    Tough one. All four are solid songs but I had to go pendulum because it s usually played in the same exact spot.

    I am surprised that Getaway beat out Infallible... or any of the others left on the board.

    I'm rooting for MYM! That's my fave from the album by far.

    There is no better part of the record than Mike's guitar solo on MYM.  The band has some energy left!

    Getaway
    I was lucky enough to see MYM played for the first time live, London, Ont.  Even though there was a mic issue I couldn't wait to hear Mike solo. 

    Anyway Getaway is a good song but not good enough to make it to the final.

    I don't pay much attention to the internet when I'm off work, so I missed round 3.  Tough vote this time but I gotta go MYM.

    I sigh whenever I hear this live or it plays when my phone is shuffling music. 

    Funny thing is that I used to really like it when the album came out.

    Assuming we do a "best of the best" weakest link with all ten winners once this is done, I think Inside Job, Unthought Known, and the winner of this album are going to go down quickly.

    I think every song on Ten through Vitalogy would beat these three winners.

    As I type this Getaway has the fewest votes. I'll be honest, I don't get it. The other three have become staples of the live show and are quick to come to mind when I think of this album. Getaway​ not so much.

    Getaway is one the best opening tracks out of the ten albums IMO

    Holy shit! This is the closest round ever. All four could end up in a tie at this point. I was going to vote LB, but that looks like a clear goner right now, so I'll need to be more strategic.
    It's a hopeless situation...
