I'm not sure if this will take off, but since the forum hasn't been very lively recently, I figured I'd try to have some fun.

Everyone who decides to play will vote for their least favorite song once a day from the group of songs listed.  By the end of the day, the song with the most votes will be eliminated.  I will do this for each album until there is one song standing, at which point, we will move on to the next album.  After we have completed their catalogue, I will take the songs voted off first and do another elimination to find the LEAST favorite song, and I will take the songs that won to find the MOST favorite song.  I will be doing two albums at once to make this a little quicker.  The order will look like this:

TTF and AD
ISM and Z
EU and Circuital
EPs
-------
Most Favorite and Least Favorite

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rules

Each person can only cast one valid vote per group each round.

I will announce when a round ends.

I will aim to have around 10-12 votes cast before I end a round.  Hopefully once this picks up, I will be able to start a new round every day.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

If this turns out well, it will be interesting to see the forum's favorite song per album, least favorite song per album, and most and least favorite altogether.  TTF should prove to be extra tough for the forum if I had to guess. 

I hope everyone decides to play!
I wonder why we listen to poets when nobody gives a fuck

Even the first round is hard to pick, since I love all of these songs. TTF is especially hard.  That really is a stellar album.

My votes:

Twilight
Smashes Down

Seems this might be a bad time for this game.  So many people have stopped coming to the forum, preferring FB.  It'll pick up as the new album nears release and a tour is announced.

For me, its the "ifs"... and I love these songs.  Just picking my least favorite today.  Tomorrow, who knows... 

If All Else Fails
If It Smashes Down
The fact that my heart's beating is all the proof you need.

LB

is there a group on FB to join or is it hidden? For me I'll have to go with


the "untitled tracks" from each album if you know what I mean  :smiley:

but seriously,

Twilight
Smashes down
no you never gotta fight with me

Fully

I don't think I can pick since every single one of these songs on both these albums are priceless, but I'll try:
IWBTWYD
Strangulation

EverythingChanges

Thanks for playing!  I know the forum is a little dead atm, but I'm hoping enough people decide to join in for a little fun to tide us over until they drop some more news on the upcoming album.

Butch Cassidy
At Dawn

At Dawn reminds me of the music they play before they hit the stage. Just a teaser, and not really a song in my mind.

Update on Round 1:

I plan on ending this round Monday night, unless we don't have the votes.  Otherwise, we will wait until 10 votes are cast.

So...get your votes in by Monday!

I have also updated the rules section in the OP.

We have a tie between Smashes and Just Because I Do.  Someone break it!

Also, there is a tie between Twilight and By My Car.
