 Topic: YES/ABWH Elimination Tournament Round 3
Posted: February 12 2007 at 15:56 |
OK!...after the run-off, Union has been voted out!
Again vote for the studio album you like LEAST....
History of elimination so far:
Round 1: Big Generator
Round 2: Union (After Run-off)
This poll will end at aproximately 12:30 pm EST on Thursday 2/15.
I apologize for getting behind so often on this poll so much. I have been extremely busy with both work & home tasks of late, but hopefully things will be settling down shortly....

Although I didn't vote for it this time I did in the last round and I did explain. This round I voted for the album that I think is the only one just as bad, Relayer. Some people just don't like certain albums and this isn't a discussion thread, maybe whoever else voted for it doesn't want to start an argument.

If I recall correctly this is how a similar elimination tournament
failed in the past, because everybody thought it would be fun to vote
out the highest rated albums first. If you don't like the album that's
fine, but it just seems to me that if you vote for it just for the heck
of it, it takes the fun out of it for everybody else...

Most excellent choice! No one has a kind word for this album I can't imagine why it hangs on. A vote fot Tormato is a vote for tommorow!

We get out of this tournament what we put into it.......if CTTE gets cut early, that's how it goes. If we want an accurate picture, we have to give accurate info. I am only hopeful that those who are voting against CTTE are doing so sincerely. It is my all time favorite album, but thatdoesn't mean everyone has to agree.
BTW discussion is highly encouraged!

I like it, well some of it anyway. "Release Release" and OTSWOF are pretty good. Just ignore "Circus of Heaven" and it's not too bad.

Don't get me wrong I like CTTE but it is tied with my least favorite Yes album. I'm hoping it makes an early departure at least not in the finals because I prefer so many different Yes albums

Wow...interesting choices tied for elimination so far...CTTE & 90125....Both strong albums in my book...but ...as I said ......we get out of the tournament what we put into it, and not everyone will agree with me.....(although I am working on that  )
