Another Only Flame Poll!

Okay, just for fun: here's ANOTHER poll about the suddenly controversial song "The Only Flame In Town"! If one version of this song had to be erased from history, never to be heard again, which would you choose to delete?

I suppose I could have included ALL the various "ballad versions" of this, but the voting might get split three ways between the live ballad, the alternate studio version, and the re-written demo on the ATUB bonus disc. Each of those has its own individual flavor, but I'm interested in the stark contrast between the GCW version and the slower version that shows up on reissue bonus discs.

Take your pick! Do you like the slow one, or the fast one?

Truth be told, if I had to pick between these 2 versions of TOFIT again, I'd choose Indoor Fireworks!

One of those votes is wrong. That's what I get for reading too quickly. I meant to keep the ballad version, and I didn't see "eliminate" until too late.
