Song Vs Song II

Where did you come up with 18 years? The song is already 20 years old. Is there something in particular about it turning 38 that will make it forgotten?

Edit: Nevermind. Now I see where the nuraber came from. Still, it's worth noting that the Ministry song has been around longer than Miles has been dead.
 
I will play both and give each a fair chance (I doubt I've heard the Miles track, and know the Ministry one very well). I just want to say that the live version of Ministry's on In Case you Didn't Feel Like Showing Up is amazing, I enjoy it more than the studio version. And saying that makes me realize I shouldn't have such an aversion to live albums. Sometimes there are gems.
 
I think it's an invalid argument if Jazz is kept up on it's pedestal which then automatically negates anything put up against it. One track may be more musically accomplished and complex than the other but again it's all about preference. Unfortunately I really like both. I make the polls and give myself a headache choosing a track :laughing:
 
Damn this one is hard. I love the Miles song but anyone who knows where I'm coming from, as I'm sure Jackhammer does, knows I have to go with the Ministry song.

The next questions is how about the Anti-Nowhere League song "So What" (also covered by Metallica)? How does that stand up against the others?
 
I would just like to say that this is way too taxing of a decision to make this early in the morning. My brain hurts. Definitely not as cut and dry as the last one.

At first I wanted to pick Davis without even listening to them because I figured it would be no contest. But now that I
 
Ministry still wins, hanRAB down. I can't believe I even said I would give each a fair chance in my last post. I mean I did, I just played the Miles song and am now playing the Ministry song. But like Janszoon, anyone who knows me knows me and where I'm coming from knows that I'm gonna go with Ministry. This is a bloody anthem of industrial rock, a classic of my youth...and from the album that got me into industrial and industrial rock to begin with. I feel like screaming right now as I play this, so many classic lines in this song, and the live one I mentioned before is even more loaded.

I ONLY KILL...TO KNOW I'M ALIVE!!!

I did enjoy the Miles Davis song but it's not my thing, I've yet to get into jazz.
 
The difference between the two is that Al Jourgensen, ministry, and that song will be forgotten in 18 years (which is how long Miles has been dead), but Miles Davis and So What are still undeniable classics 50 years after the release of Kind of Blue Unarguably one of the greatest albums ever produced.
