That's possibly the lamest music related comment I've heard from you yet!

GangstaFam said:

Why? It's a decent song, but I really don't think it's anything spectacular like the other songs left! Maybe it's the "Like a Virgin" effect.

Moonbeam said:

But to call it little more than a thesis statement makes it sound like generalized thematic crap.

That melody, those words, the character, the main guitar riff - artists go their whole careers without saying as much.

GangstaFam said:

I'd give it an 8, so I think it's far from crap. I just think it is bettered by most of the other songs on the album, but it still gets a lot (most?) of the hype.

Moonbeam said:

Fair enough.

GangstaFam said:

To me, it just can't compete with the guttural warning of "Five Years", the tenderness of "Soul Love", the epic bewilderment of "Moonage Daydream", the majestic glory of "Starman", the frenzied furor of "Hang On to Yourself", the slutty glam icon of "Suffragette City" or the passionate outcry of "Rock 'n Roll Suicide".

Moonbeam said:

Right now, "Five Years" looks to be the most in danger of getting the axe.

GangstaFam said:

which I find puzzling and completely surprising. It's a perfect opener - manages to be both understated and dramatic. Crackers, I can still remember the first time I heard it, something I can't say about very many other songs.

when's the next round, man!?!

I'm reserving my vote 'til the last minute for a reason.

not sure!

I guess I'm voting for "Suffragette City".
