By popular request, here it is. Get voting!

i went with down in a hole because it is a cover. i like it but i usually find myself skipping over it.

[scuba.steve]

Down in a hole is an amazing cover. He puts so much effort and soul into it. he makes it a country/rock ballad and it's simply amazing...

...I would love to hear it live. I wonder if he has any air in his lungs after he sings it, cause he pours his heart into it.

I went with follow the lights, it really doesn't go anywhere if you listen to it like his other songs. there really isn't the major parts of a song in it, it just has that one way path to it. just doesn't feel like it progresses.

[foggy]

Follow The Lights for me.

[hildegoat]

FTL.

[ewok.online]

Dear John.
No Norah, No JCN, No dice.

[Starlite]

We're already up to the EP! :eek:

[Starlite]

Easy choice though - Follow The Lights.

[SweetBlackMagic]

"Follow The Lights"....perhaps one of his worst songs ever.

[burgerqueen]

Follow The Lights.

[SkortBrun]

"If I Am A Stranger." This version does nothing for me.

[raisemyglass]

"If I Am A Stranger." This version does nothing for me.

I actually like this version over the Cold Roses version. Same goes for Dear John as well.

[mango]

I actually like this version over the Cold Roses version.

The Now That You're Gone 7" version destroys both.

[FrigidRoses]

Can I vote for all of them? :D

I guess Follow The Lights...

[LaCienegaSmile]

The Now That You're Gone 7" version destroys both.

the 7" version is killer man!! I have no idea why he used the one on Cold Roses over it

Cindy Cashdollar's pedal steel solo does it to me every time I hear the CR version.
And the recording is so much better.

yeah the recording is much better, but I thought maybe that had to do with a bad vinyl transfer? No? But I think the 7" has much more feeling.

I've never come across an actual copy of the 7" for comparison. So, no idea.
Though I would love to get one someday. :upyours
But I'm about even on which version I like more. Depends on the day/my mood.

[jumpshipmusic]

"This Is It" for me. See I am almost alone on that front.

I really dig the RNR "This Is It." I need rock with my "This Is It."

[Faded Rose]

Follow The Lights - it was playing in Starbucks yesterday which confirmed it would be the right decision for me to vote for it first. I don't dislike it. In fact I like this EP better than ET. I like this version of Stranger.

That one's next on my list.
And then Stranger.

:upyours

I just don't think some of the remakes are that great. "Stranger" to me doesn't go anywhere. It's really missing that snare drum feel. It doesn't drive enough for me.

[Libertine4Life]

Down In A Hole

[maleneee]

Dear John

[strawberrywine]

Follow The Lights

[blueone]

Down In A Hole. I've not heard the original but I really don't like RA's version.

[sbors]

Follow the lights...though this vote seems so pointless.

[littleamen]

I'm not voting because I haven't listened to this one. I heard this is pretty mediocre, so I decided to spend the dough on other tunes I knew would be good. Good move? Opinions?

[Sydneyfan]

I'm not voting for the same reason. I heard a couple of the tunes when they were streamed on his MySpace and they didn't do anything for me.

[strawberrywine]

Good move? Opinions?

Blue Hotel and Down in a Hole are good, rest are very dull and boring. You were right to save your money.

[blueone]

Good move? Opinions?

Personally I prefer Follow The Lights to Easy Tiger. Simply because there's more listenable songs on FTL.

[hildegoat]

I thought you were gonna say because there's less songs in general.

[blueone]

That too. Although the British version has bloody 'Everybody Knows' on it too. PUKE

[littleamen]

I thought you were gonna say because there's less songs in general.

:lol

that's the other reason I didn't buy it. I was so underwhelmed by ET and just didn't care to hear anything else in the same vain.

[Starlite]

It's track one, though, so it's easy to skip it ;)


(It's not that bad, really. Besides, it's the EP title track.)

[Sydneyfan]

Follow the Lights is out in a landslide.
