Today's round will cover the second set of six songs, from Flower Child to Xanax and Wine.

Please rate Xanax and Wine on a scale from 0 to 10, using whatever criteria you feel allows you to best evaluate the song as a whole. I will not set criteria for people to based on, but if you feel like your best evaluation of the merits of a song comes from voting only based on, say, the studio version, go right ahead and vote that way.

Enjoyable song. 7.

 

[corianderstem]

Never cared for it.

 

[LadySpinHead]

One of my favorite B-sides from this era. Love how raw it sounds. Just a lot of fun. 9

 

[flybabe]

It's always been one of my favorite non album songs. It is an overall great sounding song and has more character and humor behind it than Fast Cars. 8.

 

[The_acrobat]

Never sure if I like this or Fast Cars better. 7.

 

[theedgeu2]

I prefer it to Fast Cars. Good rockin song. 8.

 

[prbiker15]

Much better than Fast Cars, though both are enjoyable. Great song to rock out to. 6.

 

[Nick66]

Actually sort of like this one, and I'll give it credit for not sounding like most of the other generic Bomb-era b-sides.

 

[gvox]

>> Fast Cars

 

[gareth brown]

not the best - I can see why some people might enjoy it more than Fast Cars but I think they were right to leave this to one side.

 

[An Cat Gav]

I love Xanax and I love wine so obviously I'm going to love this song!!

I prefer fast cars though.

8

 

[lazarus]

This has nowhere near the unique sound of Fast Cars.

It's funny, but an inferior demo.

 

[FitzChivalry]

I prefer the more polished production of 'Fast Cars'. So sue me.

But I love how raw and rockin' this one is.
