it.

Alrighty guys... here's how this survivor will work - The TOP FOUR songs will go on to the finals, and to further expedite the survivor, the first round will allow you to vote off FIVE songs, and it'll last 2 days, just to make sure everyone will get their votes in. The songs with the most votes (depending on how many people have voted) will get voted out. I'm hoping to eliminate at least 3 songs here.

I'll allow you guys to change your votes for multi-vote rounds, but once we get to one-vote-per-round rounds, it'll be back to non-changing votes.

Five huh...

Well, to me...four are "no brainers"

Hairless Heart
The Waiting Room
Silent Sorrow in Empty Boats
Ravine

After that, it does get a little tougher.

I guess for my fifth, I'll go with In the Rapids.   But it's not an easy choice.

I'm expecting the 2nd part of the album to take a hit in the early rounds.

Back in NYC
Counting Out Time
The Lamia
Silent Sorrow in Empty Boats
Ravine

Back in NYC and The Lamia both make me feel weirded out, and yes, I know they'll both last in this survivor a long time.

FYI, Broadway Melody of 1974 was erroneously tracked as a 33 second instrumental on the 1990s remaster. I guess the song really starts with the "echoes of the Broadway Everglades" lyric.

Absolutely.  All my favorite tracks are on Side 1.    Really, the only problem I've ever had with this entire album is that it doesn't end very strong.   Even it. is kindof meh to me.    Probably would have been better as a single album.   But there are a few scattered jewels on disc 2.

I figured the super short Broadway Melody of 1974 was the obvious first out, but I guess I was wrong.

And while Disc 2 might not be as great as Disc 1, it is still pretty great.

Disc 1 is much better than Disc 2.

Riding the scree.

Riding the scree was a tough one. It was up against hairless heart and just barely won. This is one of my favorite albums of all time.
