Eliminated Round 1 -  Everybody Has A Dream, Get It Right The First Time, and Vienna
Eliminated Round 2 - Just The Way You Are and The Stranger

For anyone new to the game:
You are going to pick the song that you think is the "Weakest Link" after 3 days I remove the two (2) songs with the most votes.

    Let's take a moment to mourn the loss of The Stranger. 

    Now onto the bloody battle to the end.

    Way too easy. 
    It's a hopeless situation...

    "Only the Good" can't die fast enough.
    “The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man [or woman] who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.”
    Variously credited to Mark Twain or Edward Abbey.

    For me it sounds formulaic but also it was played to death on radio back in the day.

    Wow I guess my Billy Joel taste in songs does not mimic the rest of the world...

    @josevolution you're a fellow NYer, can't believe you have no love for She's Always A Woman...

    I don't hate it at all. It just isn't better than the others, or most of the songs that are already gone. This whole album is stellar - the entire round is about voting for good songs IMO.

    Im still trying to figure out why Vienna isnt still here.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.
