only because every song is so good that its so hard to pick a favorite!

mine is Tree Tops becuase I was never a young girl (and the carnival noises.) but I still like it very much indeed yup yup.

This is a cruel thread... Confused Very Happy However, if I absolutely have to pick, I suppose I'd go with "Telescope Eyes." I guess I just don't care for a few of the lyrical lines ("you freak," "leave me alone," etc.).

I'd have to say Telescope Eyes... for a two-part reason.

1. I heard Telescope Eyes for the first time almost two years ago (Dec. 31, 2001). It's getting kinda old.

2. I don't like the new version.

What a rough thread though... sheesh Rolling Eyes

I have no idea what your talking about. Tree Tops rocks. I don't know if i'm right but the chorus reminds me a lot of Weezer. And Stacy's melodies with, what you call, the circus noises. Those are great too.

I too am not a young girl, but neither is Chris Martin of Coldplay and he sang this song during sound checks. Enough said.

I like telescope eyes too (more the original version). It's one of my favorites but it is still fairly new to me.

I can't decide if i have a "least" favorite song. I like all their songs for different reasons. I have a lot of mixed feelings about this thread. Argh...all this negative energy. I'm gonna go listen to Tree Tops and Telescope Eyes so i can relax.

Best

I can't connect with the lyrics, but the melody/vocals are so good that it doesn't matter much.

That little carnival break in Tree Tops is super. Makes the song.

I also agree. Without that inventive little break, the chorus would lack its great impact and intensity.

If I had to pick, I'd probably go with Pretender. But I still like it.

i'm gonna have to say that i used to not be so much a fan of laughing city...on the old EP, it just sounded lifeless...but then the laughing city EP came along, and it grew on me.

least favorite..gosh, i'd have to say dream for me...i dunno. it's got great elements. but i just dont like it.
