Some people need to have a good long look at themselves in the mirror!

Revol and TIY in the top 3!

I think there is going to be some huffing and a lot of falling out here before the new album is out!

And just to add: Faster is not the best song on the album. It encapsulates the album and the era, but it ain't the best goddammit! If it wins I don't know what I'll do!! Probably bash the keyboard, have a wee cry, and then get a cup of tea and some dark chocolate digestives.

The Intense Humming of Evil was never counted, it never amttered, will never be.
On the final day of the short but sweet B-sides survivor Too Cold Here just pipped Sculpture of Man as the favourite.

This is probably the last easy day: http://www.strawpoll.me/14868448

Maybe someone a bit sensitive to cursing? This is a democratic vote, but it would be interesting to hear why someone dislikes it (or at least feels it's not as good as Revol!)

I actually voted for Of Walking Abortion today and I'm not afraid to say it! I'd miss it less than the other ones if I never got to hear it again. Ok, the ending is mega. And the riff is fantastic. and the chorus is brill... oh shit what have I done?!?!!

I don't know what they're scared of - or what they even enjoy.

You know what really bugs me about Yes is the last line or two of the chorus.

It is: "...old ladies that can't shout, can't scream / I hurt myself to get pain out"

when surely for the rhyme it should be:

"...old ladies that can't scream, can't shout / I hurt myself to get pain out."

Ok. That looks really juvenile to be moaning about it now that I've typed it out.

Revol - withdrawn traces, bye-bye.

It's not easy anymore. I like all these songs - but figuring out the worst of these is a chore in itself. I'm assured that Faster and Die in the Summertime aren't going anywhere anytime soon.

I'm using my vote to protest Faster being chosen the eventual winner by a passive electorate.

Faster is great but it's not my favourite song on the album. I'll be voting it off before the end (but not for a while yet)

There's a tie...
MAUSOLEUM vs THIS IS YESTERDAY
Mausoleum has amassed more votes over all days, and so becomes song number 4 to be eliminated.

Today's poll is: http://www.strawpoll.me/14883314
