    Lol

    I think I just f**ked up my vote.

    I don't think it would have made a difference. GTF is an unreal song as well.

    Yield. What a great album.

    Don't worry. Your brain is still a good brain. Well, relatively good.

    Neither would have been my first choice but out of the two, In Hiding definitely isn't it.

    Agreed. Faithfull would have been my pick.

    Everyone should watch this, period. Should be a requirement by law. Is age 16 too young to truly appreciate this? Was thinking that after passing your driver's license test, you should have to watch this before they take your picture.

    This might mark the first time I've remembered to vote for the "weakest" link in the final round. Feel like it didn't matter as much with the other albums. I love In Hiding and it's probably #2 on the album for me (didn't vote for it until now), but GTF is a real superpower to me. Most days, I'd probably call it a top 5 song in the catalog.

    This was an easy choice. Given To Fly taking on Faithfull would have been tough.

    Well, the easy choice is No Way...

    Oh wait, we fucked that up a few rounds ago! GTF and IH are pretty much even for me so this was a coin toss

    After seeing GTF dedicated to Michael J Fox at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony,
    there's no way I could ever pick it as a "weakest link."

    I remember thinking about GTF when I first played Yield 19 years ago.
    I thought...
    "One day...! One day, this song will win a Weakest Link tournament."

    The video of GTF with the interpreter for the deaf (RIP) always makes me smile. Bittersweet though.

    In Hiding is still a great song but after listening to them both a few times over the past day it's not even close for me.
