21st, because Bravado is by far the track I like the least of the bunch.

 

Armor and Sword gets the only A, but Driven comes close.

Armor & Sword is the king tack here but I still went 90's for the Bravado/Driven combo. Stick It Out should probably lose it for the group though.

 

3 A's.

[treeduck]

Easy win for the 21st Century.

[Texas King]

90's here.

Bravado.

BTW Ceiling Unlimited is a goddamn embarrassing song.

I wouldn't go that far with CU but I picked the 90s too...Bravado and Driven being my best 2 here and my only ones getting the A and A- grades respectively

[Stormtron]

21st century and none.

 

Driven, BU2B, Armor and Sword - B

Bravado, Ceiling Unlimited - C

Stick It Out - D

Bravado is my least favourite song out of all of these so I went with the 21st century here. To be fair I really like all of these songs and it is a rare example of where I prefer a Vapor Trails and/or a Clockwork Angels song over a Snakes & Arrows track in the same position on the album.

1990s and the first three are all grade A to me. The last three are about a C. Edited April 1, 2017 by EagleMoon

I have to go with the 21st Century tracks here, even though "Stick It Out" is awesome, in my opinion. "Armor and Sword" is quite possibly my favorite on Snakes & Arrows and I love "BU2B" and "Ceiling Unlimited".

And I gave every song besides "Bravado" an A- or better. "Bravado" is about a B for me.

[Texas King]

None of them is not even close to perfect.

What a mess!! I was tempted not to vote in the first half of the poll but finally did and went with the 90's.

 

A & S is the best song of the entire batch and gets an A-. Bravado is also very good and also gets an A-. Driven, while it is very good, does not get an A-. Perhaps a B or B+. The other 3 song are not good. Not at all. I will leave it at that.

 

So, the question for me was, could A & S, on its own, overcome Bravado & Driven? What of the dogs its pared with, could they overcome Stick It Out and somehow come to the aid of A & S? The answer obviously is no. I am stuck voting for the 90's.

21rst Century Trio.

 

 

I'll give an A+ to Armor And Sword, Driven and Ceiling Unlimited. :rush:

[Mystic Slipperman]

90s again -

 

Bravado/Driven/Armor and Sword

[Entre_Perpetuo]

BU2B takes the cake. Driven is also good but not amazing. Bravado is. A load of meh, Stick It Out is a solid B or B+, and the two other 2000s tracks are as good as Stick It Out and Driven.

 

Mainly Bravado vs. BU2B = BU2B
