    Should be 5-2
    5 Quick Escape 
    1 Seven O'clock -
    Just a minus when only two are left :)
    Wasn`t that what I did? Was 5-2 and made it 5-1. 
    Sorry for any misunderstanding. I will go through the rules more careful next time :)

    Ok, so Quick Escape won and Brian Dennehy died.

    Very bad deal.

    Part of me did not want to vote for some reason. I quickly learned I do not have a favourite on this album and 5 songs at least could be that song at any given time. Great album imo!

    Finals tomorrow (please observe the six-song and 30-minute rule).
    Saturday - "Album Survival" (just the 11 of them - no compilations).

    That'll probably do it although there have been a few interesting suggestions. However ...
    - Unless we can agree upon 15 or so essential covers, it might be too difficult to start that one.
    - I feel bad trying to determine the "worst" song.

    Thought you had 6:1 at first. I’m probably blind 😇

    It's also too soon for me to rank these songs. Like some of you, it took me a few listens to appreciate it but now I do. It's a solid album. However, I still can't put these songs in order.

    Just listened to Who Ever Said again through headphones...should have won. The end of that song is lyrically brilliant and musically amazing.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    best song on the album.
    Think I have to agree with you on this. My favorite part of the song is when it goes:

    One bad ear and one eye blind
    It takes a village but don't take mine, etc. etc. 

    This whole section of the song gets my goat! 

    Ha, that’s my favorite part as well! As I said, I like it but it’s 2nd last on the album. As others have said before, it’s cool to see the differing opinions.
    the chorus is still lame though ;)
    How is this chorus lame:

    Had toooo, quick escape!
    Had toooo quick escape!
    Had toooo quick escape!
    Wrong song?!
    I know it's the wrong song. I was sarcastically comparing it to the song that will probably win best song title. IMO it doesn't have the greatest chorus either but that doesn't take away from the song. 

    Aah, see, missed the sarcasm ;)
    it’s not so much the lyric but the delivery for me. There’s no power or urgency in it which doesn’t fit the rest of the song. Oh well, I’m happy others like it, I‘m just surprised how much they like it 
    It's all good my friend! Arguing over favorite songs is like arguing over favorite colors. It's kind of pointless but fun. 
    With that said I do hear the power and the urgency in the chorus which is one of the reasons I like it so much. I guess I have to say it could be my favorite opener of all time as no other opener has been my favorite song off of the perspective album. Hmmmm.

    I did edit my original post. Just wanted to ask as what was quoted was correct. I havent been on these message boards in close to ten years and cant remember editing posts would also edit quotes made. 
    Anyway, no biggie. Sorry to JPPJ84. Im an old rookie.
