"Under the Bridge" is such a beautiful song. Instantly transposes me back to the early '90s.

"Under the Bridge" is such a beautiful song. Instantly transposes me back to the early '90s.

Yes...but I feel the same about the Sound Garden tune. This will take some more thought on my part.

After several listens I find that my vote turns on simple details. It WAS that close.

I just barely prefer the Black Hole Sun lyrics. When read as poetry they read slightly better. I love the feel of Under the Bridge a bit better and I like the clean simple drum work.
In the end I feel Black Hole Sun got my vote on the slightly better lyrics, arrangement and Leslie speaker.

LOL...I forgot to vote after all that rumination.

That's gonna kill me.
