I love the vibe of CC with The Cure

A really tough decision. Love both songs for totally different reasons. Fun wins out in the end for me with Jon Spencer.

I've listened to that track a lot, to the point I near studied it 🤣 . I've even stockpiled a handful of personal production queues based on it. I think it's brilliant. And I don't think many artists have done that style anywhere near the justice Crystal Castles did in their early years.

Sorry Jon.

That's awesome. I can definitely see how it could be that kind of track.

This was a harder choice than I expected given the comments - the Jon Spencer song is a lot of fun. Went with Crystal Castles though.

Don't particularly love either track. Voted for Crystal Castles & Robert Smith.

Not my favorite song by CC, but it better exemplifies the 10's better than the admittedly fun house party blues of Jon Spencer.

Going with the Castles/Cure dream-team electro-ballad, always have a soft spot for CC, while I didn't know Jon Spencer was still making music into the 2010s and this is... okay? I guess. But no contest.
