    Aren't we judging these songs based on their studio versions and that alone? They've never attempted to play Heartland or Drowning Man either, but those both won their categories.


    Yes, we are/should but NLOTH, for me anyway, is all about the live performances. I could never really get into the album on it's own.

    I've said this before and I'll say it again: I find it impossible to judge a song based on the studio performance alone. If they play it live, it influences my feelings about a song. If they don't play it live, it generally makes me like it a bit less. If a band doesn't feel they can pull off one of their songs in front of their fans, it might very well not be a good song. That said, I think "Drowning Man" and "Acrobat" are excellent. They're just chickening out in those two cases.

    I don't think it has anything to do with pulling it off live, but more to do with what U2 thinks fits in their show. It's the reason they never tried Acrobat (I remember them saying that somewhere...) and probably a bunch of other songs. I definitely agree with you on the liking a song more when hearing it live, but with a song like Fez I just think it's so great it has to win this
  9. Someone vote one more time here so I can go again!!
  10. Fez is down to 5!
  11. Someone wait til he's gone.
