It offends me that Morning Moon has 7 votes already. You people are out of you minds.
These are my top 3 on this album, so nice to see them make it through.
After reading the last few threads, I say with trepidation that I'm a big fan of Suite and it's my #1 here. Had to reluctantly vote Recluse.
This is impossibly difficult. I'm holding off on voting until I do an uninterrupted spin of each track.

For a song that didn't receive much radio play, isn't on Yer Favourites, didn't get a video, wasn't really a tour staple, and wouldn't make most people's top 20 list of Hip songs, you should be pretty happy it made it to the top three. It's a good song, but I like Recluse a lot more.
Morning Moon and Depression Suite aren't just my two favourites on this album, they're also two of my all-time favourite Hip songs. Definitely a big fan of Recluse too (and this album in general), but for my money you can't beat those two tracks.
That Depression Suite is in the lead right now is a travesty. The third movement in that song is glorious.
As I feared, this is much closer than it should be: two brilliant cuts up against a tiresome, insufficiently-varied Bob Rock exercise in bloat, and yet the latter is only losing, so far, by a thin margin. Just have to hope that the cream floats to the top.

You're a weirdo and should alter your personal tastes to match mine and others'.
I can't believe you jerks are getting rid of The Depression Suite.
Recluse was my favourite song from this album at the time of release. Morning Moon, I thought it was alright song but didn't do much for me. Over the years, Morning Moon grew on me to be my favourite song on the album.

Since when does radio play determine a song's quality? Some of the best Hip songs of all time never made it to radio.
Yer Favorites came out 4 years before Morning Moon, hence the song's absence from the album.
It does have a video (skip to 7:29)

And it was a live staple, at least during the '09 tour anyway.
I agree on Recluse though. Brilliant song!
I love The Depression Suite (though, I should really say, I adore the first movement).
But Morning Moon and The Last Recluse are the jewels of this album.

You're missing my point. Regardless of your opinion of the song, it isn't as well known as others, so the fact that it made it to the top three is pretty good.

Wow. I'm surprised you even bothered replying to my post with this error. Never let facts get in the way of a good argument I guess :oops:

Yeah, I forgot it was in there. Again...terrible post of mine.

Well you can't really judge that based on the album tour...if you did then all the songs would be "live staples".
My overall point was not that Morning Moon is a bad song, it was that Morning Moon making it to the top three on an album of unpopular songs was pretty good.
The DS is a masterpiece despite Rock's over constructions. Its contenders are also gems.
