It might be too early but you know we got to do this eventually.

Primrose
You’re So Impatient
Jane The Night the Zombies Came
Chicken
Hypnotised
Johnny Good Man
Motoroller
I Hear You Mary
Oyster Beds
Mercy Me
Ernest Evans
Kings of the Prairie
The Vegas Suite

This is one on my favorite FBF albums over 34 years of listening so it’s hard to kill any of these gems

Feel free to cast the first stone

Easy for me as I don't like most of these songs.

Chicken.

Ernest Evans really rocks, but I could get someone wanting to cut it loose first. I might go along with that.

Chicken is way too good a song for me to even consider til the very end.

Hypnotised (s that UK spelling with the s not z?) makes me think of Miley Cyrus type music if it was done by Frank, I really dig it.

I just can't vote yet.

Anyway, it's super early, we need to give more forum members time to catch up before we come close to certifying the first round

It's too early, but if you put a gun to my head then Hypnotised.

I can understand this being your vote, but I got to tell you I was listening to Ernest Evans today in the car and it was reminding me of TOTY,

Oof it's way too early, haha.

Probably either Hypnotized or Mary, I'll try to decide soon. Mary is *probably* the better song but suffers from production issues.

Bedbug, you're not alone in Ernest Evans reminding you of TOTY!

You're So Impatient frustrates me, because if you're going to do a dumb rocker to pick the album's energy up, make it really fucking crazy and cool and fun, but it's just boring.

I'd vote for Impatient after Chicken.

Listened again last night and have decided on Mary - a song that has gothic potential but gets a bit bogged down in classic rock and overproduced choruses.

Maybe we will start the first round of voting on Election Day. If that’s enough time for everyone to be ready. Tell your FBFriends and tell them to join in

Two tight elections today.

Mary and Hypnotized neck and neck with 2 votes apiece, with Chicken, You're So Impatient, Oyster Beds (madness), and Ernest Evens not far behind.

Yes everyone here we go!

Voting officially starts today

I believe we have traditionally done one week between rounds? Is that right? Too long / short?

Thanks Brank for compiling the votes up to this point and for co-leading this election.

I"m going to go with I Hear You Mary myself, so it looks like we are here so far:

Primrose - 0
You’re So Impatient - 1
Jane The Night the Zombies Came - 0
Chicken - 1
Hypnotised - 2
Johnny Good Man - 0
Motoroller - 0
I Hear You Mary - 3
Oyster Beds - 1
Mercy Me - 0
Ernest Evans - 1
Kings of the Prairie - 0
The Vegas Suite - 0

Let the people speak, and let us know your votes (and always feel free to double check my math)

Mary is another song that has Fastman Raiderman verses, but then a dumb Dalgety chorus.

I don't enjoy it, and I'll throw a vote towards it. But I still think Chicken bothers me more, because Mary at least has nice lyrics.

It's totally up to you, but I'd recommend making today the deadline for round 1, as we've already done a week, most of the active forum members have voted, and Mary seems to be running away with the vote. Probably better to keep some momentum going by starting round 2 tomorrow?

Sounds good to me.

We may not know who won the US election by tomorrow, but we will at least know the first TNTZC song not to survive.

Any stragglers please get your votes in by end of day, and for those who already voted please be ready with your second victims.

My next tier consists of: You're So Impatient, Hypnotized, and Johnny Good Man.

I'm going to go with Hypnotized. While it's grown on me, the Joey-penned lyrics are particularly weak. This isn't to throw shade on Joey, I believe in a recent interview he mused what is Charles smoking getting him to write lyrics. This might be a small thing, but while I like the transition from the upbeat to slow sections, the phaser effect that marks the transition makes me cringe.

Johnny Good Man.

I think I hate it.

Otherwise, Hypnotized.

That's right, Chicken is moving up for me, only because the music is OK.

Yeah I think Hypnotised as well. Just a bit bitty compared to the others.
