And we've made it to the sweet meat. All four are solid and worthy. Voting off "Other 99," tho, just because the sound is a bit thinner than I prefer in BAD.

I had to think hard between Other 99 and BtP but went with the former. I really love the original version of BtP that they were playing live before the Joe rewrite so it survives for now.

I'd never really been a huge Other 99 fan. Before we started these polls it wouldn't have ranked in the top half of Tighten Up Vol 88 for me but I was listening to a live version the other day and it just clicked. Still have an fastidious issue with the "if you ain't in the 100 crowd join the 99" line because what else can you do... but at this point all my reasons for voting will be trivial. So, I've voted for Other 99 a few times now but I'm feeling a little sadness this go around. Farewell sweet Prince.

Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead
Pex Lives!

I like Other 99 like maybe 5% less than the other 3. It’s a damn good song but we’re at the cream of the crop.Flex wrote: ↑06 Jun 2019, 11:07amYeah.

Re: ULTIMATE BAD SURVIVAL POLL part 5
Before we bid farewell to Other 99 I'd like to say how much I love Mick's guitar in it. That backwards guitar in the verses is one of his best guitar lines ever, certainly with BAD. Damn that drum machine because I would love this song even more without that clunking in the background.
