Okay, one more contest, and this one is to continue with the polemic over ATYCLB and HTDAAB. I'm doing this to see which has more love around here by the facts of the numbers.

Say which of them you prefer and then vote for your favourite 10 songs of the 00's. Don't include Mercy. Only the 12 songs from the two albums and the b.sides

1) 10 points
2) 9 points
3) 8 points
4) 7 points
5) 6 points
6) 5 points
7) 4 points

9) 2 points
10) 1 point

Let's go

Can I just ask since you haven't pointed it out, can I include Electrical Storm, since it was recorded in 2002. Also, why no 'Mercy', out of curiosity?
 
ATYCLB

1. Beautiful Day
2. Walk On
3. Vertigo
4. Love and Peace or Else
5. The Ground Beneath Her Feet
6. Miracle Drug
7. Kite
8. City of Blinding Lights
9. New York
10. Are You Gonna Wait Forever?

If Electrical Storm is allowed, it would place SECOND, pushing all except BD down one place.
 
1. Walk On
2. Beautiful Day
3. Sometimes You Can't....
4. Stuck In A Moment
5. Kite
8. Vertigo
9. Yahweh
10. Elevation
 
make that:

1. Walk On
2. Beautiful Day
3. Sometimes You Can't....
4. Stuck In A Moment
5. Kite
6. Miracle Drug
7. Te ground beneath
8. Vertigo
9. Yahweh
10. Elevation
 
I forget to say, Electrical Storm and Hands That Built America also aren't allowed. Only because this contest is to evaluate the diference between ATYCLB and HTDAAB and so I think that it's better to count only with the album songs and single b-sides.
 
1. COBL
2. Fast Cars
3. Walk on
4. Beautiful Day
5. Vertigo
6. Elevation
7. Sometimes
8. Are you gonna wait forever

I notice that I've got 6 ATYLCB songs (4 in my top 5) and only 4 HTDAAB songs, but I'm still sure that I like HTDAAB better. I'm a total sucker for that album. It's very rare that I can listent to a couple of songs w/o playing the entire album.
 
Darnyouall!!! :mad:
I equally love both albums so it's deathly hard to choose!

But I suppose... I'll go with HTDAAB

1. City of Blinding Lights
2. Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own
3. Love and Peace or Else
4. Vertigo
5. All Because Of You
6. Yahweh
7. Miracle Drug
8. One Step Closer
9. Original of The Species
10. Crumbs From Your Table

A Man and A Woman was okay but just didn't make the list.

Not true. I love ATYCLB too but I just prefer HTDAAB more right now. Who knows? Opinion may change in the next month when I listen to ATYCLB more than HTDAAB. :D
