Long Road Out of Eden Survivor

[sodascouts]

Time for the Long Road Out of Eden Song Survivor! If you're new, for a basic overview of the game, see this post: Survivor Overview

I'm going to list the songs of Long Road Out of Eden here. Vote for the song that you feel should be eliminated from the list. The song that gets the most votes will be taken off of the list (or, in the language of Survivor, "Voted off of the island.") Each round, one more song will get axed, until there's only one left. Remember: you're voting for your LEAST favorite, not your favorite.

Each round will last 48 hours after posting to give people a chance to vote who don't post every day. That means that the first round will end at 8:00 Eastern time the day after tomorrow. If you miss a round, don't think you can't play. It's all good!

Since there may be discussion posts, be sure to make it clear when you are casting your vote. Votes cannot be cast after the cut off time of 8:00 on the second day, and they cannot be changed once you have voted.

While these games can get heated, remember it's all in good fun. You can debate the merits of a song, but don't badger people who don't vote the same way you do.

If you get confused about what round we are in, look at this post. I'll always update it to reflect the current round. Also feel free to post any questions if you don't understand what's going on.

If there is a tiebreaker, then ALL votes from ALL previous rounds are tallied and whoever has the most prior votes is eliminated. That’s the way it’s done on the real show, that’s the way it’s done here. If there is a complete tie with prior votes (Murphy’s Law), then I'll have a sudden-death trivia question ready. The first person who answers it correctly gets to break the tie. The odds of that happening are slim, but you never know, and it's good to be prepared.

The tie-breaker question will be asked one hour after results are in, if there is need for it. The exception is the last round. If the tie-breaker does not resolve the last round, then the tie will be allowed to stands.

Note: In order to avoid voter fraud and trolling, we require that you must be "a member in good standing" as defined by the Terms of Service for at least two weeks before the start of the game in order to cast a vote.

GAME OVER!

I'll go ahead and cast my vote first.

I cast my vote for Frail Grasp on the Big Picture.

I don't think it has much of a melody (especially the "love-drunk friend" verse, which at points just seems like Don talking in a way that only vaguely aligns with the music) and it's got a mean-spirited tone to some of the lyrics that leaves a bad taste in my mouth. The use of the organ when speaking of religion is also very trite.

It's one of only two songs that I dislike on what I consider to be a strong album.

[NOLA]

I'm voting for I Dreamed There Was No War, because I'm not a fan of instrumentals on Eagles' albums. I want to hear their voices!

[AlreadyGone95]

I'm voting for I Love To Watch a Woman Dance

It's the only song on the album that I always hit the skip button on. I just don't like it at all.

[Freypower]

Fast Company

I've never liked it.

[LuvTim]

I'm going to go ahead and vote with AG on this one:I Love To Watch a Woman Dance

[deb828]

Fast Company

[UndertheWire]

Frail grasp on the big picture

He's like an obnoxious teacher telling off the class but I don't have to sit quietly and take it.

[GlennLover]

I vote Fast Company. I don't like the falsetto and the repetition.

[scottside]

I vote for "Frail Grasp On The Big Picture." I like every single song on the two discs, but there's three or four that are weaker than the rest in my opinion. This is one of those.
