Why wouldn't it?

Music is very (very, very) subjective, which makes a tournament like this fun overall, but can present frustrating moments, like when subjectively "good" songs lose over subjectively "lesser" songs. You may think LC deserves the top spot. I wanted LJ to take it all. Now I have to settle for, in my opinion, a lesser song to be (again, subjectively) the best. What's left in the final four? LC, STD, IA, and whatever's winner from tomorrow's matchup. I'm hoping it's RTTW so this isn't just the "Best of TC" tournament.

I can't explain it to you other than the feeling I get when I listen to these songs. Is LC a good song? Subjectively, yes. Am I tired of it? Yes. Did it put Live on the map? Absolutely.

To Voodoo Lady's point from earlier, LC is the song where I get 5 minutes to run to the bathroom, get a drink and check out the merch booth.

Is W,D a good song? Yes. Am I tired of it? Nope. Not in 20+ years. Best ending song they've got by far. I also love the messaging of the song, the entire melody is unique and all the parts are played in perfect harmony, and the end makes me want to jump around and break stuff. I leave Live shows far happier overall when this song is played at the end.

No one is wrong in their answer, so LC could very well take it all. Will that bum me out? Absolutely. To me, out of Live's large catalog of songs, LC isn't the best one by far, or even in my Top 10. To someone else, it could be their number one.
