Under no circumstances should frigging Territories be played live.

 

When else can I go out and smoke pot?

 

my friend had some of the spice shit back when it was still legal in georgia and we went off and smoked it before goin in at atlanta...talk about f***ing crazy. I think we were the stupidest looking people there

You gotta figure that at least 8 of the votes against CoS last time were actual votes, and not tactical ones like Bowl-City's futile yet entertaining attempt to save Counterparts. If you add in some CP-haters who naturally would go against CoS next and some CA defenders, I suspect it will take at least 16 votes to kill an album not named CoS. I'd prefer it to be HYF or PoW (whatever my contractually obligated voting says), but if it's CA, that is better than killing the beauty of CoS.

 

But as the anti-hard rock brigade has been caucusing for weeks, I think people who would rather see PoW, HYF or CA go should get together, or concede that the forces of evil are too great in the world to overcome.

 

17 for CA. Is it enough?

 

As a result of all the CP hating here, I listened to both CP and HYF today. It would be tough for me to rank CP in my top 10, but to see it gone with HYF and PoW still there... There was a definite sense of momentum lost (at least in radio play and rock recognition) when those two 80s records were released. Since both those records seemed to reach for a more pop sound, that seemed to backfire...

 

A fan pointed out the melodies on CP were weak, fair point, but it's a hard rhythm album reminiscent of the Seattle sound progressing in the early 90s. The regression of the keys really opened up the bass, and Ged's natural CP singing was his purest, truest since his 70s ethereal screaming. What followed CP is a nearly 20 year style change, that still has yet to reverse. It is significantly underestimated the mark change CP brought for the band, and it plays to the band's strengths, which is the exact opposite of the late keyboard era.

What I like aboot these "stupid" polls is that I find my self revsiting entire albums, some after a decade. I get to stray away from my iTunes fantasy tour play list. I'm going to fire up Power Windows right aboot now.

 

Yeah, there's usually shifts for me. This last round T4E went up and PoW went down (started near the bottom so it didn't have far to fall to reach it). A few posts ago PoW was called an anachronism. Good word for it.

Poor CA! It didn't deserve such an early demise.

 

The question is, what dies next, HYF or PoW? I'd go with PoW, but I think HYF will be more of a target based on more synths and lighter music.

I go with Power Windows too, but I know it's a big favorite around here, so it might last a few more rounds.

 

In any event, Caress of Steel is better than HYF and PoW combined. In my opinion, which obviously isn't the majority here.

CoS still needs to go before those synth-era albums.

 

It'll go next. looking at past results. it's sure to be next.

CoS had the same number of votes the last two rounds. So unless the people who voted for CA hate CoS, it could survive again. Also, I suspect a few people who voted for CA did so to protect CoS.

I know different tastes but......COME ON.'

I feel like that quite often here, not understanding how many prefer one song/album to another, but that's the way it is.

 

Ya know i was ggonna say my feeling for Ca is kinda like You and Hemispheres, lol.

 

In reverse though.
