I then spent the rest of my ride trying to figure out which one I liked better. They're so wildly different, and they both conjure up different memories. I couldn't decide, so I'm putting it up for a vote. Which do you guys prefer?

 

H.I.M:

 

 

 

JJ72:

 

Feel free to note, in the comments, why you chose the song you chose. I'm truly conflicted on this one, and I'm calling it a draw, since we're dealing with two of my favorite bands here. JJ72 is definitely in the upper echelon of my all-time favorites [I don't have a tattoo that represents one of their songs for no reason], but I have an incredibly nice association with the H.I.M version.

 

Your turn... Choose wisely and show your work!
