I\'m still banking on Matt coming up with a killer organ part for Fairy.

Neither song really has been played enough to jump out at me. I enjoy Fairy more than UF. Hope that Fairy can find a restructured life in the bands song list.

Yeah Fairy was better with Jordan singing it.... but still presents a great blues-style guitar solo, usually some real classic tasteful stuff

Uncle Freddy = 1999?

I don\'t really know Uncle Freddy, which makes me think I like Fairy more (lol, like the logic?!)

Neither song is played enough to really care but this might be the best match of songs that should be played that aren\'t.

Fairy is a pretty awesome, have not heard it without Jordan yet, so it still gets my vote.

I went Fairy but more for what it used to be, I feel like it\'s lost some oomph over time.

I can see Fairy making a comeback not sure if it\'ll be as strong or better.

I like uncle freddie, it\'s always a treat. Completely different style, a rare song a nice breather at the end of a crazy set, it is what it is and I can see why some people don\'t like it but I think it\'s great.

Despite missing Jordan\'s vocals, have to go with Fairy.

uncle freddy.. songs like this and funky bill\'s are "signature" songs I think...

its tough. i mean, i voted, but how can u even compare the two? i always think \'if i was gona see the song live i\'d pick..\', but still I LOVE \'UF\' and felt a little guilty after making my vote. oh well..

UF. Even WITH Jordan\'s vocals I never much liked the song. It always sounded like his voice was about to crack, and the lyrics don\'t do much for me. Musically... it\'s alright I suppose but was always a cigarette break for me.

Mine was a blind vote; I like Fairy, I don\'t know the other one.

I suppose I should unvote.
