It is very easy for me to vote against solo Roger Daltry at the best of times and this is not one of them.

Daltrey's song was pretty much what I expected a Roger Daltrey song from 2018 to sound like. Easy vote for Harding.

Interesting how this performance, as "simple" as it was, actually really brought the work to life. Thanks.

Also easily gets my vote.

Aldous Harding writes the same song again and again. Luckily, it's pretty pleasant. Can't get behind the overwrought theatricality of that Daltrey song, which aims for that late-career Zevon torch song vibe but just turns out sounding rote and self-satisfied. Easy vote to Harding.

Oooohhh... I really, really like this Aldous Harding track. Her voice is hypnotic. Easy choice here & will have to explore more of her stuff.

The Aldous Harding track is pretty good. It probably wouldn't get my vote in some other matches, but it does here as the Daltrey track is pretty schmaltzy.

Never cared much for Aldous Harding, but this song is nice, love her accent/voice. Roger still has a great voice too, but I’m gonna go for What if Birds Aren't Singing They're Screaming

The case of there being a thick wall between one's admiration for all the choices and ultimate craft on an album and actually enjoying listening to it is definitely one I have with the last Aldous Harding's record (and really all her stuff), feels like even what is meant to be taken below surface appreciation is often what turns me off it, but I still have no problem choosing this random track in this particular matchup.
