    I consider RVM one of the band's greatest. It's basically perfect.
    Me too! And live it's absolutely the best!

    I find it odd that Rearviewmirror can't even make it out of the semi's in the championship poll which Corduroy won but is beating Corduroy head to head.

    I think some people are changing their vote to give another song a chance at winning. Hey, we all love Corduroy (most of us do, anyway) but many want to give something else a chance to be recognized. Plus, Release isn't on this compilation.

    FTR: I still voted against RVM.

    I like Corduroy better. Studio and live. Always have.  RVM is still good but anytime I hear it now, my only thought is "well, here's the end of the set."

    Kind of like when they play "Alive" but instead we're thinking, "The show will soon be over."

    Yeah, that is how I've been voting the whole time. Considering particular lives versions over the studio version doesn't quite ring true in the context of these polls IMHO.

    Agreed. Especially in the context of the Rearviewmirror release. Which, seriously people... if RVM doesn't win, isn't it kind of silly. Get on board!

    No way I'd ever vote Corduroy a "weakest link"
    I struggled....Corduroy is my favorite but RVM is a more intricate tune.

    Exactly.
    that`s the only reason why I started to "dislike" Alive, makes me sad, whatever they play after that song doesn´t change the feeling

    Ending this one in a tie would be great.

    Corduroy is indeed making a bit of a comeback but time is running out!

    Probably my top 2 songs but RVM has been #1 for a long time.

    So I guess it'll be Alive vs RVM in the semi-final or will there be some sort of "cross over" with the "Down Side" winners?

    Black and Given to Fly are my predictions (but not necessarily picks) for the other two LPs.

    Oh, are we done already?? RVM is a 4 LP album... aren't we only halfway done?

    Black and GTF winning was just my prediction for the second half. Nothing more.
