tgsot is balls to the walls but I have to go Rufus.

My love for rufus (although not displayed very well this tourny) is very strong, i truely consider it one of the many truely great breakfast originals....but i personally do not find it to be as original or should i say face meltingly mind blowing as some of the grand schemes i have heard. Plus the treatment it recieved on RR was absolutly ser as it just makes the album for me....if GSOT wasn\'t on RR i could start to understand where all the RR bashers are coming from....But a new studio version of the old PB original along with tunes such as score, gravity, and one of my personal favs Dimension 5, make this album one to be remembered...IMO of course

and this is where it gets tough..

two of the band\'s best 4 songs (so we say), and yet entirely different.

on the one hand, you have the elusive scheme - instrumental.. possibly the band\'s most complex composition, with many different sections, each showing the supreme talent of all 4 band members..

on the other hand, there is Rufus. another monster, but this one with catchy lyrics, a shitload of fun, and tons of room for improv.. i still remember the first time i heard Rufus - i just could not get it out of my head afterwards. wanted to listen to it over and over again. the chorus brings such a smile to my face, it\'s stu...

i\'m going rufus.

I still remember my first Rufus too: 8-16-2000 at the Living Room.  Dave comes over to me when the song begins and tells me how good the new song is, though I have to admit it went over my head the first time I heard it and didn\'t share the hype till the 2nd listening.

I\'m not sure I can vote in the final - too difficult.

I\'ve never been a huge fan of TGSOT... I mean, it\'s good, but I\'ll take Rufus any day of the week.... the Rufus jam on Bonafide is one of the best pb jams in history.

The first time I heard Rufus, my jaw dropped to the floor. I swear I was seeing chords and hearing colors, it was so ser. Rufus hands down.
