Elimination

[BH]

Am I the only one that thinks this will never end?

No it won't, because whenever a song gets to only one, I am going to feel sorry for it, and vote for it.  I'm not proud of it, but it's just who I am.

[BH]

Oh, and wait till you guys see Anytime live in person as a show closer and it grabs ahold of you and kicks your ass for treating it so poorly. ;)

[ycartrob]

yep, I am a little lost on 2 opposite ends here.  The Can You See The Hard Helmet on My Head? end and the Anytime end.

I guess it's just me, but I listened to Can You See The Hard Helmet on My Head? a couple more times last night, and it just doesn't leap out at me.

Anytime is a great song.

Anytime is a great song.

I think I like Helmet mostly because of that intoxicating drum beat.  And also because of the way Jim pauses and stretches out the last word of each line.   sweeee eeeet, etc.
But I think another part of it, is the fact that this was the 3rd album that I purchased behind ISM and Z and it was at time when I was just overwhelmed with jacketness.  I'm not sure what it is, but there is just something about all of the opening songs to MMJ albums that just gives you this feeling like, "OK, strap in, here we go on another chilling ride with the boys"  It's the same with all of the openers, Weeks Go By, Tonight, At Dawn, Heartbreakin Man, Wordless, etc.  They signal my body to what's yet to come.

Wow, that was kinda cheezy.  Yet, true, none the less.

Couldn't agree with you anymore BH ;) 8)

I know just what you mean.
It is who you are.
Be proud of it  :D

Again, I repeat what I said on page 2 of this thread.  THis is going to take FOREVER.  We have to cut these #'s in half or find a new way to do this.  Also, we will be here until next year because once Person A says no to 'Anytime' , person B (whos devoted to Anytime) will bounc right back and keep it in play.  If we keep the #'s closer for a range of 0-5 (instead of 10-15), this leaves more chance for non-regular voters to come and and knock a song out before one of the regular voters retatiates by keeping a song in for so long.  Make sense at all?
If not, have fun sitting here for 20485858 more pages of this craziness.  The numbers we have now would be great for a forum with 24832 active users, but we are a small family here, so lets make the #'s more applicable to our needs and make this elimination contest last within a reasonable amount of time.

[aMD]

for what it's worth these songs are consistently the most viewed songs on my tabs website:

1. Golden
2. One Big Holiday
3. Magheeta
4. Off the Record
5. Gideon / Wordless Chorus

That doesn't necessarily mean these are the most popular but at least the ones people most want to learn to play on guitar.

so sad for At Dawn/TTF
