But if it’s Daughter, then we don’t get Fixer for BS. In which case we’re looking to Johnny Guitar, which I can live with.

agreed. the problem is that it's going to up against tremor christ or cropduster.

I could see JG as the only BS song and from Vitalogy we still have Corduroy, Immortality and even, lets say, Better Man as must

Backspacer is one thing, but the existence of Lightning Bolt really throws a wrench into things.

I've tried to draft up a few different versions of this, and it always falls apart at the end.

This much is clear: this is not going to end well for anybody!

That isn’t how this works. This is only one song from each album. Once a song is voted on, the rest of the songs on that album are disqualified

Hey dumbass, if we pick "Go", then the rest of Vs. is off the table!

We're not picking best in slot, we're picking in a way that avoids being left with nothing but shitty songs that only Stip enjoys!
You must be joking. Go is a great song, Can't Keep isn't. There are lots of top songs on Riot Act, that could be great later on in this album. Every great album, needs a great opening track.

So your issue isn't about strategy, it's that you don't like Can't Keep. What an utterly pointless contribution. Go kick rocks, bud.

Can’t Keep is fine, it’s an awful start to the greatest Pearl Jam album, and half of Riot Act is better than it.

Fun concept. I missed the first few pages. I guess Lost Dogs won’t count. Once you get past day track 12 and there’s not much left, does a second song then come from an album? Does this de facto eliminate all tracks 13-15?

I just went back and looked at what we did last time. We did 1-11 and then a final 12th round that put together all tracks numbered 12 and above, even from albums that were already off the table. I think that sounds good.

But since they have 12 albums now, we're doing 1-12 followed by the free-for-all finale

I set the poll to last 2 days, so it runs til tonight. But it does feel a bit long. The next ones will only be one day.
