Moving on to Round 2
Johnny Guitar, Speed Of Sound, and The Fixer eliminated in Round 1.

Again, you are going to pick the song that you think is the "Weakest Link" from the remaining list after a couple days I remove another three (3) songs with the most votes.

We will then move on to Round 3.

The poll will close on Wednesday (5/17) at 3:00pm cst.

    So what wins out here? Got Some? Amongst The Waves? Just Breathe? I really have no idea. Whatever does will be a mortal lock to be eliminated in Round 1 of the Champions Poll.

    Sorry nope. And I love You Are too. However, I believe you have special affection for porch Melbourne 1995. I'd agree with you on that one.

    I hope not, two rounds of middle of the road song wins is enough. Force of Nature and Got Some in the final!
    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.

    I actually quite like GSMF, it rocks it's catchy but I like Supersonic even more. It was a tough choice tbh.

    or Gonna See My Friend. Those just never got me.

    Underrated group remaining. Final 4 prediction: Unthought Known, Amongst the Waves, Got Some, and Force of Nature narrowly edges out Just Breathe for a spot in the dance. Amongst the Waves will be your winner.

    I love seeing the extremes when people talk about Unthought Known - one of those songs people either really love or really hate.  I get that it has a poppy mainstream element to it - why a lot of people may not like Sirens or Future Days, but I think Unthought Known really is a fantastic song and the best song on this album

    Yup. Great song. And I happen to love the Gems and Rhinestones lyric. If not for the words, then the delivery. Awesome live too! In short, if it weren't for Backspacer, and particularly Unthought Known and Amongst the Waves, my wife would not be a die-hard PJ fan today. This album made them accessible to her and then made her listen differently to their older material. Wasn't something we shared until then. For that, I'll always love this album.

    I don't like the vocals on GSMF. From the first time I heard it I didn't like it. I feel like if it were a Soundgarden song, it'd make more sense. Lyrically I find it hard to connect with. But I can see why people like it. I'm just not one of them.

    Several weakest link threads ago I thought I remember you saying Unthought Known and ATW were your top 2 from this album. I remembered because its a coin flip between those two when it comes to my favorite. Must have been someone else who said it, but both great songs!
