[Birds in Hell]

Round 1-1:

Shake Dog Shake (The Top, 1984)
Trust (Wish, 1992)
Jumping Someone Else's Train (single, 1980)
Three (Seventeen Seconds, 1980)

[Anders]

Shake Dog Shake (The Top, 1984) - interesting, very passionate singing, cool music, a bit repetitive, feels very long
Trust (Wish, 1992) - mellow, melodic, sad lyrics, a bit boring
Jumping Someone Else's Train (single, 1980) - this was really cool. by far the best yet, wanted it to last longer
Three (Seventeen Seconds, 1980) - atmospheric, no lyrics

Easy vote for Jumping Someone Else's Train.

Stately, coldly emotional "Trust" wins this one

I'm torn here. 'Jumping Someone Else's Train' has this whole Billy Bragg-esque thing going on, and anyone who knows me knows that's a good thing in my book. I've always loved the quirky delivery of that title line in the song.

Trust is quite lovely though, and everytime I hear it I feel as if I'm in the middle of a John Hughes movie.

Gonna go with Trust today, but I could be swayed.

Trust

No way I can go past the gnawing, pulsing, viscous Shake Dog Shake.
