Taxi Lost in Nostalgia I chose Lost in Nostalgia only because I think it has such an important part on the record as it transitions towards a more mellow and moody back half. Do You Remember is a great song but I think it is less important in the grand scheme.
I can't even really say why, it just grates on me. I'm no stranger to having unpopular opinions though.
Taxi Lost in Nostalgia I was gonna pick Do you Remember only because it's a full length song but that didn't seem fair. I would've had it above MOST other songs but I can't put it about LIN
That second matchup is super close for me, as I expect most of this record to be. Still cannot unhear Cast No Shadow by Oasis every time IOWTTY comes on. It’s cool to pay homage to things you enjoy but that song definitely plays with the boundaries of that term, haha. Still a great tune though.
I Only Wanna Talk to You Do You Remember? (The Other Half of 23) Taxi is great but Only Wanna Talk is one of my favorites on the album. I think DYR? is so underrated.
Now to the good stuff! Taxi Lost In Nostalgia (best interlude on the record and I love it) This bracket will be brutal as all of LLL is dope.
