Match-up #15 - At The Hundredth Meridian Vs. Nautical Disaster
I ask you to listen to the two songs in the match-up Back to Back, and consider the lyrics of the song. Feel free to post an unbiased analysis of both songs in this thread, but please refrain from cheerleading or making predictions for your favourites.
hardest match-up yet...any way that we can do a re-do on this match-up?? not really fair for a first rounder...

I agree that this could have potentially been the match-up in the final round, but remember it is the luck of the draw, and parody could make this event and annual occurence...
i'm officially spoiling my ballot
Yep..toughest choice yet. Had to go with my gut feeling on this one...
definatly one of the hardest yet but its only fair i give my vote to nautical because anytime we compose 'lists' in the forum i always end up putting nautical as my number one song.
Way too tough. Meridian only truly shines when it's played live...and yet I've never found Nautical t'match it's studio intensity when it's played live...I'm sleeping on this one...
100th is great live...especially with all the extended jams.
But Nautical is one of my all-time favourite studio songs; since I've been basing a lot of my choices on live versions up to now, I'm gonna go with a studio favourite this time.
This is crap. Number 1 seeds shouldn't see eachother until the end.
(Edit) Wow. Then I voted. I did not think it would be that lopsided.
Yes, these are two top dogs, but the randomness could keep this going every year...if we "ranked songs" and did this, the vote would be less exciting with NOIS, BAHD, etc on the very top to start it off.
I love this...and I already have my dark horse prediction for a winner...and if it does I will 'step to the mic' and announce myself correct.
it was easy for me, but i couldn't believe that nautical would be having such a huge lead....and i disagree with other comments about nautical not living up to it's studio version on stage...the blistering version from fort york, or the london england show are both amazing, and nautical is always one of the first songs i check for on any setlist....
Toughest one so far omg, this should have been in round 3
Easiest one so far for me.
I looked at the ballot and I thought it was an easy hard choice if that makes sense, which only kinda makes sense to me :?
My first hip album was Fully Completely and Hundredth was the first song that really grabbed me, at the same time live vs. the studio recording is completely different. I just listened to the studio version for the first time in a long time and just noticed all the little things done live that aren't there and make the song seem less exciting than most live performances of it. Nautical remains strong in the studio version though. Nostalgia says hundredth, but after a quick listen nautical is the better song only considering studio versions.
