Which 2 tracks would you rather have on the next album?

Just wondering. You have to take them both.

    Oh god. Oh god.

    I guess you could say everyone album needs a filler song...It really depends on what surrounds the two songs...

    Honestly, I think I'll take the Shotgun.

    I desperately want a studio production of Shotgun, even if I have to put up with Can't Stop.

    Just imagine what you're giving up to have Shotgun, though.

    Shotgun Can't Stop.

    Shotgun > probably > #27

    Cornbread is not very much better than Can't Stop.

    Brutal fucking poll. I went with #27 and Cornbread, but as soon as I clicked it I doubted my decision. I really don't know.

    Well, we need to know what surrounds the two songs. Same songs excluding what you vote against?

    Still taking Shotgun I think.

    Good thing it probably won't work out like this poll makes it. Thank goodness.

    I don't like Shotgun or Can't Stop. And I do like #27 and Cornbread.

    I can put up with Can't Stop. If you had just put Shotgun up against #27 and Cornbread, I would still pick Shotgun. Who knows though, maybe they'll rework the lyrics to Can't Stop.

    Shotgun/Can't Stop, fairly easily. Honestly, Can't Stop can be done right in the studio. It has that smoking room cool to it that, if it gets a lyrical revamp, can be done really well. And it doesn't really need too much more. Dave can just play bass chords, since Fonz is playing lead. Butch can hold down the back end with a Wurlitzer-esque groove. Add a horn section, a bridge, and bam: you have a passable, B- studio song.

    If only Batson was actually a problem. But he wasn't. Maybe you could case of him being an enabler, but even then, he really wasn't. It was all DMBs lack of motivation.

    But hey, if you feel the need to give them a crutch, go for it.

    Probably #27 and Cornbread, just out of my hatred for CS.

    I'll deal with Can't Stop being on there due to the fact that Shotgun is just too good to pass up.

    I went with Shotgun and Can't Stop....despite my hatred for Can't Stop but I could actually see the song evolving into a decent song in the studio.

    For me, personally? IIHIA, OOMH. I can generally enjoy both, but would never clamor for either.

    And you have to know, unless I have an absolute hate for a song, my rankings don't really go lower than C. So I guess my B- is another person's C-. But whatever.

    Easily Shotgun and Can't Stop. #27 is lame and boring, and Cornbread just kinda sucks...

    Shotgun is very overrated, but still a very good song. Can't Stop isn't great but I can tolerate it. As Brendan said, I can see this making a passable studio song.

    Cornbread and #27.

    Cornbread is a solid and enjoyable song, and #27 is very worthy of a spot on the album.

    As much as the music is bound to sound great on Shotgun, I don't have much faith in Dave writing great lyrics for this song. When he does sit down and write them, he really needs to let go of the vocal melody/screaming that he always stuck to during the tour.

    Can't Stop is a lost cause. That song is the more retarded brother of Smooth Rider.

    #27 and Cornbread. I think that Shotgun could be just as awesome if it becomes a song like granny, where they work on it but decide to leave it off the album. But then again, it would be awesome if Shotgun was on the album...

    #27 is much better than Cornbread both musically and lyrically, maybe not as much fun but still.
