this one was tough, but I chose "here she comes" because I like the drums in it.

I agree it was tough.I went the other way.
I think candy says was some of Lou's better lyrics he wrote.

I dig here she comes now alot too though.

hey sars,
here she comes now or sticking with you?

Here she Comes is a neat odd song, Candy Says is nice but for me it just doesn't compare.

That's a good job posting, there.

And as for you, changeling, hmmm.... I dig "here she comes now" but it doesn't work well during drunken duets. "sticking with you" it is.

It's rare that I'll vote a 'softer' ballady song from one of their later albums ahead of something from the banana album or White Light/White Heat, but I always thought "Here She Comes Now" was the only weak track on WL/WH, and Candy Says has some beautiful backing vocals that make me melt, so Candy Says gets the vote in this case.
