Prog Album Survivor! Version 1.0

Ok, here's a really cool idea I got from another forum I hit up every once in a while. It's called "Album Survivor!" and here's how it works:

You start by taking a CD and all the tracks from that CD. For experimental and thread-starter purposes, let's take a undisputed classic album: King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King.

21st Century Schizoid Man
I Talk to the Wind
Epitaph
Moonchild
In The Court of the Crimson King

Now, the point of album survivor is to truly find out which is the "best" song on the album (not a very experimental way of doing things, but it's damn fun!) All you have to do is post the song that, out of the choices remaining, you would choose to get kicked off the CD. After, say, five votes are tallied for a song, that song gets kicked off the album, and its back to square one, with all votes restarting. Only the forum starter (ME!) will post the full ist of songs with updated votes every few moments. The last two songs remaining must get ten votes to get knocked off.

I will start things off:

My vote is for "Moonchild"

21st Century Schizoid Man
I Talk to the Wind
Epitaph
Moonchild - 1
In The Court of the Crimson King

As you can see, simply post just the song you want kicked off the CD. At five votes, the song is kicked out, and the race is restarted with the remaining songs, all back to zero votes. The final song standing is, thus, the "best" song on the album! Yay, fun!
If there are any questions, please ask them before voting

So....let's get it on!


Current Standings:

21st Century Schizoid Man
I Talk to the Wind
Epitaph
Moonchild - 1
In The Court of the Crimson King


Edit: Moved by me from the polls section to here. Disregard the thread in the polls section on the same thing!

how peculiar

I'd have to also vote Moonchild off the album.

Moonchild is what makes this album a non classic for me, up to that point and beyond it, the album is perfect, then it all gets sucked away by that pointless noodling in Moonchild, so ya know where I stand..

moonchild is really interesting harmonically..when im stoned. but then again, the begining part, i really love.

but my vote will go to..21st century schizoid man, i must say i dont care too much for that song, its like instrumental diarhea.

I would rank them in this order:

21st Century Schizoid Man
In The Court of the Crimson King
Epitaph
I Talk to the Wind
Moonchild

As this is effectively a poll, with little discussion about the album, I've moved it to prog polls.

After this point Moonchild gets 5 points so is voted off

so

21 st century SM   1
I Talk to...      2
Epitaph
ITCOTCK    1

I dont undrstand Rovers vote or Bob Greeces, so I havent included them yet!

I voted Talk to the wind..

I'm thinking the songs would get kicked off in this order

Moonchild, I talk to the Wind, Epitaph, 21st C. Schizoid Man, ITCOTCK

I'll second that.
