D3 Round 2w: Once vs. Yellow Ledbetter

stip · **Joined:** Thu December 13, 2012 6:31 pm **Posts:** 39922

Once is still a good song, and it's a testament to the performance that I don't just instantly dismiss it as overwrought nonsense, but Yellow Ledbetter is one of their most beautiful songs, and arguably Eddie's best vocal performance.

Once deserves to slaughter YL.

I'm pretty much burned out on YL

YL has grown on me over the years, but its overrated. Once is probably my least favorite track on Ten, but gets my vote here

I'm still not convinced that there is a single lyric in Yellow Ledbetter.

I despise Ledbetter. :throwup:

I'm voting for the studio version of Ledbetter (without the last note cut off, of course) and not the awful live versions from the past few years.

I'm not sure I'd be sad if I never heard Once again. But I know I'd be really upset if I never heard the studio version of YL again.

Voting for YL

I don't really care for either of these songs. I remix of Once, on the Ten Redux, is better than the original mix, so I'll vote for that one.

it is definitely better, but still not as good as YL

I only really like the studio version of yellow ledbetter anymore. But I rely don't care much for once.

I could never hear these tracks again and be okay with it. Both have something but it's dwindled over the years.

Once (because it wasn't in Friends).

I still love Once and I've never much cared for Yellow Ledbetter.

Yellow Ledbetter kinda sucks.

Friends is pretty good though.

A song I don't like versus a song I'm okay with.

"Yellow Ledbetter".

Pretty much how I felt about this one.

What is with all this "Once" hate? It's one of my favorite PJ songs.
