    love GTF, but In Hiding wins by a coin flip. Faithfull & ATY are my 2 favorites from this album.
    I LOVE MUSIC.

    Give it up for one of the best songs ever!
    “The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man [or woman] who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.”
    Variously credited to Mark Twain or Edward Abbey.

    I wouldn't have picked GTF before this album poll but am now convinced it is the best song (not my favorite though) on the album. So great live.

    Easy. I've never really gotten the hype of In Hiding. I like it, but I skip it more times than not

    I was leaning towards In Hiding but I changed my mind after HOF performance.

    Same thought here. That was great.

    I guess my prediction of GTF winning the fan poll was wrong. But I didn't expect this to be a beat down. :o

    Booo, In Hiding is better!!
    The next few albums the votes will be split and the races tight. Will be fun! Binaural and Riot Act have more "love it or hate it" songs that people will be pissed to see eliminated or not.

    I don't have high hopes for the fate of Thin Air damnit.

    Wait, I voted wrong! This is confusing, I understand the previous rounds vote is to eliminate one song. I thought championship round was to vote for the one you want to win. In my case that was GTF. Apparently, we are still eliminating...so I should have voted to eliminate IH (though it's a GREAT song). NOOOOO!!!!! I should have read the directions. ;)

    Given to Fly epitomises PJ to me. Heartfelt lyrics (and what a narrative!). And some great rock music.

    We can trade votes.

    I f**ked up and did the same bonehead thing you did for the other song.

    Pshew. I feel better now. Except... my favourite song is getting drilled. At least it's losing to an upper tier gold medal champion though- not some 'flavour of the day' song without historical weight.

    I don't believe I've heard or "seen" this version before. Wow! Would have been perfection if Ed didn't forget that verse.

    In Hiding is my favorite PJ song of all-time. But if it's gonna lose, I'm ok with is losing to GTF. Just glad to see one of my faves make it to the final round for once!

    Thin Air kicks ass! You can be sure I won't be voting if off the island.

    The big question is which three songs WON'T be listed in the first round voting for Binaural (13 songs, 10 spaces)?

    I have no idea how Binaural will end: Some of you dislike the "fast" ones; some of you dislike the "slow" ones. Some of you love NAIS while others despise it! Some of you think Insignificance is the best post-nineties PJ tune while others don't like the subject matter.

    It'll be entertaining for sure.

    How In Hiding beat out Faithful and DTE is beyond me...

    How GTF is the best song boggles my mind too...

    I hate these polls...

    I can't wait for the next one, lol!

    Insignificance and Greivence should be the final 2 on that one.

    I'm with you on the first part, but I get why GTF is the best. It is great in studio and live. I really wanted Faithful, but I don't think it translates as well live. Much better studio track though with less significant lyrics than GTF.

    The two songs that should have been in the final for this album were.

    I do agree that Binaural might be the most interesting album for this exercise.
