Moving on to Round 4 and the semi-finals
Aye Davanita, Stupid Mop, Pry To, and Bugs eliminated in Round 1.
Satan's Bed, Whipping and Spin The Black Circle eliminated in Round 2.
Tremor Christ, Last Exit, Not For You and Better Man eliminated in Round 3.

Again, you are going to pick the song that you think is the "Weakest Link" from the remaining list after a couple days I remove the song with the most votes.

We will then move on to Round 5 and the finals.

The poll will close on Sunday (3/19) at 2:45pm cst.

    How did Nothingman beat out BM or Last Exit?

    Fair enough. Not to sound critical but this is different than the Vs. final.

    Yep, I like a final two better. It will be that way from this point forward.

    No no no! Not For You is a top 5 PJ song for me, and for Nothingman to be in the final is just nuts. What are you people playing at?!

    Corduroy better win this thing. I love immortality, but it's not even close. That slow build intro on the album is sick and then the middle section break; beau-ti-ful. Couple that with Instellar Overdrive in concert and you've got perfection!
    It's a hopeless situation...

    Well this one was easy, the next one will be as well.

    You never really had to begin with.


    Sometimes it's not the song that makes you emotional it's the people and things that come to your mind when you hear it.

    Should we have a "redo" between Animal and RVM? ;) (Totally kidding.)

    I voted for it, so I'm not complaining, but I just heard Tremor Christ from Melbourne in '95 and it was spectacularly badass.

    Great tune indeed. I too voted against it last round as it's just not better (imo) than the other six that were listed.

    I thought the point of this contest is to vote on the best sounding studio version not live?

    I don't think it matters. To me it's about the song itself as opposed to how it was produced in the studio. Besides, I never listen to the albums so I'd have to abstain altogether which wouldn't be any fun (for me).

    Ah, perhaps I have this whole poll wrong then.
    I thought we were voting on what songs sound the best on each studio LP.
    Now I know why we are getting some crazy votes and results.

    edit - To clarify I know we are voting off the weakest link so I thought we are voting off the weakest sounding on each album.

    Immortality for the win! Although corduroy has to be a top five song live.

    Glad to see Corduroy still getting so much love (even after the questionable renditions from the 2016 tour). I'm wondering: Why do people get sick of Even Flow but not Corduroy? I can understand my own reasons for preferring the latter song but I am curious about other individual's points of view.

    I think it makes sense that one would choose to vote that way. Really. I am not, however. There are too many great live performances of all of these songs to worry about studio versions. I'm kind of like that with most of the music I listen to - especially stuff that's been out for a few decades.

    I hear what you are saying although sometimes it's nice to just put the original on loud.
    Like mcgruff does w/ Parachutes.
    He would much rather hear it that way than live.
    Of course Satans Bed sounds amazing on the album - live not so much.
    Sirens is a gem on the album - live not so much although Dyer may disagree.
    Rival and NAIS are lost dogs and should be given as much consideration as Sweet Lew live or studio kinda like the artwork for Moonlander.
