All these songs are great. I don't like "Attawapiskat" quite as much, so it gets my vote, but it was a reluctant one.
DRIP, DRIP, DRIP.

The album looks much stronger with the dreck eliminated. This list shows what a good record it is.
I went with the title track, which bores me.

I do enjoy About This Map here and there, however the repetition of the song title usually gets under my skin.
I have always loved Done & Done (love the transition into Attawapiskat). I'll never vote for D&D.

Done and Done. Done.
Re: The Weakest Link - Now For Plan A - Round 2 - Killer Whale Tank - 03-28-2018
I don't know why people can't hear "Done and Done." It's an excellent song, a masterful use of minimalism to make a powerful point. I linked it on an Elvis Costello forum where people have never heard of The Tragically Hip and one guy at least was blown away. That said, we are getting to the point where any vote is a vote against a strong cut.

I like Done and Done...but as you say, you gotta vote for one of these songs. I'm surprised to see the votes piling up for Man Machine Poem - a song that, for me, is as interesting and as fresh as anything they did in the second half of their career. For a band that sometimes took heat for not being experimental enough with their sound, this one stands out. It's up there as one of my favs on this record. I'll be sad if goes this round.

Wow, MMP is on the chopping block next? By far the best track, IMO. A bit blown away.

Done & Done, just never been a fan of it
Re: The Weakest Link - Now For Plan A - Round 2 - Escape@Hand - 03-28-2018
It's been so interesting to see the vast differences in opinions on the songs for the last few albums. I think that speaks to the transformation (no pun intended) of the bands music, and how we as fans relate to those changes. I really don't understand the hate for Streets Ahead, I think it's a great rock tune and was surprised to see it go in the first round. Vote Done and Done, again, as it's the track I skip more than others from this album.

Voting against MMP is clinically insane IMHO :wink:

About this map would be my dark horse on this album, have always enjoyed the guitars setting the tone and Gord's vocals.
The repetition of NFPA is why the album gets under the other hip albums in my rankings.
Only half of the polling stations have reported, so lets not freak out about MMP ... yet
Im trying to decide between NFPA and we want to be it. Which song do I like less, more?

Ended up voting Done and Done. These next rounds are gonna be painful, as those are all quality songs.
Re: The Weakest Link - Now For Plan A - Round 2 - fingernailsonhull - 03-28-2018
Yeah this is actually a pretty strong list. Done and Done got my vote. Next will either be About This Map or MMP (even though I quite like both songs).
