    Inside Job
    My prediction:
    The next round will be an easy vote for me (likely I Am Mine) and then maybe Present Tense also goes next round (purely making this comment based on this round of voting). If this is the case (and I hate to do this) but then I have to vote against Given To Fly (again, I really hate to do it but I think some of you will be in the same boat) and either Release (better live than on the album) or Corduroy (backlash due to overplay) also goes out. I'm gonna guess Corduroy still makes it through to the final for any epic battle against RVM.

    But what do I know?

    Edit: Or maybe all five 1990's songs make it through to round 4 as none of them receive the minimum 10 votes while I Am Mine grabs about 120 of them.

    It's madness. And Light Years is a great song...but it's not even close to being the best song on Binaural.

    It was this or Light Years. Neither are the best on their own albums so that makes it easy. It will be hard not to vote Release next round. It doesn't belong here either.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    I just tried listening to Inside Job and couldn't get through it.  Just boring.  There are so many better songs on self-titled than Inside Job:  Life Wasted, Severed Hand, Army Reserve, Marker in the Sand.

    Honestly being honest.  (I think that's a double somethingorother.)

    I'm on your team here, B-Luxe.
    Great song, but last on the album aside from Garden for me.  Oceans isn't better, but I like it a little better, and it's the first PJ song I heard live.

    Release is great, but I wonder if PJ20 had never been made, would it have won the poll?

    I think MendozK should have spent hours upon hours of his free time creating a gigantic double elimination tournament bracket for all PJ songs so we could have done this properly.
    Thank you Mr. Gambs!

    Bri, is the desert heat starting to affect your thinking? 


    Haha!  Yes, but the only parts that are affected have to do with complex tasks like tying my shoes.  My auditory cortices, hippocampus and cerebellum are firing on all cylinders ! :smiley:

    I'm rooting for that tie. Eliminating both this round will make next round tougher and more interesting.

    My 2nd least favorite song of all time - Tiny Dancer.  Seems almost everybody loves that song and it is like nails (big nails) on a chalkboard to me. 

    Stuff gets real next round when a song from the First Five needs to go.

    Yeah, that's Present Tense for me. Good lyrics, just don't love the music for it, boring AF. I realize I am very much in the minority on that.

    Very true. It's an easy Light Years or I Am Mine vote (whichever makes it through) if no tie. Very tough choice if only the five 1990s songs remain.
