    The album. 5 slices of bacon is only enjoyable for a single short span of time while you eat them, maybe a bit before and after (anticipation, then satisfaction). VS came out how many years ago?

    Unless we're talking think cut bacon. Then I'd have to reevaluate my position.

    WOW...Really good question !!! Unfortunately, I don't think I can answer it. It just really is to close to choose. I love them both. And by the way, did you know that bacon is a vegetable ?

    This is a very tough question.
    Bacon tastes like the sound of Backspacer.

    So I would have to choose VS.

    Vs. (and every other great album ever) beats any kind of food.

    It's actually a trick question since 4 slices of bacon is the optimal number of bacon slices.

    I'd take Daughter over bacon, and I love bacon.

    Another habit like an unwanted friend

    Then you get to save one for later, or feed it to the dog, who will love you forever.

    Definitely vs, bacon is amazing but once your 4 slices are gone, they're gone.
    Vs on the other hand will last forever

    If the 5 slices of bacon were dipped in milk chocolate this would be a close tie. :p

    Is the bacon hickory smoked, applewood, thick sliced, or regular? Just not enough info to vote now.

    And as much as I love bacon, I agree and take Vs. I would rather take forever. =)

    VS. could be the greatest album ever released by any band.
    Including The Beatles and Zeppelin

    That being said.

    I will take the bacon every time.
    Take me piece by piece.....
    Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....

    Vs.

    I had bacon for the first time in forever this morning, I've been trying to eat clean the last few months, and I just don;t normally eat bacon that much anyway...but it killed my stomach and I was pretty pissed at the bacon after that. Love the smell, but I'm done with that filthy animal.

    If you're listening Blood while eating a lettuce and tomato sandwich, you have a brand new type of BLT...

    I prefer Animal over bacon. Vs

    VS,no question,it's healthier and it always makes you happy.Bacon, when not cooked properly, can be a health risk and the taste is ...well not favorable.
