Easy one. Penguin is one of The Hip's hidden gems.

My favorite tune of all time is century, it will be tough to watch it fall to penquin. That said - a very worthy opponent.

This was the toughest one for me yet! I voted for Penguin thinking my vote wouldn't matter because I'd be so far in the minority! I was shocked to see it in the lead. I do predict that the same people that bring through all the classics from round to round will bring ABAC back into the lead though. And I'm almost cheering for it. Both songs are too good!

I think more of the die-hards like Penguin, but I do believe that Century probably has more popularity overall. I voted Penguin because I honestly think its a better song, but I hope Century puts up a good fight.

Agreed. Penguin is a relative unknown beyond die-hards, and it's exclusion from Yer Favourites speaks to that. For my money though, it is easily one of the best songs they've ever written. An easy choice for me, but it will be interesting to see how this plays out, as ABAC is a heavyweight.
