On to Round 3
Johnny Guitar, Speed Of Sound, and The Fixer eliminated in Round 1.
The End, Supersonic, and Gonna See My Friend eliminated in Round 2.

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 two (2) songs with the most votes.
Remember for a song to be eliminated it must get a minimum of 10 votes.

ONLY 2 SONGS WILL BE ELIMINATED THIS ROUND

We will then move on to the Semi-Finals.

The poll will close on Friday (5/19) at 3:00pm cst.

    Neither Unthought Known nor Force Of Nature should survive this round but both probably will.

    I don't think so, but I'm glad someone enjoys it! ;) If I could choose to love everything PJ plays, I would. It's a lot more fun than disliking something, lol.

    Amongst the waves tried to be a Given to Fly epic but without the sharpness of Eddie Vedders 1991 to 2002 lyrics.

    I guess it has been replaced by Lightning Bolt now in some sense. The "songs that wants to be epic, but will not be classics like the former true epics" tier.

    Force of Nature has a cool sound to the guitars and a cool vibe. I dig it a lot.

    It´s about time Just Breathe leaves this poll, never like it much, specially live

    The correct answer is Unthought Known with a close second being Just Breathe.

    Force Of Nature
    3rd time lucky...

    I've been reading the comments on the last 2 polls and wondered if I was missing something with Force of Nature. I just listened to it a few minutes ago and it did nothing to change my mind.
    Honestly, I don't think it's a bad song - it's certainly no Evacuation! The vocals and lyrics are ok, but musically it does nothing for me.

    Got Some for the win (although I've been wrong in every other poll so far :))

    Force Of Nature
    Tough choices for me, but Force of Nature, by definition of this particular poll, is the weakest link. 

    I think the hook is great but I don't care for the beginning. To clunky of a start for me or something. Can't put it to words. :i_dunno:

    I think the chorus of Force of Nature, with Marker in the Sand and Infallible, stands with the strongest and catchiest in the later albums.

    Infallible is a song that should be banished never to be heard from again, let alone being described with the word catchiest.
