Right that too. Also doesn't the fact that they didn't have overwhelming support in here kind of prove my point, considering how much support big singles have had in here thus far?
Again, pbueddi said "big singles" in the original post, not "financially successful" singles. I was just responding that none of these singles were "big" in the same way others were.
American Eulogy - Both of these songs are pretty good, but I’ll give this the edge Before the Lobotomy - This was pretty easy for me as this is probably my favorite song on the album 21st Century Breakdown - Another tough one! I’ll give this the edge ¿Viva la Gloria? (Little Girl) - Easy pick
Yeah, American Idiot had four singles that I’d say were “bigger” than any of the singles on this album
Me saying "big" was just a matter of semantics. The original complaint was that it's always the singles that win these brackets. I was simply pointing out an instance when this wasn't the case. So regardless of how you look at the song, I think my point is there.
Oh well if that was your original point then that's my bad for replying because it wasn't directed toward me. My complaint has been that popular singles too often tend to knock out better, non-single deep cuts in these brackets.
I suppose it all circles back to preference. With a lot of my favorite bands, there are some deep cuts I absolutely love. At the same time, there are singles that I feel the same about that have special meaning to me.
Final scores: American Eulogy - 9 The Static Age - 7 Before the Lobotomy - 11 Peacemaker- 5 East Jesus Nowhere - 4 21st Century Breakdown - 12 Last Night on Earth - 3 ¿Viva la Gloria? (Little Girl) - 13 Next Round: American Eulogy Vs. Before the Lobotomy 21st Century Breakdown Vs. ¿Viva la Gloria? (Little Girl)
Before the Lobotomy 21CBD Was surprised at choosing Lobotomy, but I just relistened to them and it's definitely better imo. That and Eulogy are both multi-parters but I like the intro and outro of Lobotomy a lot more. Huh. Guess that's one of my favs from the album now.
These are the 2 best songs on the album IMO. Bummed Lobotomy is gonna lose. Before the Lobotomy ¿Viva la Gloria? (Little Girl)
