The Blues (Street of Dreams) because many people I've played this one for like it.  Best reaction outside of Better and I.R.S.  We have two good rockers so throw in the Blues and follow it up with another rocker or two then TWAT.

Agreed.  The Blues would be a great choice for a third single.  Gotta stretch out the rockers a little bit more. 

Even tho that song has been overplayed by most of us, i think back to when i first heard it and how i reacted.

I voted for Street Of Dreams because it's a mid tempo ballad,but There Was A Time would also be cool.

I voted for Street of Dreams.  The "demo" versions got a 6.5 from me, but the new guitar parts added by ron make a HUGE difference.  The song is now one of my favs on the record.  I give it an 8 now.

Yuk! I honestly think The Blues... oh sorry Street of Dreams would get a shitty reaction from the public. It's so damn cheesey sounding. Axl sounds like a total wimp in it.  Besides CITR this song would be the worst choice as a single in my opinion.

I would go with If the World if it wasn't another rocker or maybe Sorry.

Yup. Both would be excellent choices I think.

You might be right.  I loved the song when I first heard it back in 2001 (still do).  I thought it would have huge cross-over success (still do).  BUT, I sent the leaked version to a female friend, thinking she would love it.  Not so much.  Probably didn't help that I intro'd it as a ballad in the mold of SCOM or NR.  I wasn't comparing the song to those 2, just the fact that it was a slow ballad type song, not a rocker.  She replied that it was nowhere near SCOM or NR and that it sounded like Axl was whining too much.  This is a girl who likes Bon Jovi though, and lots of depressing music.  Don't know if her opinion should be taken as that of the majority.

Yep. Cant hold the songs up to those standards. This album has to set its own standards and gain its own fans.

I voted for Sorry simply because it must get out there and into peoples heads.  TWAT should definately be a single, I think this song has the most longevity out of all the songs on the album.
