I'm a Silver Jet fan, but I had to go with ATHM, as you guys've said, the Studio version has a wonderful dark quality to it.
I like Silver Jet. A bunch. And if I got to choose between SJ and ATHM to be on a setlist of a show I was seeing today, I'd choose SJ because I've seen enough of ATHM to last a lifetime.
But no way would I ever say SJ is a better song than ATHM.
