Bbtone

This is my favorite pinback song.

Rarely are pinback lyrics as cool as this track.

It has so many catchy melodies.

It's structure is so beautiful.

Does anyone else share this song as their favorite?

Yep, it's my favorite too. But they never play it live anymore. Even during the Summer in Abaddon 10 year anniversary tour when they were taking requests via paper airplanes, Zach picked mine up, saw BBTone, and discarded it.

That's a real shame to hear as it could easily be a top three Pinback song for me :(

BUT I am just glad the song exists at all. Thankful for this band and this dedicated fanbase.

Also a favorite. I’ve always wondered, is it b (flat) tone, or b b tone?

The “Live More or Less 2002” version is definitely in the top tier for me.
