Best Studio Track of These Four
Of these four, which one do you consider to be the best studio track?

They have always struck me as some of the band's best studio work.

I went with Tripping Billies

    I've yet to hear anything as good as The Stone.

    That said I think The Dreaming Tree is their best song.

    All are great but Dreaming Tree is just on another level. That said, I think Spoon is their best studio track.

    Excellent choices but I can't think of many studio tracks of any band I enjoy more than The Stone.

    DT and Stone are basically tied for me, but I give the edge to Dreaming Tree. Live, the stone each and every time. I think they're in the top 3 studio songs (with Spoon).

    Dreaming Tree is perfect, The Stone is perfect. But I said Dreaming Tree because I felt like it. Odd that Billies and DIDO are included in this poll.

    For studio track, I'd say The Stone. Live I'd say Tripping Billies.

    Interesting

    What would you have included instead of the two?

    Absolutely The Stone. Not only do I think it's their best song, it also is their best studio cut.

    I can't believe the band has never gotten someone like Yo-Yo Ma to guest on it with them.

    If we're going with studio tracks from just Crash, I'd easily put Proudest Monkey, #41, Say Goodbye, and Crash Into Me above those two.

    If we want to open it up to other albums, I'm gonna need a bigger post.

    Really? It's one of the best things they've ever done studio, in my opinion. That outro is fantastic

    Say Goodbye is an interesting choice

    I can only think of two, Crush and The Dreaming Tree...but that's it. The Stone is pretty much a perfect song.

    Yeah, I change my vote. The more I think about it, and listen to the two, the more I realize it just doesn't get better than Dreaming Tree. It's just perfect in every way.
