Hey everybody,

I've been thinking about this lately and it seems like, at least with me, if 
I 
hear a demo version of a song, and then hear the finished product later 
on, I almost always prefer the demo.  I can't even think of any examples 
of the opposite.  Just as an example, I'm currently trying to compile my 
top 100 songs of the decade so far to play at the end of the year over 
the course of 2 - 3 radio shows.   On that list, I have 3 "Demo" versions 
of songs listed, just because I severely disliked the version I heard later.

Now, I don't always get to hear demos of songs, but I can name 5 or 6 
bands in just the past couple of years where I've been disappointed once 
the CD version has finally come out.  That's what I'm worried about with 
my current favorite band The Littlest Man Band.  I've had their 5 original 
demos burned to CD and it hasn't left my CD player for the past 6 
months or so.  But now I hear that they've changed the songs or made 
some of them faster for the CD that should be out soon, and I'm already 
dreading the results.

Anyone else feel this way?
