Jazz-rock conspiracy? Zappa and Miles played at the same festivals in the
summer of '69 right BEFORE Hot Rats AND Bitches Brew were recorded.

Bridges is easily my choice, but I'll wait for a tactical vote.

'Blind Faith' would have been one of my first choices.

Blind Faith is one of the best songs DT has ever written! In The Presence of Enemies is good, but could probably have ben cut down a little bit, and is the 'weakest' song here.

Bridges is not good enough to make to the finals; not at all. But I'm voting for Enemies to save Blind Faith.

Well, since Breaking All Illusions got eliminated in the last A round, something from their new album should be represented in the finals. It's their best album in years!

I'm not happy that BAI got eliminated, but the other songs in that round were just too strong. I wish Bridges would have been in that leg, and BAI was in this one.

I've gained new respect for Enemies (still some of their worst lyrics) but the instrumental passages are some of their best.

Would normally have gone for Fatal Tragedy, but voting for Enemies to save Blind Faith.

I really love all the options here. If I have to vote for something, it would be Fatal Tragedy or Bridges in the Sky... but don't really know which one. And waiting for a tactical vote won't do any good, because I like all the songs... unless Octavarium, or perhaps Learning to Live, were threatened, which i don't think will happen in this round. OK, I'll go with Fatal Tragedy, so as to not get the "Dramatic Turn of Events" fans angry.

I voted for enemies so I could save Blind Faith, which is one of the best songs of DT. In the other hand, Bridges should be the obvious choice here, but everybody took a tactical vote. So I think I can save this wonderful tune. 
Change the program inside... Stay in silence is a crime.
