What song would you choose?

Completely hypothetical scenario 😉😝: middle of the show; suddenly Ed singles you out and ask you to choose the next song. And suppose he promises the band would play it no matter what it is you go for.

Two questions: 
What song would you choose? Must be just ONE. Don't think too much. Go with your gut.

What do you think would be the wrong choice for whatever reason?

    Light Years, MFC, or Love Boat Captain, because I'm chasing all three and mid-show they might play them. 

    Come Then Goes, Wash, Hard to Imagine, Undone all would be be great but they probably aren't playing them, so avoid.

    That would be such a flex! 
    I wonder if they remember how to play this one!
  • JeBurkhardtJeBurkhardt Posts: 5,221
    I would ask for my favorite PJ song Dissident. But MFC and Gone would be contenders as well.

    1-Rival. 

    2-Wrong choice would be anything wanted for sentimental reasons that gets played frequently anyways.

    Gun to my head, I would probably say In My Tree, as it's my favorite song and the first that would come to mind, but if I had a second to think about it, I would request No Way above all others... unfortunately, it would probably get a similar response to when @GlowGirl requested Undone in 2023.  :D 

    Around the Bend is another one I'm 'chasing' (I'm not technically chasing any songs, but I do have a few white whales that would be nice to hear... got one this year in Green Disease, so never say never!!).

    I don't think any of these songs are outside the realm of possibilities. You never know.

    Never say never, but safe to say No Way’s a thing of the past.

    Once the next tour is announce, be persistent. Request request request. Apparently, it often works.

    Probably Sad because the last time they played it was for my dedication to my Dad and I was half in a surreal daze. It hasn't been played since and id love to be there when it is
  • pjhawkspjhawks Posts: 12,858
    I honestly would totally choke and blurt out a regular in the rotation most likely.  Too much pressure lol.   I would probably want to say Sad, Down or Gone.

    WMA - full song - i think even the causal fans would like it as most of them own the first three albums

    wrong choice - anything obscure from Binaural through Gigaton - the causal fans would head to the bathroom or talk throughout the song.
