On to Round 2 to determine the GREATEST song on the album 'The Stranger' by Billy Joel
Eliminated Round 1 -  Everybody Has A Dream, Get It Right The First Time, and Vienna

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.
We will then move on to Round 3  - Remember you are voting to eliminate songs from contention.

Lets have fun with this. Remember debating and discussing why your right and others are wrong is always fun.

    The Stranger
    I admit that I liked the song a lot more when I made up lyrics that I felt matched the title 'The Stranger'

    Well I slept in a place
    On my left arm, forever
    And then I rolled over and introduced myself,
    to my now numb arm...

    Some cheesy songs left on this list but this was the one I liked the least.
    To me, Glass Houses was his best work.  
    The love he receives is the love that is saved

    Just The Way You Are
    Easy picks for me these first 2 rounds.  Just the Way You Are is too "easy listening" for me. (Remember when you checked the box on your Columbia House card for what type of music you preferred?)

    I can't believe Vienna was voted out in the first round. 

    I really like this game but it's not fun when the best (not the most well known) songs are voted out early.  

    When 'When the Levee Breaks' won early on was a high water mark for this game.

    This round is looking a little slim on the votes and is all over the place.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    Only The Good Die Young
    Only the Good Dye Young is a bit generic sounding to me.  I'm down for either Scenes or The Stranger.
    I wish I was a sacrifice, but somehow still lived on.

    Just The Way You Are
    Never did care for Just the "Way You Are", especially as over-played on radio as it was back in the day.

    Who in their right goddamn mind voted out Vienna, let alone in the first round. 
    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.
