General Rules (please abide)
1. You have to deduct two points and add one point. 
2. Only one point may be deducted per song.
3. Please wait at least 30 minutes between each of your own votes.
4. Keeping rule #3 in mind, you may vote again either after at least six other users have voted or at least six hours have passed - whichever comes first.
5. Please "double check" after you post and ensure that someone else hasn't posted at the same time. It helps with keeping track of the scores.
6. Please only eliminate one song per post (e.g., if two songs are down to one point each, don't eliminate them both). This will help with final rankings.
7. Once the number of songs is down to two, just subtract one point from one song.
8. The last song remaining wins!

    I really like No Code. I truly do. However, I think it might win this thing but I only rank it at #5. Should I vote strategically during this round?

    If any one is curious, I've narrowed down the covers to 15 songs. (We're going to do one LAST round on Sunday).

    This is what I have:
    RITFW, Fuckin' Up, Crazy Mary, Last Kiss, Baba, Love Reign O'er Me, The Real Me, Sonic Reducer, Leaving Here, I Believe in Miracles, Crown of Thorns, I am a Patriot, Kick Out the Jams, I've Got A Feeling, and Comfortably Numb 

    ... also considering Fortunate Son, Know Your Rights, and Throw Your Arms Around Me but the list might be getting too large

    Anything major missing?
    - No intros or tags will be included
    - Hunger Strike and other TOTD tunes are more collaborations than covers
    - Setting Forth is an EV song... yes, technically a cover but not really
    - Too many John Lennon songs to choose from

    I think it's a "fair" one.
    They have others that I really enjoy but they've either haven't played them in a while or have only played them a few times - or both (like Let My Love Open The Door). Unless I/we can be convinced otherwise, the list will likely be those 15.

    well I love Throw your arms around me but they don’t do it very often, right? Love Imagine but that’s mainly Ed solo. So 15 is good 👍🏻

    Throw Your Arms is #16... played relatively consistently over the years - just not that often.
    Edit: You've Got To Hide Your Love Away should also be considered as it's been played quite a bit. As you also mentioned, I think those EV "solo" performances should maybe be skipped. The 15 songs I've listed are "full band" ones.

    I am prettry sure we will all be shocked at some of the votes that will happen this round.
    I am going to find separating top 5/6 albums very difficult.

    True. And yes, me too. Then again I also found ranking songs difficult. Too many awesome songs :)

    It is but I just realized that I missed a Lennon song.
    Throw Your Arms is also an EV "solo" at most PJ shows, no? Unless that Finn fella joins him, of course.

    Absolutely.  Proves the depth of the material and songs

    Why does it matter if it's just Ed solo the song is a cover and it's being played at a PJ show. Let My Love Open The Door at Soldier Field is absolutely epic and a key to what made that such a legendary show. Throw Your Arms Around Me is also amazing so I think they both should be included. I think 20 covers would be perfect. JMO
