Open Secrets was eliminated? Huh, that's surprising to me. Another one of those really underrated deep cuts.

I guess I shouldn't be but I am amazed at the difference of opinion on these polls.

It's probably more that we all seem to be of the opinion that 'my faves are the best - what is wrong with you people?!'.

Or it's just the banter that people enjoy. Or both.

But after licking my wounds about Open Secrets being eliminated, I give you my order for this album (Best at the top):-

 

Open Secrets

Turn the Page

Prime Mover

Time Stand Still

Force Ten

Lock and Key

Mission

High Water

Second Nature

Tai Shan

 

To be honest, there's not much in it for me between the top 6 and the order could change on another day and Mission to Second Nature are good as well.

I get the feeling Mission is revered - don't understand why it's favoured over others if I've read the general feeling correctly but hey ho.

Do I vote to help save Prime Mover (Sorry Goose) or do I try and help a beleaguered Turn the Page (Sorry _hl_water) which is maybe a lost cause at this point.

 

B*gger it, I'll go the aid of Turn the Page to bring it down to -1 defecit equal to Prime and hope some othes see the light to help them both (- an unlikely outcome).

 

 

Immune - Turn the page

Elim - Mission

Easily the best song on this album and probably top 10 1980s Rush tunes for me.

 

I hope Turn the Page gets sent packing on this round.

Who the heck voted to eliminate Time Stand Still? I don't even...

I did :madra:

I don`t think Force Ten is amazing, but felt I should protect it, just in case. There`s a fair bit of schmaltz about TSS and Mission which makes them both likeable and vulnerable, but they don`t need my help yet.

Shit, "Prime Mover" might be eliminated before "Turn The Page"

Turn the Page might win the overall number 1 spot.

Remember, the immune option is no longer in play on the last 2 rounds.

The fix is in!

Prime Mover literally has Prime in the title. Its the best, Late 80s Rush in their prime, the Magnum Opus. For it to be eliminated before at least Top 3 would be slanderous!

Immune: Prime Mover

Eliminate: Turn The Page (I have turned the page and it says your time is up)

Open Secrets makes Celine Dion seem like death metal.

One of those match-ups you like could be in order? Actual death seems close to Celine though.

Mission loses. It has zero votes to immunize and three to eliminate.

 

Haven't heard Misson but it must be good to get four votes to immunize.

I'm surprised that the usual suspects haven't been piling on Force Ten, as it reflects the neo-ska of the Police that were so common on Grace Under Pressure, plus it's loaded with those wonky 80's Casio keyboard fills that haven't aged so well.

 

Time for Force Ten to be forced out?
