Here we will continue evaluating each LP from the Greatest Hits release Rearviewmirror.
We will now move on to the final LP 4 (Sides 7 and 8)
We will get a winner from each LP and those 4 will compete to find the winner.
Wishlist and Last Kiss eliminated in Round 1.

Winner for LP 1 = Alive
Winner for LP 2 = Rearviewmirror
Winner for LP 3 = Black

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 2. - Remember you are voting to eliminate songs from contention.

Have FUN!

    Another easy one for me. I like Mike's role in YLB quite a bit, but I am not much of a fan of the nonsensical/unidentifiable/ever-changing lyrics. I wish this had gone before Wishlist. I wish. :glasses:

    Not ever-changing on the studio version :) Unidentifiable though.

    Haha, true; I guess I still think of the studio version as ever-changing because I have no clue wtf he's singing about besides a porch and a letter, so it may as well be different lyrics each time I hear it. :lol:
    I've read that it's something about someone who went off to war or something? I dunno.

    Easy one here. Man Of The Hour still doesn't belong.

    I don't know every word Eddie sings during Yellow Ledbetter but I don't need to, either. The song is beautiful.

    When that songbook finally comes out the mystery lyrics may finally be solved.

    Initially, I thought that LP4 was the weakest of the bunch. However, after Last Kiss and Wishlist were removed it looks like a very solid group if seven songs.

    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.

    No clear weak link here to me. I figured Binaural didn't need two on the list though, even though I love it. Ask me tomorrow and I'll pick a different one. 

    Man of the the hour is getting criminally under appreciated here though. I get that it's not a banger, but for what it is, it's utterly perfect.

    It's a beautiful song. I know, I voted for it and somewhat regret it. However, the other six are "essential" PJ to me.

    This is true. I think I'm going to blame this one on Russian hacking. And please quit to eliminate nais. That is very uncool.
