This poll has probably already been done, but now is a good time to do it again. I choose Bumblebee.

This has been done.

I chose Bumblebee also, but The Beginning will win out (again) for some strange reason.

Because it is an amazing song. I have murderous feelings for people who don't think it is the best. The fact that they think so distracts me when I listen to the EP.

I'd go with Walk You Home.

I could have chosen any, really.

I agree completely

Choose life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television. Choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers... choose DIY and wondering who the fuck you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mindnumbing, spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pishing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked-up brats you spawned to replace yourself. Choose your future. Choose Life ...

I went with The Beginning, followed by Walk You Home. SWSA is an accessory song, so I can't possibly vote it #1. I do really like it when it precedes a really kick ass song like Me & The Skirts.

It doesn't really bother me that Buffalo Head is gone. It had a good run. Plus, they had to make room for the newer songs. Buffalo Head was the first song that I really liked when I saw them for the first time. But, after a while, I wanted to hear other songs more.

I yelled for it at the last Exit/In show, and they played it. But it was the Fictitious Records showcase.

I have an extremely hard time choosing between "Walk You Home" and "The Beginning", but "Walk You Home" seems to hold a more special place in my heart than "The Beginning"....so, I went with "Walk You Home", which is what I went with last time.

I went with Bumblebee last time, but I've just been into their more rocking stuff lately. It was a close call between The Beginning and Walk You Home, but I went with the latter.

These songs aren't overrated. Just "rated."

My vote is for 2x2 although Walk You Home comes in a close second.

I'm not so much of a fan of the Fierce Panda release. Stark White Stork is an odd fit for the ending track. It cuts off too abruptly.

Teenage angst has paid off well
