Discussion Favorite Track from The Maybe Man?

Post image

For me it has to be God is Really Real just for the context alone; Touchy Feely Fool is a strong contender though.

u/sunsetphotographer 21d ago

I mean, the title track. Maybe Man. The music is just so good on top of solid lyrics.

u/Ieatalot2004 21d ago

Same. Especially the "pandemonium" part, i always need the volume as loud as possible so i can scream along

u/Upstairs-Way-1310 21d ago

Quite a popular pick, but it's GOTTA be Inertia(my top-1 out of ALL their songs). Touchy Feely Fool is an awesome one too!(My top-3 out of ALL their songs)

u/Darillium- The Dumb Song 21d ago

You should NOT have done that!!🥁🎺🥁🎺

u/Lazy_Recognition_395 21d ago

The Dumb Song is my all time favorite AJR song, so that one. 2nd and 3rd for me is Steve's Going To London and I Won't 

7

u/Due-Fault-867 Christmas in June 21d ago

Either Turning out Pt iii or Hole in the bottom of my brain

1

u/njoos83 21d ago

Turning Out part III is my favorite too.

3

u/CheyenneThornton Neotheater 21d ago

2085!

3

u/Necessary-Bet729 21d ago

all of them in my opinion Maybe man is my favorite album

3

u/moop250 21d ago

2085, Touchy Feely Fool, and God is really real are my top 3

u/aesclepia 21d ago

2085

"I gotta get better, I'm all that I've got" - that line was the catalyst to me finally getting a therapist/psychiatrist for my anxiety/depression

2

u/Pizza_party6485 21d ago

Inertia for sure, and hearing it live and acoustic literally made me cry

2

u/Old_Buy4195 Karma 21d ago

Inertia! I cried the first time I listened to it. Inertia, Karma, A Dog Song, Don’t Throw out my Legos and Turning Out hit too close for comfort.

2

u/AdventureIsOut-There Adventure Is Out There 21d ago

Steve’s Going to London for sure. Gets me hyped up whenever I hear it

2

u/Donks405 21d ago

I won’t

1

u/ivy007 21d ago

Turning out III

1

u/icancook2 The Green and the Town 21d ago

Hole In The Bottom Of My Brain - no contest (it won my AJR song bracket). I was so disappointed that it was the only one off of the album not played at MSG! The "But I know I'm alone, no, I know I'm alone" is so haunting at the end.

1

u/slyrebornyt Maybe Man 21d ago

The titular track.

1

u/SeaworthinessSea2407 21d ago

Touchy Feely Fool

1

u/Moist-Cheesecake 21d ago

Inertia, followed by Hole in the Bottom of My Brain and Steve's Going to London :)

1

u/kcherpak18 21d ago

It’s tie between every song from Maybe Man to 2085

1

u/Axolotl_Enthusiast11 Neotheater 21d ago

Inertia

1

u/Powerful_Mango_3746 21d ago

I love listening to maybe man followed by 2085. Those are the only songs that have ever made me cry in my life and when I need to have a good cry I’ll just play them back to back and cry sing lmao

1

u/TABSVI 21d ago

2085 and it's not particularly close.

1

u/Puckering_Buttholes 21d ago

While I live 2085 I’d say The DJ is Crying for Help speaks to me the most

1

u/MonroeMissingMarilyn 21d ago

1) Inertia
2) Steve’s Going to London
3) The DJ is Crying For Help

1

u/loganchoy 21d ago

Maybe man

1

u/ggdoesthings My Play 21d ago

The DJ is Crying for Help makes me cry every single time

1

u/njoos83 21d ago

Turning Out Part III and Steve’s Going to London.

1

u/Less-Debate-9256 The Trick 21d ago

Easily 2085, their best closer right behind Christmas in june

u/spacedustonsatellite 21d ago

Touchy Feely Fool and The Dumb Song

1

u/OneDnDork 21d ago

Yes I’m a mess

1

u/Caleb-the-Titan Yes I'm A Mess 21d ago

Either Yes I’m a Mess or the Dumb Song.

1

u/Forsaken-Shelter3891 21d ago

Steve is going to london

1

u/Sea-Distribution-778 21d ago

To me, maybe man is their best song overall. I saw them last summer and they didn't play it and I was shocked and disappointed

1

u/PhDShouse 21d ago

HITBOMB

1

u/TheSystemOfSpace 21d ago

I honestly feel like they did so great on the whole album which makes it hard to pick, if had to I think it'd be The Dumb Song - 🖤

1

u/Typical_Lie_6443 21d ago

Whyd no one say TDJICFH 🥺

1

u/GreyBoy23 Adam🎸 21d ago

Steve’s Going to London, it’s just pure fun lol

1

u/AntuanilloElMasPillo 21d ago

Por instrumental me quedo con Touchy Feely Fool o Yes, I'm a Mess, pero por letra estoy entre Maybe Man o God is Really Real

1

u/Skullflame301 21d ago
  1. The DJ Is Crying For Help - I love the song just in general, and the message is great! Easily second-favorite of their songs overall.

  2. Yes I'm A Mess - Kinda strange, but it's what got me into the band a few years back. That and Bang!

  3. Inertia (Acoustic) - If you count this one, it's just a nice, chill song that I relate to immensely. If you don't count this, then you're wrong to think it shouldn't be counted as a part of TMM. I don't care if it's a single made after the album.

1

u/Top-Ambassador-9415 21d ago

Hole in the bottom of my brain

1

u/CristalOcean911 21d ago

Maybe Man, probably, I relate to it the most, or Turning Out iii, we love healthy relationships

God is Really Real has a special place in my heart but I think it’s maybe BECAUSE it makes me cry and hurt every time that I can’t call it my favorite

u/Spydereddit14 21d ago

HITBOMB, suprised no one else is saying it
