I love Wake Up, but it's going to take a lot for me to vote against Iron Galaxy.

The Cannibal Ox one. Not too sure the song exactly works for me but it's interesting. Wake up has always felt a bit over-inflated to me. But I really have to be in the mood for Arcade Fire anyway.

[dihansse]

Wake Up is a fine Arcade Fire Song so I go for that one.

[RoundTheBend]

Wake Up is one of the only tracks ever written that combines nearly all musical elements I care about in one track and does so gloriously.

Gritty guitars
Motown bass
A freaking harp
I cry man tears
Euphoria
Explosive vocals
A solid rhythm
A surprise or 4
Ok there's more but whatevs it's for me anyway.

[Fischman]

AF as the lesser of evils here.

[LedZep]

Both are excellent but I'm voting Ox since he's a bit of an underdog, and Wake Up is not a top 5 Arcade Fire tracks for me.

This one hurts. Went with Wake Up, but was really on the fence.
