Both great songs, but I really love STBC. So ritualistic and messy and weird.

StBC has grown on me a fair amount over the last few years. But it can't begin to hold a candle to Betterman: an all time great.

Surprisingly, Better Man has only made R3 once, getting trounced by Immortality.
STBC has got there more often, but never further.

Huh. That's fascinating. I kinda get that though, oddly enough. Makes sense for RM's tastes and shenanigans and goins-on and such.

STBC is good, but it's my least favorite of the traditional songs on Vitalogy.

I really love Betterman. It's a beautiful song, and the closest the band ever got in spirit, if not sound, to my favorite R.E.M. work.

How is STBC not running away with this?!

Because Better Man is by far better.

Spin the Black Circle shoulda won, the feedback intro is the best part of that other shitty butt rock song.

What a really tough battle... I think that StBC may barely get the node here though.
