Tbh I don’t think I’ve listened to 20 Year aside from the few times I watched the video I recorded. It did make me tear up but.... Constant Static This (for me) will be a tougher album than the previous three. This band has soooooo many good B-Sides

@BlackwingE any chance this round can stay open for a couple days? it’s pretty massive and i need to track down a lot of these songs!

I might have to skip a few of these rounds until things get narrowed down a bit. Probably too many songs to listen to for the first time, but we shall see

I can't believe I went through every one of these songs, but here we are: Constant Static I Want To Believe Forget Everything Heaven Sent Make It Right The Enemy Tip Of The Iceberg Connect the Dots Whiskey Rose Making Plans The Crown Radio Adelaide Snow Sadness Over Again I'm The Fool
I’ve made it nearly all the way through these - I’ll wrap it up tomorrow morning probably. I found the majority of the songs on Apple Music and went to YouTube for the rest, but wasn’t able to find Giving Up On Me. Anyway, this was my first time hearing a lot of these songs. And I also can’t believe that Dig My Own Grave is losing.
Constant Static Golden Forget Everything Heaven Sent Separate Beds Ex-Miss Come Back Bon Jovi Connect the Dots Whiskey Rose Situations If You Don't Love Me Radio Adelaide Vacation Day Giving Up On Me Over Again Anniversary oh man so many of these were really hard. incredibly and obviously biased, but I really do think NFG has the best b-sides. so many of these songs are really really good. some random thoughts: C and P were really hard but I went with both Sticks and Stones b-sides because those were the first NFG b-sides I ever heard on some Best Buy bonus disc and it was really exciting hearing unreleased songs for the first time like that. thank you for including Giving Up On Me! I didn't think it would make the list because there is no MP3 of it anywhere and the last time I looked it wasn't even on Youtube. but it's a great song even if the rip I have of it sounds like mud. the Radiosurgery 7" is probably the 7" I have played the most on my record player because of it. voting against two of the TOTI songs in the first round sucked but if I had to pick a favorite b-side it would be a coin flip between Come Back Bon Jovi / Radio Song and Radio Adelaide. hearing Situations live last summer was awesome and I wish they played more b-sides live. when they were doing that thing a few years ago where they were pulling fans onstage to pick a song I had like 5 or 6 b-sides and some NGCS songs picked out that I was trying to narrow down if I somehow managed to get called up lol.
