Match-up #44 - Pigeon Camera Vs. Emperor Penguin
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.

I know everyone here loves Emperor Penguin, and I think it's an outstanding song, but Pigeon Camera is one of my favorite Hip songs. I love the guitar work - some of the best in their entire catalog. Both Paul and Rob play so smoothly and the main riff is tasteful and just very cool. Rob's solos are some of his best, too.
The Pigeon gets my vote.

I've always thought that Emperor Penguin was their strongest song...

I don't even think it's the strongest song on Phantom Power. Not that I don't like it or anything - I think it's a great song, but I don't understand the power it wields here.[/quote]
Took the words right out of my mouth.

Pigeon Camera is just an amazing song in general. Not a huge fan of Emperor Penguin, but I absolutely love Pigeon Camera. Got some good lyrics, cool story and a wonderful riff to go with it.

Just do whatever you think is right, Ben.
Remember, God will 1000 puppies for every vote for Pigeon Camera.
Would you like to be held responsible for the needless slaughter of 1000 puppies?
Also, if you vote for Pigeon Camera on your birthday, God will kill 1000 more puppies and make sure random shit happens to you to prevent you from getting to any more Hip shows ever.
So at least you're getting to some more Hip shows in you're li----
Fuck. Nevermind buddy. Yer gonna be screwed.
All this could be prevented by a vote for Emperor Penguin.
Hmmm.
