Round 1 saw Lionized as the clear choice to be removed with both The Wherewithal and We'll Go Too earning enough votes to be eliminated as well. Here we go with Round 2!
Eliminated Round 1:
Lionized
The Wherewithal
We'll Go Too
As before, vote for the song you believe to be the weakest on Fully Completely and after 72 hours, we will remove the three songs that have the most votes. As before, a song must have at least 10% of the vote in order to be removed otherwise it will carry forward into the following round.
With the change of location I'm going to keep this open for 72 hours so the poll will end Monday at 10:19am Eastern.
Happy voting!
Shane

I thought the Wherewithal would have at least made it through the first round - I love that tune

As good as it is, Eldorado doesn't have a hope in hell of surviving this round. It'll be a "Twist My Arm" type massacre.

The Wherewithal. Perhaps a decent song, but mired in early 90s big hard rock production values. IMHO, its sound has not aged well. A clear goner for me. This round is infinitely more difficult for me...but I’m going with Looking For A Place To Happen.

I like "The Wherewithal" as well and was sorry to see it go. Classic Hip construction, hard-driving and catchy. Its lyrics are particularly intriguing too. True, the production values are problematic, but that's true of most songs on the record.
The reality is, though, that once you get past the obvious duds (Lionized and We'll Go Too) the rest of the album is so strong that voting any song off the island means voting a very good song off the island. There's no happy outcome.
I'm "El Dorado" here too, just because the other songs are all "big" songs, with huge themes and landmark status in the Hip canon. "El Dorado" is more of a minor work, a very fine digestif following the feast.

Does this mean Wheat Kings is gone too?

Wheat Kings and Pigeon Camera are sitting at 9% meaning they are likely one vote away from being evicted. At least "Locked" hasn't collected a vote this round... proper thing.
