Since this forum seems to be lacking in the whole "let's post some thoughts/opinions/stupid shit/anything really" category, I thought we'd have some fun and do a Survivor game with one of Phil's albums. Other music forums have done this to death, but it’s always a good time so let's try our hand at it. The rules are simple: everyone gets to vote for their least favorite track once per round, at the end of the round the votes are tallied and the one with the most votes is sent packing, we go about this until there is one song left standing or until it is realized that no one else cares but me (highly probable  ). I would have set the game up for "The Glow Pt. 2", but that album has its clear favorites unlike "Don't Wake Me Up". "It Was Hot We Stayed in the Water," or "Wind's Poem" might have been better options, but we can always do those later. Let's see where this takes us. The tracks are: Ocean 1,2,3 Florida Beach Here With Summer Where It's Hotter Pt. 3 I'm Getting Cold I'll Be In there Air Tonight There Will Be Clouds You Were In the Air What Happened To You It Wouldn't I'm In Hell Don't Wake Me Up Sweetheart Sleep Tight Instrumental I Felt You P.S. - Feel free to chime in with why you voted for a particular track. Above all remember this is all for fun and is by no means a critique of Phil's work. In my eyes it's perfect! |

My first vote goes to Instrumental. Although it's a nice bridge between Sweetheart and I Felt You, to me it's the easiest song to let go of in the first round. I do love the eerie breathing over the fuzzy guitars and pounding drums.
I should also mention that each round's voting will be left open for a week. This will be dragged out for almost four months, hooray fun times!!!
Anyone else think I should have used a poll instead of counting up votes myself?

Yeah, Instrumental is the most unneeded tack, even though I do enjoy it.

After hours upon hours of counting and recounting the kick goes to Instrumental with four votes. Now things get harder from here with 14 great songs left. I decided to keep the survivor game in this thread rather than creating an addition 14 redundant threads.
So the remaining candidates are:
Ocean 1,2,3
Florida Beach
Here With Summer
Where It's Hotter Pt. 3
I'm Getting Cold
I'll Be In there Air
Tonight There Will Be Clouds
You Were In the Air
What Happened To You
It Wouldn't
I'm In Hell
Don't Wake Me Up
Sweetheart Sleep Tight
I Felt You
Please vote everyone.

I'll have to say Sweetheart Sleep Tight. This is only the second elimination and it was already a tough decision.

I'll have to say Sweetheart Sleep Tight. This is only the second elimination and it was already a tough decision. I know right. I'm already looking forward/not looking forward to round three. I have no idea what I'll vote for. It's going to be interesting from here on out. |

Sigh, after consulting with a think tank of mathematicians and statisticians, it has been concluded that the last round was a tie between "I'm in Hell" and "Sweetheart Sleep Tight" with each grabbing one vote. I really didn't plan for a tie, or plan for such a poor voter turn out rate....so I’m just going to scrap the whole survivor aspect of the game. This will be the last round, so just vote for your favorite song off the album. "I'm in Hell" and "Sweetheart" have been eliminated.
Remaining songs:
Ocean 1,2,3
Florida Beach
Here With Summer
Where It's Hotter Pt. 3
I'm Getting Cold
I'll Be In there Air
Tonight There Will Be Clouds
You Were In the Air
What Happened To You
It Wouldn't
Don't Wake Me Up
Instrumental
I Felt You
My vote goes to Where It's Hotter Pt. 3

lol super
Okay it's all over now. In a landside victory "Where It's Hotter Pt. 3" took the crown. It is now everyone's indisputable favorite song off Don't Wake Me Up. Thanks to everyone that voted for their participation. Everyone else can go on to continue to pretend that this thread didn't exist. I'm fairly certain that it did though.

ocean is clearly better though Could be (subjectively), but this scientific poll seems air tight to me (objectively). Simple arithmetic. My favorite song is now your favorite song, tada! You're welcome sir. |
