Breakdown, one of the best songs, and lunatics voting it out already... 

It is pretty great; just missing a more fleshed out chorus.   Love the piano groove Axl has going on through the song.

But I still don't know how someone opts to listen to 14 years over Breakdown.  Not a huge fan of the "let's let Izzy sing lead" songs.

[downzy]

Also, to those voting on Yesterdays because you think it's a ballad, the song is played at 90 bpm. 

This would be one of the fastest ballads ever recorded if you want to consider it a ballad (and have a problem with ballads in general).

Personally, I've always viewed it as a mid-tempo blues-rock song.  

[Zeppelin]

Breakdown, please. 14 Years is an actual good song.

[themadcaplaughs]

Had to go with "Yesterdays", but not an easy choice as I genuinely love that song. 

[ToonGuns]

What this is showing is just how strong UYI II is. The remaining songs are all incredible.

Don’t you dare voting PTU this early in.

Same. Breakdown is ok at best, 14 years oozes rock n roll coolness and is a great, catchy song.

Because Dust n Bones as well as 14 Years are awesome, simple and bluesy rock tunes without any bullshit that destroyed Breakdown, KOHD and a lot more great peaces of music on those records. That's why imo. Not because Izzy's on lead vocals.

I'm here to hear Axl sing, not Izzy, regardless of the strength of the song or how it's produced.  But that's just me.

With 30 songs, we can give a couple to Izzy. He sang it well. On Double Talkin Jive it took me decades to notice that Izzy is singing it. And yes, the songs he's singing are cool ones and fit him well.

It's not like you can't hear Axl on those songs. I think his parts are pretty cool

I've just never been a big fan of Izzy's vocals.  I'd rather hear Axl sing a mediocre song than Izzy here a better song.

Fair enough. I rather listen to something I like, regardless of who sings on it but everyone's different.

For me, who is on lead vocals is major factor on how much I like the song. 

I'm sure I'd love a lot of Rush songs if Geddy Lee wasn't the band's singer.  

[Ratam]

Now it put harsh! I go with Yesterdays 😐

Yes the point is, that it has to sound good.

There really is not much choice left you kinda lose with everything you vote. The album that is left right now is one would rival AFD in my opinion. Absolutely no filler

I'm glad Breakdown's gonna go. Now I cN vote for something else.

It is solid what's left, but I'd get rid of 14 Years or Pretty Tied Up long before Breakdown. Actually, I'd probably ditch You Could Be Mine first too.
