    Society by a landslide... But that's not to say Hard Sun is a bad song by any means. It's a very solid cover.

    2 great songs but they lost a bit of luster for me since those are the only 2 ed didn't write off of that album..i think.. :?

    society, but setting forth is much powerful!

    Hard Sun for me, but not by much. Guaranteed is the best song on the albulm, followed closely by Long Nights.

    Agreed...GUARANTEED is the BEST SONG on that album...for me Society is second, but Ed didn't write it although it sounds like something he would.

    Sorry to miss this year's tour, last year's was incredible! It looks as though fans obeyed the no camera(phones) as I havent come across vids

    I love both. But I am going with Society. Society is my favorite of the album. I also love Far Behind and Long Nights. I wish he would play Long Nights.
