I think Why I Am, while decent, will play into the incorrect stereotype that the band is musically bland. Same with You & Me. Maybe whoever is picking the song is bland. I don't expect to hear Seven or Squirm on the radio, but certainly My Baby Blue is better than You & Me. LITHOG and Dive In could certainly go on the radio. Spaceman could as well, but it's on the same level as Why I Am.
No way they would pick Baby Blue as a single. It may be better, but just would not translate as a good single at all. You and Me could become Where are You Going-ish as a single. I think Why I Am is a great single choice, but I think SMLAM should without a question be one as well.
