Round 3
I have compiled the 'WEAKEST" of each album, according to prior voting from the forum.
I have listed the 10 songs that had the most votes in Round 1 for their albums.

I have listed the songs - album - and number of votes cast against in their round 1.
Deep - Ten - 43 Votes
Glorified G - VS. - 32 Votes
Stupid Mop - Vitalogy - 69 Votes - Eliminated Round 1
I'm Open - No Code - 59 Votes
Red Dot - Yield - 76 Votes - Eliminated Round 1
Evacuation - Binaural - 63 Votes
Arc - Riot Act - 32 Votes
Big Wave - Pearl Jam - 36 Votes

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 two (2) songs with the most votes.
We will then move on to Round 4. - Remember you are voting to eliminate songs from contention.

    Same. It may come to it down the road but it won't be an easy choice.

    Love the meaning behind it but let's face it, it's barely a song & doesn't compare to the others left.

    How is Evacuation still standing? All 4 of the songs that have been voted off are easily better than it

    Bye bye Evacuation.  The song always makes me think of ex-lax.
    “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.

    No, just no.
    Anything you lose from being honest
    You never really had to begin with.


    Sometimes it's not the song that makes you emotional it's the people and things that come to your mind when you hear it.

    Before I list a few songs that I think are better than Glorified G, I'd like the record to show that I like the song quite a bit. However, some tunes that I would argue are "better" include Parting Ways, NAIS, Of The Girl, Light Years, I Am Mine, Save You, and maybe Severed Hand, Life Wasted, and WWS. 

    With the above said, it's almost like comparing apples to oranges. Both nutritious fruit but a different taste for sure.
