Default Poll:Which "Friend" do you like best?

Now that most of us have heard the acoustic "Friend", which is your favorite version?

I love the album version with the clavinet, but if I had to pick a favorite, I'd have to go with the acoustic version. I LOVE Christine's keyboards on the acoustic version. With just her keyboard, a guitar & a little percussion, the song feels so intimate.

I totally agree. There is such a warmth in that acoustic version, it really does make me get emotional!! A few songs just pull at me every time I hear them, and that one really does.

I like the album version. I do love both however, but if I had to choose.

I am also one of the few that like the studio version of Big Love more than the Dance version.

oooo ahhhh oooo ahhhhh oooo ahhhhh

I don't have iTunes, so I can't vote. The acoustic version sounds Fab, though.

You don't need iTunes to hear acoustic Friend. Just download Christine's World Cafe Interview from Neil's Go Your Own Way website. They played acoustic Friend during this radio interview. There's a thread on this board with a link to the MP3's.

Both, I guess. You can't keep a good tune down!

Thx ya. I haven't been at my own computer for awhile, so downloading isn't an option until I get back. Hope it's still there when I return home.

Having (finally) downloaded the acoustic version, I have to say that it's beautiful but I prefer the music in the album version.

I voted for both. I have decision making issues.

I like both, I love the album version and am still undecided on the acoustic, so I am giving it a chance.
