First Hip song I ever learned to play... I'll have to go with Opiated.
had to be Gift Shop for me...
Opiated for me!
Gift Shop has worn itself thin in my books.
opiated hands down, i am really surprised its losing
hock:
Opiated's in my personal Top 5 and is getting hammered - come on Opiated!!!!!
not a big fan of Gift Shop - sounds like a poor man's Nautical Disaster to me.
Opiated on the other hand is probably my favourite "early" song
Too bad to see a dandy like Opiated go down. I think the only time I saw it live was on the Henhouse tour in Saskatoon, and I remember it sending shivers down my spine.

Ah memories - I loved calling the 800 number to see any new tour dates - messages - songs - pretty cool - and archaic now that I think about it - and to think that was onlt ten years ago - pre-internet.
man this sucks..i'm shocked actually to see how badly it's getting rocked
I voted Opiated.
...I think if it was a common live staple it would easily beat out Gift Shop.

It's too bad considering that's not what this contest is about...

exactly....one of the best Album closers they have, if not THE best, up against one of the (in my opinion) weakest Album openers.

As much as I love Opiated, best album closer for me is Eldorado, no question.
