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...

Good Things should not be able to stand up against GBFBITS, though somehow it is popular enough to give a ripping jam vehicle a serious challenge.

it\'s still early yet, I would love to see Good Things make a good showing but from some of the hating I\'ve heard on here I\'m no tholding my breathe

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.

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.

Good Things is good, but GBFBITS is an amazing jam vehicle.

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.
