Boom puts in a decent organ. I really can't understand why it's not massively popular and I believe you dolts need some swift and brutal beatings.
although I do love Glorified G, this is easy like Sunday morning.
