    😄 Glad I wasn‘t around on here during the Gigaton era for all that Buckle Up hate. I love that song!

    For the worst one, I‘m going with either Sweet Lew or Evacuation (otherwise love Binaural, always skip that one though).

    Look at all the pre-Ole answers in this old thread, lol.

    I still love foxymop... I wish more people felt that way about it!

    I was going to say, I thought it always has and will be Evacuation since I got on this board in ‘03 😆

    It is!  Without question the only correct answer here is Evacuation!  Aweful song!  Sad should have been on Binaural instead!

    Until my last day I will not understand how Evacuation made the album and Fatal and Sad were left out  :)

    Still, let the records play is the worst song.

    I'm so glad they didn't put Can't Deny Me on Gigaton like they originally were going to....

    Ole was also pretty rough as a one-off.

    I’m so happy I swapped out Speed Of Sound with Eddie’s demo that was sent to us through 10 club. It’s perfect. The band didn’t need to touch it. I love it. 

    Pretty sure Olympic Platinum is meant to be bad. 

    You Are is a great song. 

    I’d have to say Evacuation is my least favorite.

    According to someone (Jeff, I think) in that PJ20 coffee table book, Sad was deemed too commercial to fit on the album. Oh well…

    Was so damn lucky to get Fatal at my first PJ gig. One of my all-time PJ faves!

    That is just weird. Light Years strikes me as more commercial, and they put that one out as a single.

    Ole is easily the worst.
    You Can't Deny Me isn't even in the same class of bad as Ole, but still not good.
    Buckle up and Sleeping by Myself seem equally bad to me
