How can people not vote strangulation!? The only songs I'd have a hard time with going up against that beast is Phone, Steam or Dondante, or O is the One.  Let's just hope it never gets to that...

Ha! I know right? But you know what, OTR seriously jams towards the end of the song and doesn't let up. Still I had to go with Strangulation 'cause well, it's the shizz...

It makes no sense to me that you am others are voting They Ran over Twilight. I guess that's the point of this, though.

There is something about They Ran, it was one of the first songs from their debut that grabbed me.  Twilight is good too and this one was a tough decision, but They Ran edges it out on my end. 

Strangulation has just so much more emotion and depth to it imo.  Off the Record is great; it just isn't one the same level of Strangulation.  I understand Z being your intro record and Off the Record having a deeper meaning to you in that way.  Strangulation live is much better than Off the Record.

Strangulation is definitely better all in all, that was just the toughest choice so far.  I actually find myself being a Z hater a lot. Might be my second least liked next to Circuital.
don't rock bottom, just listen just slow down...

Seems like most folks are in agreement on these.  I prefer the live versions of all of these songs to the studio versions, especially the Tenn. Fire and At Dawn songs.

6. Strangulation!
7. It's About Twilight Now
8. Can You See the Hard Helmet On My Head (Talk to me, Goose!)


Shug, do you love both of the #8 selections so much that you couldn't decide?

Yeah, that was it!  Sorry, but I can't get behind that 80s stuff or Hard Head Helmets, so I abstained.  Democracy only works with an educated populace, so I don't vote on issues that I'm ignorant about. :beer:
