Pig > The Spider imho. But I do think The Spider is lightyears better than Pork and Beans and The Greatest Man that Ever Lived and should have made it this far at least.

Greatest Man should have #1 in the bag.

Parts of it are fantastic (the harmonies/back-up vocals, Rivers' vocal performance etc.) but overall, it's a bit gunky since those good attributes are placed against half-baked ideas and then they're all tied together by pretty painful lyrical content. I love the idea of Rivers not sticking to traditional song-structure and following a song's vibe, The Angel and the One is an awesome example of Rivers doing that and succeeding with flying colours, The Greatest Man That Ever Lived on the other hand switches genres for novelty alone and it only has so much milage. To quote a review of Red I read the other day: "Ultimately, the song is a total mess, failing to realize that just because you can switch genres like you’re trying on funny hats doesn’t mean you should."

I disagree. The Greatest Man That Ever Lived is fantastic.
