    I'll admit it, I spun the hell out of the Last Kiss / Soldier of Love vinyl. I know it is cool to hate Last Kiss, but before it blew up on the radio it was a helluva cover song. And compare that song now to Just Breath and Future Days, it would have fit in perfectly with 2011 Pearl Jam and the fans would be loving it.

    Strangest Tribe/Drifting. Pretty easy call to pick the one single with two original compositions. No sign of covers/ramblings/live tracks on this one.

    loved the 98 fan club single but to me first is still the best in this case. I absolutely loved ramblings...I remember listening to this when I was 14 and thought it was so damn cool.
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me......

    I would have voted for 2010 (Falling Down, No Jeremy), but these are great. :)

    Had to be Crown of Thorns, I saw this live in Sydney at bdo and I also saw Eddie sing I Can't help Falling in Love both songs very beautiful.
    But I also love Last Kiss and Soldier of Love, and I saw Eddie sing them in Brisbane this year. I've really enjoyed majority of the Christmas songs and I can't wait to hear the B side of Imagine.

    It still is a helluva cover song. IMO, it only got grief because it was played almost every show, just like Just Breathe was from 2009-2012. It seems the first song of every encore was either Just Breathe or The End.

    I had to go with the 2000 single though. The tribute to Roskilde on the front and the two songs from Vegas, one of which was the (I believe) first time MLB was played live in a long time with an absolutely spot-on cover of Elvis.

    Sadly, though, in recent years, you can really hear the strain on Ed's voice during Chloe Dancer...he just can't hit those notes the same.

    This + they are both really good songs.

    Hard to beat an original studio recording from the boys and this has two solid ones on it.
