This is a really tough question.

I voted for the current lineup because I love it! The guys are better musically and vocally,and Dangler is the best thing that has happened to this band, well that and Jordan coming back too! I feel like these guys can do just about whatever they want musically and could pull it off. I, like everybody else, wish there were more shows but we take what we can get. More shows would allow them to delve deeper into the repertoire and add more songs.

That all being said, I do love every incarnation of the band. I listen to them all depending on my mood. PB is the classic and is the genesis of this incredible thing. The trio was so tight and nimble and could turn corners like nothing. The lineup with Matt and Ron was really just starting to flex its wings before the change to Chris. Now, I feel like that lineup, with Matt and Chris, really put a different twist to the sound and the jams. Those four put together some really amazing moments.

I just love whats happening now. If I could vote for them all, I would.

I give the current line-up a definite edge over the original PB. Was always my opinion that the band needed Jordan regardless.

Reason is, although Ron certainly kicked ass at bass and could write some great songs.... well, Dangle just kicks even more ass at bass and writes straight up epic anthems.

Not to mention all the other guys have several more years of practice and experience under their belts, that never hurts either.

while i agree with the sentiment, the thread title specifies "musically." his effects were certainly felt when at the show, and i\'m sure he had an effect on the musicians...but i don\'t think he affected the music nearly as much as the actual musicians. what i will say is that he would make any of those lineups better

Wonder if Ellis\' favorite line up is when Gencs was doing load in. Man, those wires and cables were plugged in COR-RECTLY!

power trio.  no offense to either key player or dangle, but i just found the trio to be more in your face rock and roll.  tight, focused and delivered hard versions of everything(even heather).

My second favorite era, of course, was during the years I could count on a giant sweaty man-hug from Stephen that would soak through at least two layers of clothing in the winter, and straight to my soul in the summers.

Where has Stephen gone? I didn\'t realize running a booze dispensery and whoring his own mother would be so time consuming these days.

Awwww....I\'m touched.......mom whoring is easy since all mom\'s are whores by nature.....they take to it naturally and need little guidance or supervision...However running a booze dispensary has taken hold of pretty much every waking moment of my life...Not only that but it has turned me into a bitter old miserable jerk.....I still love The Breakfast and all of you guys...for without the afformentioned I would be dead for sure......

In this, we share something in common, broseph.

I actually recently got back from the detox unit at a nearby hospital, where I checked myself in to try and safely deal with a devastating 8+ year benzodiazapine addiction. Looking forward to enjoying my first show clean and healthy in quite some time tonight at the Church. Although I have to take a rather heavy dose of anti-epileptic meds for the time being, hopefully the seizure-y-ness will too pass in time.

<3 you guys and gals. You always had my back and some of you, you know who you are, actually probably saved my life straight up once or twice. I intend to honor that fact by not putting any of you in that kind of situation ever again.

And I intend to get DOWN to the music tonight!! :D
