Post by: Me! on June 12, 2006, 03:03:07 pm: I almost hate to do this (not really) but I had to go with Good Things, almost purely on principle, cause I pimp this song sooo much...

A song as well written as Good Things should be able to stand up against most "jam vehicles" in most circles but maybe not w/ this crowd.

I must admit the Crystal Bay rendition of Good Things actually gave me a different perspective on it, but I still say it\'s overrated, hence the 12 spot by granted by the bracket committee.

Hey @ least I said MAYBE not w/ this crowd.
I mean I am still holding out hope that people will recognize the song for what it is(one of the most mature and well written songs by Tim to date) and not just vote for the jammier song.

Post by: bdfreetuna on June 12, 2006, 04:39:40 pm: mannnnn... these songs serve a totally different purpose.... ballad vs. open-ended jam vehicle

So hard to pick.... Good Things is probably better for its 6-7 minutes... but GBFBITS has unlimited potential depending on whatever the boys come up with that night.

Fiery ball by a split hair. But man, Good Things is def one of my favorite new songs.

Post by: boombox on June 12, 2006, 06:05:11 pm: Good Things is good, but GBFBITS is an amazing jam vehicle.

Post by: wiredchicken on June 12, 2006, 07:06:23 pm: Good Things all the way. such a well written tune. it totally stands up against a "jam vehicle" just becuase it certainly is one of the more mature songs that i have heard from Tim. the emotion in the tune is great, and the Coda sealed it up as a fav of the new tunes for me.

Post by: Me! on June 12, 2006, 07:30:27 pm: I was really thinking Good Things wouldn\'t beat Great Big outta the first round, but I\'m becoming more hopeful......

Post by: davepeck on June 12, 2006, 10:01:12 pm: really 2 of my least favorite b\'fast songs.. who\'s the tallest midget? i dunno. voted Fiery Ball.
Title: (05) Great Big Fiery Ball In The Sky def. (12) Good Things 38-30
Post by: delfunk1 on June 12, 2006, 10:42:09 pm: because good things last only a short time......but more than 1 round!

Post by: Mamalakabubadaya on June 13, 2006, 12:23:16 am: easy choice going with GBFBITS.. good things=my least favorite of the new songs and possibly my least favorite bfast song ever. i know, i know, it\'s the lyrics that count...whateva.
Title: (05) Great Big Fiery Ball In The Sky def. (12) Good Things 38-30
Post by: daffodil on June 13, 2006, 08:49:51 am: i went with good things. 9 times out of 10 i\'d go for the jam vehicle over the ballad. but in this case, while gbfbits is a good jam vehicle, it\'s not a very good song. on the other hand, good things is a delightful song, so i had to go with that.

this is gonna be the biggest upset since that segue into bugs

:lol: rotfl :lol:

i liked that segue, for the record, but that was one of the funniest posts of the year...

anyway, i think i\'ve got to go good things here...it is clearly a much more mature song, and although some of the best jams i\'ve ever seen the bfast get into came out of GBFBITS, this is tourny of the tunes, not tourny of the jams....

I still haven\'t voted for this match-up, so I will vote and break the tie. Which ever side bribes me better gets my votes.
