Ok, so hopefully everyone had fun with the "Weakest Link" polls going through all the studio albums. What I would like to do now is find the BEST song of the Weakest Links.

I have compiled the 'WEAKEST" of each album, according to prior voting from the forum.
I have listed the 10 songs that had the most votes in Round 1 for their albums.

I have listed the songs - album - and number of votes cast against in their round 1.
Deep - Ten - 43 Votes
Glorified G - VS. - 32 Votes
Stupid Mop - Vitalogy - 69 Votes
I'm Open - No Code - 59 Votes
Red Dot - Yield - 76 Votes
Evacuation - Binaural - 63 Votes
Arc - Riot Act - 32 Votes
Big Wave - Pearl Jam - 36 Votes
Johnny Guitar - Backspacer - 67 Votes
Sleeping By Myself - Lightning Bolt - 52 Votes

For anyone new to the game:
You are going to pick the song that you think is the "Weakest Link" after 2 days I remove the two (2) songs with the most votes.
We will then move on to Round 2. - Remember you are voting to eliminate songs from contention.

Round 1 poll will close on Wednesday, 6/14 at 3:00pm cst

    Stupid Mop and Red Dot should go here. If we were eliminating three Johnny Guitar should go with them.

    There is no way Deep does not win this one. It is not even going to be close imo.

    This is just circumstantial. There are no weak songs on Ten.

    Oh wow. I think Foxymop is better than several of the other choices. As usual, few like that song as much as I do, lol. I don't think i really understand the popular aversion to foxymop.

    It is a stretch to even call it a song.  
    How many parties have died in an instant when that comes on the stereo?  I know I have had a few where I wasn't quick enough on the DJ skills and creepy little ghost girl kills the mood.
    It's artistic, sure, but they took the wrong page out of the Beatles' book with this one.
    It's a smudge on an otherwise stellar album and I know I'm not the only person who has burned a copy of Vitalogy just to leave it off.

    Pretty atrocious lyrics on that one for me. First time I heard it I had to double check that I was listening to a PJ cd. But, that's about half of Backspacer for ya! I loved the first 3 songs, then it gets sporadic. I suppose that album is to me what Riot Act to most other people?
