Poll--The Weakest Link: Riot Act Round 1

edited April 2017 in The Porch
We now have champions for:
Ten (Release)
Vs (Rearviewmirror)
Vitalogy (Corduroy)
No Code (Present Tense)
Yield (Given To Fly)
Binaural (Light Years)

We will now play to determine the GREATEST song on the album Riot Act.

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 four (4) 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. I Am Mine; Just don't vote and put I Am Mine in your comments.
12. Save You; Just don't vote and put Save You in your comments.
13. Love Boat Captain; Just don't vote and put Love Boat Captain in your comments.
14. Can't Keep; Just don't vote and put Can't Keep in your comments.
15. All Or None; Just don't vote and put All Or None in your comments.

Again REMEMBER since this album has more songs... 4 songs will be eliminated in the first round.

Round 1 Poll will end 4/23/17 (Sunday) at 2:30pm cst

    Not sure if this has been asked before but do you plan to do the weakest link for all of the winners?

    Let's begin the illogical dismantling of another underappreciated album to follow the disrespect Binaural was given.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    Every band has weak links. A lot of fans think binaural and riot act are it. There s definitely some gems on it but overall it seems to be their two weakest products. Self titled was a nice rebound.

    Same. Binaural wore me out. Just way too stressful. This one will be fun again!

    I feel sort of rotten voting for this given its meaning. However, the lack of lyrics sort of makes it a "non-song" for me.

    BTW: I like your (OP, I still don't know you name!) choices for the five songs that you didn't list. Possibly my five favourites on the album.

    I really started to appreciate a lot of the (slower) songs on this album after listen to the Benaroya Hall album.

    This has been well documented lol. Just curious though...which PJ songs do you actually like? I'd be interested in hearing your top 10 PJ songs. It's probably a bunch of songs from the 1995-1998 era, right?

    Music is so subjective. I personally would have loved if they had explored that You Are sound further, and had done an experimental album with crazy Soundgarden type tunings.

    This is very well documented lol. Derbydave has dte, dimitris has just breathe and I have you are lol.
    Top ten songs? Yikes. Something like: lb, unthought know, I am mine, parting ways, long road, in hiding, immortality, release, go, and rvm.
    Long road is my favorite.
    And some how I forgot porch. So there s my top 11.
    But you would be right in saying that 95-98 is my favorite era.
    Oh and present tense. Geez. So top 12 bud.

    Release shouldn't have even won Ten and better not win it all. Unfortunately, live performance burn out is affecting voter judgment. Apparently over exposure isn't only a political issue...

    Spoiler alert: RVM edges out Corduroy in the big big dance. And it won't be as close as folks might think.
