Doesn't really matter at this point, Locked is the strongest of the three.
bends is right. I voted against 'Pigeon.' 100th is awesome, in every sense of that term and therefore can only be beaten by Locked.
Locked is looking unstoppable right now. 21 votes in and not one against it. I would be surprised to see a song on any of the other albums be as dominant as this... maybe My Music at Work in the M@W poll?

Tiger The Lion would like a word with you...

Lake Fever and Stay are right behind him cracking their knuckles, ready to rumble
FC and Courage gone!
It's so frustrating that people have their own opinions.
My only consolation is knowing that anyone who votes for Escape on PP will be banned.

:lol: I have a feeling these polls are going to get far more vicious on the albums to come

I wouldn't want to find myself alone in a dark alley with Tiger the Lion. That is one scary, badass tune! I'm very interested to see how Tiger performs in the M@W poll.
From a record company perspective, or even the band's perspective, among Hip albums I can't imagine there was ever an easier choice for first single than My Music at Work off M@W. With FC, for example, you could make a strong case for at least 8 songs being the first single. Tiger, an amazing tune where Paul and Rob take the band off-road, would have had a difficult time getting traction on radio, something that might have mattered to the band 17 years ago. Not that single choices are entirely reflective of song quality, but I do think My Music at Work should win the M@W poll. And if Tiger does, I will be surprised but in no way disappointed.

"Lake Fever" tapped me on the shoulder & said they have a few comments also :wink:
I'm also excited to get to Man Machine Poem.
I am a really big fan of Pigeon Camera, especially that live acoustic version that was floating around with the great slide work... but of the 3 left it was the one I voted on.
When all the albums have been done, having a weakest link round of the winners would be interesting. Brutal process to go through at the same time though.

Considering there is only one great song on that album, (Machine - and it's one of their best ever), it will be by far the easiest of all the albums. :lol:
FC, on the other hand, is their most solid front-to-back album, and it's been a lot harder to choose songs to knock off each round. I think if there were a "reverse" weakest link, where you had to vote on the best worst song of each album, FC would win out.
I think what will happen, as we get deeper into the mixed bag of the Hip's post-PP work, is that disagreements will widen and specific tunes will be more starkly polarizing. Everyone loves most of the songs on FC, but the zones of consensus will shrink and disintegrate once we hit their less popular stuff. It's gonna be...interesting :rambo: :mrgreen:
