The Weakest Link - The Weakest Links - Round 1 - gsmacleod - 11-01-2018

For the last of The Hip Weakest Link polls, we are going to turn the voting around; instead of voting for the song you think is the weakest, you are going to vote for the song you think is the strongest. We will then eliminate the song with the most votes and continue until we are left with the "champion" - the weakest song in the discography.

Vote for the song you feel is STRONGEST from the list. After 48 hours we will remove the song with the most votes and move on to round 2. In the event of a tie, both (or more) songs will be eliminated.

This round will end Saturday at 9:45am Eastern.

Happy voting,

Shane

How the hell did fireworks beat the rules?


I'm guessing we can just give this one to werewolf and call it a day.

I need to split my vote 5 ways. Despite being the voted the weakest from their respective albums there are so many great songs here.

At least Werewolf is amusingly bad. Pretend just grates.

For me, it's a toss up between Lionized and Born In The Water.

Went with Lionized... surprised there's no votes for Born In The Water yet!

Voting for the best! An interesting twist! My favourites from the list (in order of release date) are:

Another Midnight
Summer's Killing Us
Frozen in My Tracks
Modern Spirit

May they all exit this poll quickly!

I've never understand how Impossibilium isn't a cult favourite.

"roses are worth more dried than alive,
such a you thing to say"

I misread the concept and I misvoted.

I do not think Wild Mountain Honey is the strongest. I think Hot Mic is the strongest of this batch.

"roses are worth more dried than alive,

The problem with Impossibilium is that the above lyric is the only memorable one in the song. The song splits demerit points with "Emergency" for repeating "Finger starts to wiggle and landscapes emerge" (it seems jammed into the lyrics here) and also gets a strike against it for the Seussian "We lift the rocket out of the pocket nothing can stop it we can only watch it". The whole song feels like it was thrown together at the last minute. My vote is the lone one for Hot Mic, top four for me on MMP.
