Unthought Known still being around tells you everything you need to know about this album.

Unthought Known should've been the first to go.

this is hard since after Force of Nature and The Fixer the rest of Backspacer is fairly undifferentiated for me. Really like em all (except Supersonic)

Gonna vote out Got Some for Johnny Guitar though. They've got nothing else quite like that

Got Some is the only song I ever come back to from this album. I've probably listened to Johnny Guitar all the way through once.

Vote to eliminate JG.

I appreciate JG more than I like it. It's fine and respectable as an artifact, a weird little blip in the overall PJ canon. There aren't really any songs like it and I respect that. But it doesn't 100% work for me.

Got Some works but is a little generic.

Both songs should have probably been eliminated a while ago. But here we are and I just don't care which one wins out. Good luck to both!

I voted to eliminate Johnny Guitar. I know the cartoon of him in this song is skinny but I like Got Some better.
