DUDE! I just put on the Iron Harry and played Burger Time and the jam had me locked COMPLETELY IN THE ZONE.  Wow.  I obliterated my old high score, COMPLETELY carried by the energy of the jam.  I just totally knew where every pickle, egg, and hot dog was going to attack, the perfect path to take, when to dodge and when to pepper... it was a once-in-a-lifetime game.  Thanks Iron Harry!

Year\'s not over yet.

And IMO 2007 Daniel St "Space Oddity" and "GBFBITS", as well as 2007 Electric Company "May Fly" have yet to be surpassed even by 2008 IHLH

while HLH is no doubt melting faces leftand right, i would like to state that the past 2 Rufi I have seen have been pretty epic as well.

ha. burger time.

Iron horse HLH was pretty special, huh? That whole show was a borderline life changer, especially wiuac>oe encore

Since Living Daylights won\'t get any love from your tree huggers I\'m pulling for Metropolis.

Also, as someone stated before, Beef Barley has been nothing less than stellar this year. Same goes for Buquebus.

Props on the "Rufi" pluralization Lexington.

Tunage started the year strong and still has a chance to make a comeback. And don\'t sleep on May Fly. One more monster at a big show, and the slipper may finally fit this year.

But I don\'t want to be a newb, so I\'m just going to vote for Hard Luck, the only song with the Burger Time stamp of approval.

Tunage is Final 4 material fo sho. My Final Four would look like:

1.HLH
2.OE
3.Buquebus
4.Tunage

Cool thing about Tunage is that someone bitched about the vocal jams being overused and pulling away from its epicness, others (including myself) agreed to the weak sauce brought on by the vocal jams, and the band simply stopped wasting time on their mics during Tunage jams. This has happened with other tunes (I can\'t recall anything specific off the top of my head) and it\'s fucking nuts, to me, that my favorite band actually listens to the fanbase. Now THAT is awesome.

The Iron Horse HLH is def amazing.

But I think I\'m going to have to jump on the OE bandwagon here, just for sake of competition.

TEAM OE!

im gonna stick to my roots here and stay team queeb

the heavily overlooked daniel st version in jamuary is in my top 3, with my favorite first part jam of all time, and it was chris 1st queeb!
kinetic enough said
electric company was top notch
the pennsylvania show a few weeks back one of the best all time
buffalo one they just played was easily in my top 5 all time, maybe top 3

I think since I started voting in TOT\'s my final picks have been Mooboo\'s, Buquebus and OE... this year will certainly be HLH, that is of course if it makes it to the finals.

I\'m going to boycott the TOT until Ahoy! is added as it\'s own selection.
