If this poll is any indication, something like Broadway is going to walk away with the title.

Re: ROUND 5 - Sandinista! - Side One
Mag 7 is cool and important and all, but kind of a chore to listen to. It's that bass line for over five minutes and periodically they throw in that little intro. It's really repetitive.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

I think both songs could use a judicious 20-30 seconds of editing. Use Mag 7 as my alarm clock wakeup song, tho. Good way to start the day.

Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead

Hey, if you didn't want SAE to win this you should have helped protect the actual best song on side one - Junco Partner.

Is that the 4 minute one on Story of? The one thing that it lacks is that horrid/awesome moment of Joe yelling MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGNIFICENT that the full version has.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.
