11. If You Can't Beat Them
12. Leaving Home Ain't Easy
13. Fun it
Hello! I've been gone for a couple days, so here's the new poll.
More of That Jazz was in position to get out, then someone spammed the poll to make IYCBT win. I was debating ignoring the final results and making More of That Jazz get out, but I didn't because I don't want to intervene with the poll too much, and besides, I prefer More of That Jazz. More proof not to use these results for any scientific research.
New poll here. Vote for your least favorite, and please vote only once: link
More of that Jazz has a riff good enough to get the song out of the bottom three. I like it, but I am partial to Roger's output. I don't think it will live much longer.
If you can't beat them is a so-so song performed/recorded/produced poorly (can't tell what the problem is, really). The live versions arr much better. Need your loving tonight is not too different from it but the latter has more "oomph".
My vote? Give me a second to think.
For the sake of keeping "More of that Jazz" for another round, I will vote "In Only Seven Days" out. Below par Deacon effort.
Also remember MOTJ's is Slash's favorite Queen riff. Just listen to it before voting. It's almost surreal.
The riff yes it's great like all the guitar parts and the drum beat very "Bonzo style" but the choirs are heavy and dissonant enough to bring anguish and weigh down the song excessively.
Somethimes I stop and think how this could have been a greater album with a better sounding drum. It's so incredibly compressed and stale, that's a shame... No weak points: all songs stand on their own and have a different feel, meaning.
