Tusk - 13/20
Say You Will - 5/20

love both albums, although really dislike some of the songs on SYW. at first i was puzzled about the way you choose which songs to pit against each other until i realized you just went by track listing mostly. still it's annoying b/c you have some of my most loved songs from one and the other pitted against each other and i find it impossible to choose in those cases.

(maybe i'll try later to select the list of favorites among both albums to end up with 20 songs. :shrug:)

Over & Over vs WTWCT - don't like either, if forced Over & Over
The Ledge vs Murrow - oh this is tough!! i LOVE both these songs
Think About Me vs Illume - finally an easy choice
SMAP vs Thrown Down - argh. don't like either.
Sara vs Miranda - easy
WMYTYTO vs Red Rover - argh another TOUGH one. i can't do it!
Storms vs SYW
TAFE vs Peacekeeper - easy. do not like TAFE
NTF vs Come
SOTM vs Smile at You - lol, no competition.

Angel vs RTTG - no competition
TEFM vs Silver Girl - easy choice
Brown Eyes vs SYHA - easy
NMMC vs BTLH - easy
IKINW vs EFO
Honey Hi vs Destiny Rulz - easy. guitar on DR is pure bliss
Beautiful Child vs Say Goodbye - easy
WATL vs Goodbye Baby - the easiast yet!
Tusk vs Love Minus Zero - impossible. such different songs. both perfection.
Never Forget vs Not Make Believe - easy. NMB makes me gag.

Tusk - 11
SYW - 9

basically a draw - especially since i really cannot choose between What Makes You Think vs Red Rover, and Tusk vs Love Minus Zero, and The Ledge vs Murrow - all could have gone either way.

you mean 7?

LOL, but that's what is so much fun! :D
Thanks for participating, A for effort

I am surprised at my own choices, I think many will be at theres.

I only went with NMMC over BTLH b/c the latter was already released. The only tough decision for me was BC and Say Goodbye, I really didn't want to pick either WATL or Goodbye Baby.

12 Tusk, 8 SYW

WHAT!? :eek:
I think I just died a little inside.

8 for SYW, 10 for Tusk

can't stand Sara.

Storms and SYW are both ok to me, i don't love either.

why?

BTLH was already released live, not studio so there's no excuse for you there ;)

no brainer for me - Beautiful Child always always over Say Goodbye.

WATL vs GB - you don't like either song, or you like both? should have gone with WATL if you couldn't decide :p :angel:

Are you trying to make me cry!? :distress:

"Sara" always has and always will be, for me, the greatest song ever written.

:laugh: guess so, if that's what would make you cry? :shrug:

booooooring, barely any melody, plus goes on and on and on and on. and on. (figure i'd help you out, just in case you needed more impetus to cry :D;) )

Tusk - 11/20
Say You Will - 9/20

Sorta surprised at myself here.

But is the version on the Dance a concert song or studio cut? I have a Best Buy CD that features this and SYHA and they sound like studio work to me :D

and to those fans that insist CM was on these songs during SYW making, I still believe they were hold-over vocal tracks from the 97 period. These songs (97 vs 03) don't sound too much different to me, meaning LB didn't go in with the band to record them "fresh", again.

No, I don't care much for either :o
