Prophets of War vs. You Not Me - which one is worse?

[SnakeEyes]

Since there's a Prophets of War appreciation thread, which I respect, I thought I'd make a thread where we can discuss what we don't like about it (RESPECTFULLY, of course).  I won't repeat what I said in the other thread.... just go read it for my opinion on the song.  I'll just repeat one thing:  I think You Not Me is better than Prophets of War.  Any thoughts?

(PoW > YNM) = Buttered celery

[i am fabio]

If it wasnt for the lyrics i might now dislike POW so strongly but i'll never no. I really don't hate the groove of PoW but haviing said that You Not Me BARELY notches it i guess.

[emindead]

N'Sync likes You Not Me.

[Adami]

Neither are terrible songs. Just pointless songs. But YNM has that awesome outro riff, and PoW has nothing like that. So PoW is worse.

[jsem]

POW is worse. I actually kind of like YNM.

[SnakeEyes]

And, the pretty cool guitar solo in the middle. 

[hefdaddy42]

I think POW is worse, but neither is good by any stretch of the imagination.

[ClairvoyantCat]

To me, Prophets of War =  but You Not Me = 

[simba]

You not me is really horrible, PoW is very decent

[VioletS16]

Hey, PoW is an okay song!
The keyboard is REALLY annoying in the beginning (it seems like I'm just really not liking Jordan as much these days...with the exception of SFAM!!!) but I strongly agree with the lyrics 
So I don't really know...
I'm not all that familiar with YNM, but I guess I can check it out...maybe.

[RuRoRul]

Prophets Of War is better by far.

[cramx3]

PoW was actually really fun live and worked well, while I don't think YNM would be very good live. That is what makes the difference between which is worse for me.

[bloop]

I thoroughly enjoy listening to PoW. However YNM is pretty high up on the worst DT songs list for me.

[Icebear]

I rarely listen to either of them. But just the other day, I found myself unable to stop humming this one outro. Took me the rest of the day to figure out that it in fact was the outro from You Not Me. So there you go, I guess I prefer it over PoW. Based on pure "hit"-factor...

[Ben_Jamin]

Prophets of War by a big margin.

[skydivingninja]

Both songs have great ideas.  Prophets of War has that awesome riff, YNM has that cool groove.  BUT, they're both brought down by horrible, horrible things, and that's why I hate them so much.  Just so much wasted potential.  The things that ruin PoW though are worse than the things that ruined YNM, so I'd say PoW is worse.

[pogoowner]

You Not Me is definitely the better song. They're both among DT's worst, though.

[Volk9]

BMS>POW>>>>YNM

[yeshaberto]

You Not Me by a mile, though I love You or Me

[JayOctavarium]

[Ben_Jamin]

PoW is what I hope DT will include more. Not the Muse influence but the way it was produced.

[LieLowTheWantedMan]

PoW is great. The only good thing about You Not Me is the riff after the chorus.

[Global Laziness]

I'm actually quite surprised; I had assumed that most people would be in favour of Prophets of War. I know I sure am; I never really got into You Not Me.

[Phantasmatron]

(PoW > YNM) = Buttered celery

Buttered celery equals one?

[Slain]

You Not Me is awful. I've never understood the hate for PoW, though. That one.

[tjanuranus]

i don't see why POW is even in this discussion. It's a cool song. I dig the queen references!

[?]

Neither of them is particularly good, but I think I prefer Prophets of War 'cause it has some good riffs.

[Zydar]

POW is worse. I actually kind of like YNM.

Indeed.

[Mladen]

I like Prophets of war much better, it's a really good song. You not me, on the other side, is a bland forgettable attempt of making a 90s hit. Nothing about it appeals to my ears.

[hefdaddy42]

i don't see why POW is even in this discussion.

Because it's fucking awful.

[Jamesman42]

(PoW > YNM) = Buttered celery

Buttered celery equals one?

+1

[DJF]

YNM is just rubbish. You Or Me is decent though. POW is cheesy, yes, but not nearly as forgettable as YNM.

[Lowdz]

I like them both. neither are in my top ten but they are steady songs. Would YNM get any hate if Desmond Child's name wasn't on the credits? Prog snobbery I reckon. With respect to eveyone's right to their opinion of course.

Yeah, it would still get hate. The chorus of YNM is pretty unlistenable...
