Mankind is definitely fun and quirky and catchy, but does not fit on the album known as No Code. Wrong album, and quite frankly wrong band. Maybe if there were a dozen or so PJ songs with Jeff or Stone or Matt singing lead, then fitting in would be easier. But unfortunately Mankind is more like that weirdo lurking in the corner at a party scratching paint off the wall.

LOL! I'm not a fan, but I don't find it that repulsive....

No I really don't like Hail Hail that much. I don't understand the love for it. Last album poll, it's not that I don't like Immortality, I just don't think it deserves to be called one of the best from Vitalogy. To be fair though I'm not the biggest No Code fan. Once you get past Habit and Lukin it kinda takes a dive for me. Now Binaural I will be one of those lamenting the choosing of any of them.
Anything you lose from being honest 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.
How the hell is ATB still surviving? Whenever I want a good laugh I just picture a person in public singing it out as loud as they can.
Says the guy who voted for Sometimes in the first round
I didn't think it would survive the first round. So I voted for Sometimes in case that song was close too but obviously the TC lovers are keeping it around. I would not have cared if it went out in the first at all. ATB won't survive round 2 it's too weak period. Sometimes would be a great punishment song that a Gulag in Siberia would play on repeat over the loudspeakers 24/7.

Sometimes is a great song that kicks off Pearl Jams best record. And Around The Bend is a perfect end to a perfect record.
I think they'll be fine - for now. I don't like their chances in round 2. I'm trying to predict the third song to go during that round. Very difficult to figure out based on round 1 results.

I thought we were voting for what we think is the weakest link, not other songs because we think the ones that are the weakest link will automatically be voted off? Interesting strategy. Will have to see if it becomes a pattern.
Listened to moline this morning. Just wish I had been there. What a gift!

Been said a few times but it's worth repeating. These threads are fun.
Have they have hard a weakest link with the albums?
?
I may have missed it if it was done, but put 10, vs, vit, No Code, etc up in a poll and vote just like did with each individual songs. Would be curious on the results. I love No Code, but have been surprised several said it was their favorite.

Just repeatedly step on his tail and that would probably do it.

I believe Med said he would do an albums and an eliminator of the winner poll.
