    This is a tie.
    Both are equally good.

    Couldn't Get It Right gets it all right. The other is too MOR.

    Though my fav is "I am Constant"

    "Couldn't Get It Right" by far. Classic song.

    I'm voting for I Love You because I forgot about it and I don't need to hear Couldn't Get It Right anytime soon. Plus it has a nice Badfinger vibe.

    I like "Using The Power" and "Sky High."

    "Couldn't Get It Right"

    ...and another really good CBB song with a similar vibe that you may have missed is "Gotta Have More Love", which should have been a hit as well.

    I'll give the nod to "Couldn't Get It Right". That being said, "I Love You" is a song that I have loved since it came out.

    Both great songs and I guess it really depends on what day it is for me. Some days I want an incredible love song and other days I want something funky as hell. One of my favorite bands.

    I love both, own both on original singles, but "Couldn't Get It Right" is a perfect slice of Uptempo.

    I Love You, but Couldn't Get It Right is the first song I heard from them. Great tune.

    Both are favorites of mine, but I voted "Couldn't Get It Right" by a nose.
