Poll--The Weakest Link: No Code, Round 1

MedozK

We now have champions for Ten (Release), Vs (Rearviewmirror), and Vitalogy (Corduroy).
We will now play to determine the GREATEST song on the album No Code.

For anyone new to the game:
You are going to pick the song that you think is the "Weakest Link" after 2 days I remove the three (3) songs with the most votes.
We will then move on to Round 2. - Remember you are voting to eliminate songs from contention.

Note - Since Pearl Jam albums generally have more than 10 songs (which is all I can put in a poll), if you want to vote for:

11. Who You Are; Just don't vote and put Who You Are in your comments.
12. Off He Goes; Just don't vote and put Off He Goes in your comments.
13. Present Tense; Just don't vote and put Present Tense in your comments.

Again REMEMBER 3 songs will be eliminated in the first round.

Round 1 Poll will end 3/23/17 (Thursday) at 2:30pm cst

Sometimes

Good to see the 2 fillers ATB and IO will go out along w/ Mankind in the first.
I've been done for well over a decade making myself kinda like Mankind. It's also on that list of "never introduce PJ to a person with", god it's terrible.
So for consistency I am voting Sometimes right through as it won't survive second round.

My all time favorite album...by any band. Rounds 1 & 2 should be relatively easy, then it gets real.

So you're saying that Sometimes really isn't the weakest link at this point?

Confession: I went YEARS not realizing that Stone did the vocals on Mankind. I thought Ed was just using strange vocals!!!!

Ok. Phew.

You gotta admit the way Hail Hail explodes after Sometimes winds down is absolutely epic.

That's how bad it is!
You just insulted Ed and Stone. Very nice.

I'm Open is the only track on No Code that I don't love (I don't even like it, really).

Hi OP (Silent Bob),
What's the elimination plan this time around?
Three after rounds 1, 2, and 3 then two after round 4 leaving the finale (round 5) with a final two songs?

(Assuming no ties, of course)

Tough to argue with this choice. Although Hail Hail and In My Tree are right along side it for me.

No need to apologize. You voted your heart and if you thought one sucked more you would have voted for it instead.

Hmmmm...Maybe. Let's say the very early results hold. I think ATB, Habit, and maybe Smile might go before it.

Hail hail out of sometimes is insane.

Red Mosquito or Smile or Off He Goes or Present Tense for the win here. Really narrowing it down there I know.

You really can't go wrong with any of those songs.

This will be tough when we get to the final 2 rounds. Lukin, I'm Open and Mankind should go this round. Maybe Habit, ATB and Sometimes next round. Makes me realize the high quality of the core 6 - 7 songs on this Album. I think this album will be the toughest for me to pick next to Ten. If they would have subbed out I'm Open and Mankind this record would be unbreakable.

I love Binaural as a whole more, but trim the fat on this and Vitalogy and you've got two perfect albums.

Sometimes is a great song! First song played at my first show. Cant believe the votes for it.

Red Mosquito for the win!

I thought Smile was a bit of a polarizing song, no? Lots of love for it but there are some that think it's a bit "meh" (maybe it's just me).

Love Sometimes...in the fifth spot on NC for me.

Present Tense & In My Tree for the final vote, splitting it, making No Code the only "Weakest Link" album with two winners!

We can do this!

Now here we can agree.

A good, solid tune.

Sometimes should deservedly make it to round three. I love the restrained vocals. Like his voice is handcuffed.
