    But which is better, Alligator Pie or LITHOG?

    I would take the latter.

    one of my least favorite songs on the new album...it just seems like a mess. The little chorus is nice though.

    I'm having trouble thinking of one song off the Big 3 that is not better than Alligator Pie.

    It's a raucous fun piece of garbage of a song...which is what it's supposed to be.

    the first time i heard it i was kinda thinking, wtf? but now i love it. i feel like it's what dave was trying to pull off with songs like bayou and cornbread, only he actually put some effort into it this time.

    Ok even if Stay is not better this thread says "most". That is absurd.

    Still absurd. What is your definition of most? I'm guessing it would mean more than 10 percent of the songs on the Big 3. I guess this still falls under opinion. So whatever, but C'mon. I'll give you maybe Stay and Let You Down. After that its hard to find another song on these albums that Alligator Pie "competes" with.

    I could see LITHOG in one of the big 3, easily

    they certainly aren't anything earth-shattering, but the song is certainly better lyrically than bayou or cornbread. His vocal delivery may make it seem like a bunch of jibberish, but there's actually a few intereting lyrics IMO.

    That's not really saying much, I've heard a dying kitten that sounded better lyrically than both of those songs.

    Yeah that info really does not apply to this thread at all. So it beats out Cornbread and Bayou...ok. They are not exactly Big 3 material.
