whiskeybottle for me.

The sound of resignation in his voice when he repeats the 'Not for ever, Just for now' line. I believed he was a man beaten.

I agree with Doug, that 1963 line is killer. But since everyone is going for the obvious, I vote Wont Forget. That is an amazing song. I can't believe it didn't make it on an original issue.

This line alone is worth the price of admission. It captures everything that is important to me. How the man could describe so much with so little is beyond my feeble brain. Artistry like that deserves the awards and the money. It's the moment that matters and when you realize that that moment is there, life could not be any better. You have to forget all of the bullshit and live. Thank you, Jay Farrar.
Man, you are exactly right, Doug...I think that brick to the head may have actually helped you!!!!

:D

"way down watson," though i admit that "windfall" may be more "important" in a canonical sense.

I voted Whiskey Bottle, which is my favorite UT song after "Still Be Around." Windfall is one of the best songs ever...count me among those people who voted for the second favorite because the leader is so far in front of everything else.

I would not be true to myself if I chose anything but Windfall. However, if Jay ever sought a request from the crowd and it was between Windfall and Whiskey Bottle I would opt for Whiskey just to experience that moment.

You all are taking care of Windfall for me, which probably does deserve the win. I know, if I think that, then I should vote for it, but screw logic. I'm taking the opportunity to vote for one of my other choices. So: Way Down Watson or Wipe The Clock? Hmm....both underrated genius picks, left for the end of great albums. I can't decide. I believe I shall flip a coin.
That's what I had to do with the V's.
