    I prefer "Stupid Mop" to "Aye Davanita" and "Pry, To".

    So was betterman. He knows what's a million bucks and they are. Wash I mean there dozens.

    Brendan O'Brien pushed them to include Better man. Eddie didn't want to at first from what i recall.
    Really? I didn't know that. Another strike against BoB of that's true. Better Man just seems like such a strange fit on Vitalogy to me. It's not a bad song, but I think the album would be better without it.
    When Brendan was on PJ radio he was talking about it. But Better Man is a great song. You can't leave it out anywhere.

    It's a fine song (i'm not in love with it, but it's good. I think the sing-along has tainted it a little bit for me TBH. Way too much glee for a song about domestic abuse IMO). I just think it's wrong for Vitalogy in particular. Vitalogy is more raw and experimental, and I feel like Better Man seems kind of dropped in there for no reason other than to increase radio play. It was done to hold onto the masses IMO.

    Hey, Foxymophandlemama, that's me ... is a personal favourite.

    I've gotten strange reactions from people for this, but it is what it is. It's one of my favourites.

    Love it. It's art. PJ at its weirdest. They should take more chances like this nowadays

    Totally agree. They seem to have lost that experimental spark.
