    I don't like Eddie's Imagine.

    It is one of the worst covers of that song that I've heard. I mean, it's not horrible, but compared to other amazing covers (Chris Cornell and A Perfect Circle come to mind) it's below average. But the sentiment behind it and the timing and purpose of it prop it up a bit - enough so that I am perfectly fine with it being the holiday single. It's basically just Eddie trying to make a point, so that's okay.

    You genuinely like APC's version of imagine? I've never been able to get through the whole thing it bugs me so much.

    To the list, with the exception of Ten, Vs, and Riot Act, I don't like the closing songs on PJ records. And Ole is unlistenable, agreed! It's unfortunate that song happened.

    Not true with YL, I mean I still stay because who the hell leaves a PJ concert early unless you don't have a choice but that is when I take pics of the band, check my email, text my sister to tell her they really have to stop playing this horrible song and just do my best to tune it out. I really hate it!
    Anything you lose from being honest
    You never really had to begin with.


    Sometimes it's not the song that makes you emotional it's the people and things that come to your mind when you hear it.

    Yeah, i really like APC's cover because it's so different. I really don't see the point of cover songs unless it's so beautiful it is at least as good as the original or, preferably, better, or it's so different that it feels like almost a different song altogether (APC's version). Otherwise, I consider covers more like karaoke. And EV's Imagine falls under that category for me.

    Lol.
    I don't hate it, but I really really wish they'd retire it. I think just about everyone is at least bored of it as a closer.

    Wayne Gretzky remembered some inspiring advice every time he stepped on the ice. His father told him "Son, every game you play there is at least one person in the audience that has been waiting for this moment to see you play for their first time. Give them your show that they came for."

    Well it's good advice for Gretzky, because that one person wants the exact same thing that every other fan there wants. Not so when it comes to YLB.

    Yes, beautiful sentiment. But I can't really listen to the song. Didn't even go for the free download.

    BTW, I love YLB. :)

    nope. when betterman started in winnipeg 05 i threw my hands in the air and shook my head. no groovin was had by me on that one.

    That was then lets see you at your next show in 2016 ...
    no wonder they got rid of Seniority Ed must of seen you throwing your arms up in the air in disgust ....lol
    haha, I wasn't close enough to the stage. I wasn't in tenclub before that show.

    and no, if it was the same next time....same thing. I'll dislike it. it's really not a terrible thing to not like a few songs of your favourite band. it's not like it ruined the show for me. I'm not one of those even flow snobs. LOL

    Ugh. Ole. That's my most hated PJ song of all time.... but i don't think many people like it.
    Whatchoo going to say? OLE!
    SMH.

    I was actually excited when they played it in 2011. is the chorus a bit weird for a pj song? maybe, but I thought it was great live.

    actually, it's an excellent point. me? 5 pj shows. ZERO YLB. I'd love to hear it at least once.

    I like YLB. I think it's not the song itself, it's just the predictability factor. The unpredictability of PJ's setlists is a huge factor, but their closers are the exception. Just a few closers used over and over and over, always in the same spot in the show, which is such a contrast to the rest of each show.... variety is the spice of life. :)

    But.... in Milwaukee we got Baba as the 5th song!

    I was momentarily worried that we were getting a really short show, but things just kept getting better from there :relieved:
