Seriously, though, my bottom four of the remaining 8 are all fairly even, so I wouldn't mind any of them going.
 
See, this is how the Survivors should be ran. We're blazing through this. And there's none of the bullshit no one cares about now like "Banana Co."
 
I can't even choose at this point. Once "All I Need" is gone, it's a crap shoot. "Let Down," "Airbag," and "Reckoner" are probably my favorites left.

But I love them all.

I still scratch my head over the fact that "Miscellaneous B-Sides" have double the amount of entries into the final as OK Computer.
 
My top 4 remaining are Airbag, Paranoid Android, Everything In Its Right Place, and Reckoner.

I just think it's pretty easy to eyeball which are the particularly lauded b-sides ("Gagging Order," "Talk Show Host") and which album tracks have absolutely no chance ("We Suck Young Blood," "Fitter Happier"). That's a very simple way of trimming it down. When these run for too long, people lose interest. I certainly did.
 
I'm hoping to have this wrapped up by the 2nd week of February if everything goes according to schedule.

I think the major problem this time around was the delays between rounds, some were ok, others went on for months :down:
 
I love All I Need, but I can live with it leaving at this point. The only songs that I like less from this list are Reckoner and Paranoid Android.

But really, everything left is pretty great, huh?

I'm voting Reckoner as it's the only other one that's likely to get eliminated here other than Pyramid Song, which I will try to preserve as long as possible.

Exactly. It would have been fine if there'd been no gaps.

you make a good point.

I'm conflicted though because while I support your love of Pyramid Song I oppose your dislike of Reckoner... You can see the bind I'm in.
 
what do you consider worse than All I Need?

1. Airbag
2. Fake Plastic Trees
3. Let Down
4. Pyramid Song
5. Paranoid Android
6. All I Need
7. Reckoner
8. Everything In Its Right Place

I honestly cannot see how All I Need is the worst song here. But apparently it is.
 
At this point, I'm over defensive voting. I LOVE ( :heart: ) each and every song up there, and most of the ones that were recently kicked out. So it doesn't really matter too much anymore. They're all great. Some just a tiny smidge more than others.

So, again, for the 3rd or 4th time: Pyramid Song
 
I like everything left except Everything in Its Right Place. Though Pyramid Song will be next after that.
 
1. Paranoid Android
2. Airbag
3. All I Need
4. Fake Plastic Trees
5. Reckoner
6. Let Down
7. Pyramid Song
8. Everything in Its Right Place

I think.
