    I love that no one has (initially) touched Go and Animal. There's no way in hell that these two are weak links this early. They should both make it to the last (or next-to-last...RVM is pretty great) round.

    So will the final round for Vs. simply be a group of three songs?

    Kinda depends on how elimination rounds go, because if ties occur... all tied are eliminated.

    I hate to be critical of this masterpiece, but here we go.

    I almost went Rats but Blood is one song I have never really got into.

    Glorified G is awesome. I knew it was going to take a beating, but I just wanted to say... Glorified G is awesome.

    dirty have you listened to a 1995 version of blood? come on bro. The fifties are killing your memory.
    Hahaha

    I used to rock this album on my Sony sports walkman when running (recorded on a 90 minute cassette).

    I tried mixed tapes and other albums, but my best runs came when I cranked this album. There's no bad songs.

    This is too hard. I'm going to have to listen to Vs in full now and decide in about 46 minutes' time!

    Leash is the weakest one for me.

    This one is going to get harder each round, and Vs is nowhere near my favourite PJ record...

    This is tough. There's not a weak link anywhere in the chain.

    I don't usually think of it as their best album but looking at it now top to bottom...damn. There really aren't any weak links.

    With voting going as it is... it is looking possible (with ties) to actually eliminate up to 5 songs in the first round.

    First round easy for me. Dissident is one of the few PJ songs I truly dislike

    not that it matters, but even Ed dissed this song: "glorified version of I hate this song"

    and I can't stop hearing "pelican" instead of "pellet gun". kinda ruins it for me.

    I don't love it, but like it quite a bit. I think it's the worst song on the album, but that doesn't make it a bad song. The whole album is great IMO. :) (I have to say, I don't listen to what Eddie thinks about his own music anymore. The day he said that he thinks Lightning Bolt is PJ's best album I lost all confidence in his taste in PJ music. Same with BoB. He said he thinks Sirens is PJ's best song since Black :weary: ).

    I just listened to the album for the first time in a while. I voted already, but my opinion has not changed. Leash is the answer. Easy. It'll get tough from here

    Glorified G would fall somewhere between #8 and #11 for me. No bad songs on Vs for me.
