"More Than Words" vs. "More Than This"

t/s Extreme's "More Than Words" - Is it about sex or not?

Handjobs to "More Than This" by Roxy Music

Is this supposed to be the largest margin ever?

I think somehow pitting one of the best songs in the world with one of the worst songs in the world might be a stroke of genius. Anyone gonna vote for Extreme?

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

voted for "More Than A Feeling"

voted for "They're Coming to Take Me Away, Ha-Ha!"

both of these songs are highly melodic, i don't know what Geir's problem is

"More Than Words" is alright, y'know? But obv it is not "More Than This".

X-Post: One is a classic new romantic moment, the other one represents a rather shit genre - hair metal. (Although Extreme actually went on and followed it with a great Queen-influenced concept-ish album a couple years later)

god I am so sick of the relentless cock-rocking and slick glam riffs of Hair Metal classic "More Than Words"

Yeah, and the waving of a lighter in the video.

can't "tell more than words" from "be with you" tbh

sacrilege

outside of the completely different chord progressions and melody, you mean?

They have similar arrangements, I guess. But so does every single acoustic folk song.

hang on, it's an acoustic folk Hair Metal track? we need a thread for this genre, stat

there are obviously differences but they're similar enough that we didn't need them both is all i'm saying

i doubt anyone here would complain if all trace and memory of "be with you" were wiped from existence.

it cannot hold a candle to guitar god nuno bettencourt's delicate and sensitive fingerstyle evocation of the love beyond words.

how can you deny the smouldering wordless passion that flows from the fingertips of this lustrous haired adonis

how has "more than words" not been covered by a country artist yet? seems like a gimme

I seem to recall Extreme, before this and the Van Halen debacle, actually earning some degree of cred.

"Three Sides To Every Story" was a great album.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

"More Than This" obv. "More Than Words" would just be a perfectly innocuous song if it didn't remind me of how when it came out, everyone around me kept going on about how it was the real deal bc it was all acoustic guitars etzzzzzz.

who said that, housewives?

even Nuno Bettencourt grew to hate the song!

Hmm, not the largest margin ever..

yeah "Words" had a respectable showing!
