The numerous votes for the excellent "Bright Young Things" puzzles me. Not just because I think it's far better than tracks like "I'm With Stupid" or "Minimal" or "The Resurrectionist". It puzzles me more than when people vote for my three favourite tracks on Fundamnetal (Casanova, ILTR and Luna Park). Why? Because I've gotten used to the fact that for some odd reason, PSB fans tend to prefer the uptempo tracks over the ballads - even though IMO, the ballads are FAR better than the uptempo tracks on Fundamental.
Yet, Bright Young Things is not a ballad. It's an uptempo track. And a very very good one at that. So why all of the votes? The only explanation I can think of is that most people here heard the demo version of it first and then couldn't get into the studio version. I personally find the studio version far superior to the demo version, but there definitely is a tendency for people to like the version they heard first the best.
