    Now I've voted, I've no idea what to do next. So many good songs but I'm not really sure I've got an overall favourite as every time I play the record I change my mind over my fav.

    Been voting purely on the music so far. Might have to start the inking about the lyrics to get me through the next couple of rounds!!

    Early on it looks as if we're heading toward a Given to Fly/In Hiding final!

    Those were my 2 favorites 15-20 years ago. But I don't think they have aged as well, especially In Hiding, for me. Still good, but I'll probably be voting for them before the finals.

    It really is hard to vote down any song on such a good album. I'll keep looking at it as voting up the best song on a great album! :smiley:

    Gah! Sorry, Low Light.

    (and shame on the OP for not including Hummus!)

    I just noticed this album doesn't have many Eddie tunes on it. Way to go full band!

    It looks like this and the next round have some pretty clear leaders to go out. The final four is shaping up for a BoJ, Faithful, GTF and IH showdown.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    My vote will be very unpopular, but this has always been the one song on this album that I usually skip. It's like Off He Goes estranged brother, but less interesting.

    I agree. Just a blah song for me.

    For sure. There seems to be three groupings this round. Those that will go tomorrow (No Way, Wishlist, MFC), those with mid-range votes that'll likely go next round (DTE, LL, ATY) and the final four you mentioned (and probably a GTF/IH final that was mentioned earlier).

    It's so great debating each and every song on each album.

    Wishlist has grown on me over the years. Tough choice but mfc

    Yeah, me too. I really like Wishlist. There is just something about it.
    Doesn't matter though - there is nothing on this album that I don't love; makes it hard to choose one to discard.

    Still not a single vote for Given To Fly (rightfully so, imho).

    Did any of you consider voting for it at this stage (i.e., maybe it ranks at #9 for you on the album)?

    Live it is a thing of beauty, the album version suffers for that as it pales in comparison. Not sure how I'll vote in the end.

    Faithfull is a thing of beauty and the best song on the album.
    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.

    Agreed. Faithfull has always been my favorite. That middle section rocks. Always crank it all the way up!
