    Easy choice. Never thought ATW would be in the final.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    My two favourites from the album. But I like Unthought Known quite more.

    Ugh. Two terrible finals in a row. I honestly can't say I prefer one of these over the other. So, again, consider my vote for sale.

    Great.  Should we just declare Yellow Moon the champ for the next album?

    Inside Job, Unthought Known and... Lightning Bolt is my guess.

    I don't know.  Unthought Known is just one of the most un-interesting songs in the PJ catalog.  To each their own.

    We are just disrespecting Stone's songwriting so much with these polls.  His only winner is "Release" which is more of an Ed song at the end of the day as it is so vocal driven.   Stone, I'm sorry your fans don't appreciate you.

    Yes.  Sunday day drinking is the best.

    Unlike TBs statement of Getaway.

    Mind Your Manners....

    Without Mind Your Manners and Getaway being on that album I would be in danger of writing off the band's ability to make a great album.

    Getaway is far and away the best song of that album.

    Yes we do - especially since it's a holiday weekend up here (Victoria Day).
    (And Getaway is indeed the best song off Lightning Bolt - although Pendulum is pretty cool.)

    Pendulum is definitely a great song but it got played waaaaaaay too much.

    I somewhat agree but couldn't you make the same argument for Sirens, LB, and MYM?

    I'm going to have to take the 'conscientious objector' line here. Neither of these songs are good enough to win this (IMO obviously) so I can't vote.

    LB will probably win the next poll, but for me it's one of the weaker songs on the record. Getaway all the way!

    I always thought the complaint was that it opened too many shows.
