Last round, ladies and gentlemen! This will run for TWO DAYS, just to get as many votes as possible. After this round, I'll run a single 2-day round for the "Worst Of The Worst" Survivor, which I think I'll run as letting everyone get 3 votes out of the 15 last-placed songs from the 15 studio albums.

Thanks again to everyone who has participated in this long endeavor with me!

Both are great songs, but I don't see this as anything but a no-brainer. Supper's Ready is the quintessential Genesis song.

Firth of Fifth is my favorite Genesis song. So, Supper's Ready.

This is so hard, but i have to say supper's ready.

My two favourite Genesis songs. Really tough choice, but I'll go with Supper's Ready.

Firth Of Fifth

Supper's ready is SLIGHTLY better. I actually remember how unimpressed I was by Firth of fifth last time we did this survivor, I have no idea how it grew on me this much over a year or so, it was a very tough choice this time around.

Zydar · « **Reply #6 on:** October 02, 2012, 12:20:29 PM »

The solo section in Firth Of Fifth alone is among my very favourite music moments ever. I get chills each time I hear it.

Aarrghhhhhhhh this is so hard......

Supper's Ready.

I feel like I'm killing this. I see how Supper's Ready is the quintessential Genesis song, but Firth of Fifth is one of my favourite songs of all time, so I'll have to go with Supper's Ready. I'm sorry.

Your opinion is bad and you should feel bad!

EDIT - I did not expect this round to be so close!!! Looks like it might come down to one vote!

Supper's Ready

I can't believe it! It looks like supper's ready is actually going to lose! I didn't think that was possible.

Orbert · « **Reply #12 on:** October 03, 2012, 06:56:10 AM »

"Supper's Ready" gets lots of acclaim because it's their big epic, and it's a great song to be sure, but it has a bit of that British whimsy to it and I have to be in the right mood for it. I prefer "Firth of Fifth". I can pretty much listen to that song any time.

Dammit!!

I was going to vote for Firth, but my wife and son are sick (West Nile, believe it or not) and I've been in and out of doctor's appointments for the last few days! That would've tied it up! Then someone else with some common sense would also vote for Firth, making Supper's Ready the final Genesis survivor!

CRAP!

Pockets17red · « **Reply #18 on:** October 05, 2012, 11:16:12 AM »

Funny thing is that I accidentally voted for Supper's Ready and never found out how to change it to Firth of Fifth....

Orbert · « **Reply #19 on:** October 05, 2012, 11:23:30 AM »

West Nile Virus is a bummer, and I would not make light of it. And accidents can and do happen. But I think we can all console ourselves in knowing that the proper final choice was made.

Beowulf · « **Reply #20 on:** October 09, 2012, 02:40:55 PM »

That's where you're wrong, Orbert. We've just proven that due to timing and a "hanging chad" error, the wrong one was elected. Supper's Ready should've won by 2 votes.

But, what's done is done. At least we don't have to wait another 4 years to correct this mistake!

Orbert · « **Reply #21 on:** October 09, 2012, 02:58:12 PM »

But you misunderstand. Firth of Fifth is the better song and thus should have won, and it did. People would have voted for the wrong song, and the universe would not allow it. West Nile is pretty extreme, I know, but this is serious stuff. Very serious. You have no idea how serious I am, right now.

SomeoneLikeHim · « **Reply #22 on:** October 10, 2012, 12:10:12 AM »

He's right you know.

Zydar · « **Reply #23 on:** October 10, 2012, 01:31:15 AM »

There must be some misunderstanding, there must be some kind of mistake?

DebraKadabra · « **Reply #24 on:** October 10, 2012, 01:50:23 AM »

No reply at all.

Orbert · « **Reply #25 on:** October 10, 2012, 07:04:51 AM »

Hey, I know what I like.

SomeoneLikeHim · « **Reply #26 on:** October 10, 2012, 08:18:12 AM »

Orbert I know him, and I know he's right.
