Looks like the Avocado rankings aren't quite finished, but let's start another one.

The 2nd album in our exciting series of rankings is the amazingly awesome Vs. To make things a little more interesting, I’m adding the two b-sides of that time that I know of to the contest: Hard to Imagine and Hold On. So, there will be 14 songs to rank.

The 14 songs to rank are:
Go
Animal
Daughter
Glorified G
Dissident
W.M.A.
Blood
Rearviewmirror
Rats
Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town
Leash
Indifference
Hard to Imagine
Hold On

My rankings are:
1. RVM
2. Go
3. Leash
4. Indifference
5. Daughter
6. Hard to Imagine
7. Dissident
8. Blood
9. Animal
10. W.M.A.
11. Glorified G
12. Small Town
13. Hold On
14. Rats


The Avocado ranking was fun, but this is a whole 'nother level. Indifference 4th, and I'm not disrespecting that song at all. What an album!

Final Results:
1. RVM 401
2. Go 364.5
3. Indifference 346
4. Animal 338.5
5. Leash 300
6. Hard to Imagine 261
7. Small Town 249
8. Daughter 237
9. WMA 213
10. Dissident 210
11. Glorified G 208
12. Blood 201
13. Rats 181
14. Hold On 128

Congrats Rearviewmirror! Thanks for voting.

    I started posting on the Avocado thread, then realized it was too difficult for me to do, and I just said forget it. That being said, it's even more difficult to rank this album, especially for me, since this was the 1st album I heard of the bands, and it really got me into PJ. It's too hard to rank them.

    If you rank some songs as ties, I'll split the difference in the tabulation. Say - these 5 are my favorites, next 5 are really good, last 4 not so good...

    Is there a wrong answer to this question? There's no such thing as a bad song on Vs - the whole album is varying degrees of awesomeness...

    That being said:

    1. RVM
    2. Leash
    3. Indifference
    4. Go
    5. Animal
    6. Daughter
    7. Rats
    8. Glorified G
    9. Dissident
    10. Elderly Woman
    11. Blood
    12. WMA
    13. Hard to Imagine
    14. Hold On

    Though on any given day, WMA or Rats could just as easily be #1...
    And I listen for the voice inside my head... nothing. I'll do this one myself.
