Definitely go for Numb before GDC... soft-rock ballad twaddle by Diane Warren, or bitter sweet Tennant/Lowe vignette? No contest.

I can't believe so many dislike 20thC - I rate it very highly and, in fact, it's my most played Fundamental Track in the last six months.

I guess I'll be fighting a losing cause, but if 20thC loses out to Numb, then I will be quite disappointed actually
Yes, I must say I like it too, it's my second favourite song from Fundamental after Minimal (and also in my personal Top25 PSB songs), but I know that majority of community doesn't share my opinion. What is just unfair but that's it.
I read the burial service for Twentieth Century as far back as round one and I can't believe, surprisingly it still fight on!

I would rate GDC several points higher. I don't understand why people hate "Girls".

I Made My Excuses And Left.
Unmelodic and embarrassing.

Now it's hard, and this round is already decided but...

"Numb" gets my vote.

Do you favour it too? :twisted:
It's so strange to see some people has vote for song like "I Made My Excuses and Left"... not my favourite from the last album, but I thought I was in minority here - and now it seems underrated. I mean, it's to early - it's only round five.
And same about "Indefinite Leave to Remain" and "Casanova In Hell". Hmmm...

I'm With Stupid. This has got to go after picking off a few of the weaker B sides.
