In The Time Of My Ruin wins the Survivor game. Which is something we expected from the beginning. Makes you wonder why we bothered...
FYI, the songs from most to least consensual go like this:
In The Time Of My Ruin
Elijah
Fitzgerald
The Real El Rey
Don't Cry That Way
It's Just Not Your Moment
Sad Old World
Fare Thee Well
Highway To Lowdown
Holland Town
Where The Wind Is Going
My Terrible Ways
Down To You
Kiss My Ring
I'd say Ring is way underrated, but I'm pleased with the overall result.

That's a pretty fair list of best-to-worst songs on the disc. But I'm still surprised that My Terrible Ways is so low on the list. I wonder, though, how some of these survivor games would go if they were played one or two years after the release. My FB faves are constantly changing, as I discover new things in his songs, and burn out on others.
Denis, are you going to put the disc 1 winner against the disc 2 winner for a grand champion?

Well, when the site started and the survivor games started, we did Pixies albums, and all the other FB albums, so those albums weren't as knee-jerk as this one may have been. I find myself rarely agreeing w/ the Survivor winners.

Well, so be it. That order does not even come close to reflecting my opinion of the album.

Indeed, thanks to Denis, who managed to have twins while running the two FMRM Survivor contests. Merci beaucoup.

I suppose those previous winners grenrally reflect my opinion of previous albums.
But 'Speedy Marie'? It's usually the song I skip most often on TOTY, I never realised how popular it was.

I wouldn't argue much with many of those, but I'm surprised about the Pistolero winner. I'm too lazy to check, but Billy Radcliffe must have been right up there on that one.

This ESP thing's getting crazy. I just finished putting on my boots and booking my flight. :)

really, the 'search'-function doesn't work that great
(maybe it's my browser)
and it's a lot of work, so thanks anyway!

Survivor winners sounds like a great idea for a podcast...
