Match-up #47 - Ahead By A Century Vs. Emporer Penguin
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.
*There is still 1 hour remaining to vote for match-up #46.
Easiest choice for me to make...and their women are swimming from half an ocean away.... 8)
Oh man, emperor penguin has grown so much on me lately. This is acutally going to be a tough vote for me.
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.
i've really got into emperor penguin just recently and i love, can;t get enough of it. but i can't vote against ABAC.... not yet anyways.
had to be ABAC for me... Penguin is still growing on me and in a years time, who knows.>. I may have voted differently!
I love the imagery on ABAC
