It is kinda generic but the bassline adds alot to it.
I like the simplicity of the song cause its very stripped down and the drummer paces it well by using the sticks instead of the high hats.

um.. i can vote too, right?

I liked the minimalist approach of Pedro, kind of a poor mans Joy Division. The other band bores me to tears, i literally cried tears of turn it the **** off.

Pedro 3

Hammer 1

That Pedro riff is fun to play, getting that G to ring out, the Hammer riff is pretty cool, hanging around by Cmaj. That's as far as riffs go, but after Hammer got going, I kind of liked it. But the stronger riff gets the win here.

Pedro - 4
Hammer - Uno

I prefer the hammer tune, though it may bore Fred i think the song arrangement is just better in that one.
the guitar is more creative and complex and so is the strumming, the bass is also more fast paced even though the song seems slower than the pedro one.

Yes you can. I had better add that to the OP I guess.
