    Around The Bend
    I guess we all have to remember that we are voting our opinion of the weakest song remaining. That doesn't mean it's actually a bad song. It's tough to see a song get eliminated that you might personally love, especially with only a few votes. We are all so emotionally attached to these songs. As long as nobody uses the word "sucks" I'm ok with a song being eliminated fairly by votes.

    I like Habit but No Code is my second favourite album so there are so many more standouts on this one for me. It is getting my vote.
    It makes much more sense to live......in the present tense.

    I like Around The Bend but the studio version sounds a little lifeless. Much better at Benaroya.

    Please don't eliminate more than four (or even three) this round. Heck, if there is any sort of tie for third spot, could you consider leaving all eight remaining songs in the race? Give them all a fighting chance, no?

    I think my decision to avoid Around the Bend this round was based on that Benaroya Hall performance. If I had never heard it before, things would likely have been different.

    You make all the excuses you want. Nothing will justify your vote for Smile! :wink::lol:

    Yeah! And let's let Villanova back in the tourney too. So they lost to Wisconsin... They're a good team so they deserve better!

    Wouldnt be any point, any tie for third would just be the first ones gone next round.

    Not even comparable. To eliminate the 3rd song with the current vote totals is just crazy. You have over 70 people that dedicated their vote to Habit and ATB which shows those are the majority picks with no room for error. Lots of error in that the 3rd spot vote right now. All that does is encourage strategic last minute voting if one of them goes with 5 or 6 votes.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    Decent point. If only two with overwhelming majority depart now then the remaining will be in a more evenly balanced competition. not allowing one state, err... person, to decide the fate.

    You forgot to mention songs by Neil Young and Bob Dylan.

    In any event, alright, you got me. It's good in some songs.... I guess it doesn't work for me as well as it does for others. Plus, it follows the great In My Tree so I always found it to be a bit of a "come down."

    We might as well just skip to the final between In My Tree and Present Tense then since each got one vote from people clearly posing as members. Must have been hacked :wink:

    (Although we've been averaging over 100 votes per round so it shouldn't be an issue).
