[DeadliestPoison]

GO AWAY, SARA.

[ontheEdgeof17]

Well, looks like the other went down the ****ter :p


That's All For Everyone, again.


-Curt

[The Tower]

"Not That Funny" needs to go, go, GO!

[HomerMcvie]

DrownD Sara, drownD

[GypsySorcerer]

That's All for Everyone.

[GateandGarden]

I'm still trying to vote off "Walk a Thin Line."

Hillary

[sodascouts]

It's only fair "Honey Hi" goes first again, as it went before.

[Hawkeye]

That's All For Everyone

[golden braid]

That's All For Everyone

[Johnny Stew]

Out of twenty songs on the album, folks are voting off "Sara"... yet Carne was surprised that I was voting off "Save Me A Place."

Why isn't it a bigger surprise that people are voting off "Sara," of all songs?
Oh, nevermind... I know why. ;) :laugh:

Well, once again... I'm voting to boot "Save Me A Place."
Maybe at some point very soon, I'll get to vote for something else!

[jwd]

FLUSH THE SLUDGE..."Save Me A Place"

Save "Sara" from drownDing! :wavey:

[TISL]

Not That Funny

[Cristian]

Uhm, again... "That's All For Everyone"; easily the weakest spot in here.

[face of glass]

Transfer from the closed thread:
NOW BACK THE F*** OFF OF ANGEL!!!!! :mad: :laugh:
Ok, let's try to add something of an explanation for this for a change. ;)
I still think it's "veeeery, very good", don't get me wrong. But it is a weird mode for Stevie. You know the Tusk doc where she says that she set out to write something upbeat for a change because all of her songs are supposedly so serious. And still there is a certain darkness running through that I can't put my finger on.
My favourite bit is the end, that's when the guitar and the vocal start a little sparring match where they keep on spinning each other round and round. That's another classic Buckingham - Nicks dialogue. And I do think it worked very well live, you've probably heard the 11-6-1979 version with Stevie really going at it.
But yeah, I prefer the mushy stuff like the three Nicks ballads and the classic 'cock-rock (thanks David) of "Sisters Of The Moon" to it. "Angel", "Honey Hi" and "Save Me A Place" I would drop off first.

[face of glass]

So yes, "Honey Hi" again.

[Hawkeye]

Ok can I say something. I really think the conversations and the fights should be kept to very small minimum. Not because I and I'm sure others don't like them. It has to do with how cluttered and messy the thread can get. I'm sure it'll be much much easier for Jake to count votes when he does have to pass by one of Johnny Stew's or Face of Glass's or Dissentions NOVELS. Seriously it's like you guys have never heard of the expression "short and sweet" :laugh: Just a suggestion.

[SaraRhiannon]

Honey Hi once again!

[tynan88]

Honey Hi

Tynan

[xdreamsunwindx]

The most gag-inducing song of all time, which is, of course, Sara.

-Kate

[Wild_Heart03]

Not That Funny... not that good either! Goodbye!

[Hippocampus]

Not That Funny

[Sugar]

A stratigic vote for Sara...

I can't believe all the "Honey Hi" hate! :shocked:

[Patti]

Honey Hi. Then I'll get back to Save Me A Place.

[CarneVaca]

Out of twenty songs on the album, folks are voting off "Sara"... yet Carne was surprised that I was voting off "Save Me A Place."

Why isn't it a bigger surprise that people are voting off "Sara," of all songs?
Oh, nevermind... I know why. ;) :laugh:


Enlighten us, Johnny.

[CarneVaca]

All right, if we're going to place strategic votes, then I must vote for

SARA. Outta here, baby.

And remember,

SAVE SAVE ME A PLACE!
And that goes for you, too, Gaius.

[ryan8472]

SAVE ME A PLACE must die.

SAVE SARA!!!

[MirrorInTheSky]

Not That Funny

And do you think that they would have drug Sara out for concert after all these years if they thought people were going to vote it off of Tusk Survivor?? In the words of Fred Willard from "A Mighty Wind": I don't think SO!

[Dulcimer]

I am also going to vote to drop

Sara

[dougl]

Not That Funny!!! :eek:

[Bryan]

Sara. Totally strategic of course. :nod:

[ShamHy89]

Sara What is this, the 8th vote? :thumbsup:

Shamus

[dissention]

Sara

DorwnD already.

Darling, I voted for it because I just plain don't like it on the album. Live, it's beautiful. On Tusk? I can't stand it and always skip it. For me, the song just goes nowhere, whichever edit it is. Live is a different story because there's always something new or some little nuance that adds more flavor to it.

[Serrart]

Ok, back to reality against Sara ostracism:

I have to vote off Honey Hi

Romy

[Claudia]

Not That Funny

[chiffon head]

that's all for everyone

[Vianna]

Counting on my fingers, counting on my toes--The Ledge-outta here!

[Lala]

That's All For Everyone

SAVE SARA!

[Mari]

that's all for everyone

SAVE SAVE ME A PLACE!
SAVE SARA!

I happen to love both of 'em :shrug:

[CarneVaca]

that's all for everyone

What!? You're voting for a Lindsey song? Traitor!!

[DeeGeMe]

SAVE ME A PLACE must NOT be saved--it should be booted off the island and forced to swim for distant lands.

[Mari]

What!? You're voting for a Lindsey song? Traitor!!

Damn. Caught again. :sorry:

Ok ok ok.. for the rest of the Tusk contest I will vote off only non-lindsey songs (for as long as it is possible :p). Promised.

[sodascouts]

The rest of you - vote for Honey Hi - if you love Sara!

SAVE SARA!!!!

[Johnny Stew]

Why isn't it a bigger surprise that people are voting off "Sara," of all songs?
Oh, nevermind... I know why. ;) :laugh:

Enlighten us, Johnny.


I thought it was quite obvious... Lindsey didn't write "Sara," so that's why you're not surprised it's being voted against first, out of 20 songs. :p :laugh:

[Hawkeye]

well I'm not trying to save Sara but if you wanted to, it'd be best to vote for either Save Me a Place or Thats All For everyone.

[Johnny Stew]

Darling, I voted for it because I just plain don't like it on the album. Live, it's beautiful. On Tusk? I can't stand it and always skip it. For me, the song just goes nowhere, whichever edit it is. Live is a different story because there's always something new or some little nuance that adds more flavor to it.

That's fine. I can respect that.
As usual, we have opposite opinions though... I typically find it to be fairly boring when performed live, outside of a few notable exceptions over the years.
I was happy to see it back in the set (and I still think Stevie sang it better than she ever has, even if she didn't sing it quite as well as she sang "Beautiful Child"), because it hadn't been performed in so long... but I was never someone clamoring for its return.

Either way, it still surprises me that, out of 20 songs on the album, it's the first one you're gunning for. When I could swear you've said in the past that you don't really care much for most of Christine's songs on 'Tusk.' :shrug:

Ah well, to each his own... and if "Sara" goes in this first round (take 2), then it'll be the second time in a row that the best song on an album was voted off first, and another obvious example that there's just no accounting for taste. ;) :D

Meanwhile, from here on out I'll try to keep my dissertations to a minimum, per Hawkeye's very legitimate request. :)

[dissention]

I don't like her songs, but I don't dislike them any more than I do Sara. :shrug: They're all boring.

[face of glass]

Ok can I say something. I really think the conversations and the fights should be kept to very small minimum. Not because I and I'm sure others don't like them. It has to do with how cluttered and messy the thread can get.
Whenever I vote for the one that I want to leave the survivor game, I always create a separate post for it. I always try to put the round number as its header. I do not think it would be too confusing if people avoided creating long posts where they include their votes. Other than that, one should let the discussion go to wherever the posters want it to go.
But of course we could add something like "THIS POST IS NOT A VOTE" to every post that isn't related to the actual voting.
Seriously it's like you guys have never heard of the expression "short and sweet"
I have just as much right to elaborate on my thoughts and feelings as anyone does here. If anyone finds what I write a pain to read, they have all the rights to skip my post. And since I do not put my votes to my long posts, I can not see how Jacob would confuse them with the voting section of the thread.

Of course, we could always create real polls for these threads. The option is there when there's only ten songs left in each survivor. Of course, it would be nowhere near as fun, now would it? The public speculation is what makes this a hoot. ;)

Oh yeah, almost forgot: This Post Is Not A Vote. ;)

[CarneVaca]

I thought it was quite obvious... Lindsey didn't write "Sara," so that's why you're not surprised it's being voted against first, out of 20 songs. :p :laugh:

Actually I was surprised to see so many people dislike the song. I happen to like it. But I like Lindsey's songs on the record more. So I placed a strategic vote.

Assumptions have a funny habit of being wrong, Johnny. :nod:

[CarneVaca]

Ah well, to each his own... and if "Sara" goes in this first round (take 2), then it'll be the second time in a row that the best song on an album was voted off first, and another obvious example that there's just no accounting for taste.

"Best song on the album?" Not even close. It's a damn good song but, like it or not, this is Lindsey's album.

[Bryan]

I wish everyone would accept that we all have different taste here and stop their criticism of people's choices of what to vote off.Come on,just vote and leave it at that ! :)

[Johnny Stew]

Actually I was surprised to see so many people dislike the song. I happen to like it. But I like Lindsey's songs on the record more. So I placed a strategic vote.

Assumptions have a funny habit of being wrong, Johnny. :nod:

We have different approaches then. I don't vote out of "strategy"... I vote for the song I actually like less out of the choices available.

By the way, my comments are made out of the observation of habits and past behaviour... so they're never wrong. For example, the fact that you're willing to vote off a song you like more than others, just to save Lindsey's tracks. ;) :laugh:

[Johnny Stew]

"Best song on the album?" Not even close. It's a damn good song but, like it or not, this is Lindsey's album.

It might be Lindsey's album, in that he pushed for its production style to be progressive, off-the-wall, and a total left-turn from 'Rumours'... but, on the whole, the best songs are easily Stevie's (in my very humble opinion)... and that's what I'm voting on: The Songs. ;) :nod: :laugh:

[Wild_Heart03]

I wish everyone would accept that we all have different taste here and stop their criticism of people's choices of what to vote off.Come on,just vote and leave it at that ! :)

I second that! :nod:

[CarneVaca]

I save "strategy votes" for silly things like song contests. I go on principle when I vote for president, though. ;)

[Johnny Stew]

I wish everyone would accept that we all have different taste here and stop their criticism of people's choices of what to vote off.Come on,just vote and leave it at that ! :)

You're lucky I don't know you better, or I'd be teasing you for voting against "Sara," too. :p ;) :xoxo:

Seriously though, I respect what you're saying. (Even if I am still baffled that people would vote against "Sara," out of a choice of twenty songs. Talk about your conspiracies!!!) ;) ;)

[Johnny Stew]

I save "strategy votes" for silly things like song contests. I go on principle when I vote for president, though. ;)

Now see, THAT'S when a strategic vote would actually do some good! Silly man, you're all mixed up. :p ;) :laugh:

[CarneVaca]

, on the whole, the best songs are easily Stevie's (in my very humble opinion)... and that's what I'm voting on: The Songs. ;) :nod: :laugh:

I would think being wrong so much would be exhausting. :lol: :]

[Johnny Stew]

I would think being wrong so much would be exhausting. :lol: :]

I'll have to defer to your vast experience on that one. :laugh:

[CarneVaca]

I'll have to defer to your vast experience on that one. :laugh:

As the song goes, I Know I'm Not Wrong.

Pa pa pa pa pa-pa. Pa pa pa pa-pa pa-pa.

[Johnny Stew]

As the song goes, I Know I'm Not Wrong.

Ah, but Lindsey was being intentionally ironic when he said it. ;) :p

Ahem:
http://ledge.fleetwoodmac.net/showpost.php?p=188785&postcount=14
I do like "Family Man" quite a bit... but "strategery" is "strategery." ;)
Of course, I may have mis-interpreted your strategic use of an emoticon. ;)

(Just teasing you Johnny. :xoxo: )

[shackin'up]

Well,
I don't sell my soul like others do. If NTF or SMAP disappears I just don't understand my fellowfans and those songs shall be pearls for swines. But voting for Sara in round one, to me is so ridiculous that I can't stretch to a strategic vote.

So goodbye Honey Hi

[marc402]

Honey hi there you go again
from now one you are called : honey bye :p

[Johnny Stew]

Ahem:
http://ledge.fleetwoodmac.net/showpost.php?p=188785&postcount=14

:laugh:

Dude... do you have a photographic memory, or is there a file out there somewhere with everything I've ever said, that I should know about? ;) :laugh:


Of course, I may have mis-interpreted your strategic use of an emoticon. ;)

In the case of "Family Man"... while I like it considerably (and certainly considerably more than a lot of other people do), I decided that I liked all of the songs that it was up against even more. It's not like I said, "I like 'Family Man' more than other songs on the album, but I'm voting it off anyway."

'Sides, "strategery" is a comical reference to George W. Bush's mangling of the English language... and my use of the word was pointing to the fact that the whole sentence should be taken with humour. :)


(Just teasing you Johnny. :xoxo: )

Sure... bust my chops and then kiss my cheek! You're sleeping on the couch tonight, mister! ;) :p

[sodascouts]

Ah, but Lindsey was being intentionally ironic when he said [I Know I'm Not Wrong]. ;) :p
Actually, I take him perfectly seriously in that song. I'm not being sarcastic when I say that, either, lol. He's trying to reassure Stevie as well as himself that he's doing the right thing.

THIS IS NOT A VOTE. (lol Gaius)

SAVE SARA

Not That funny is one of my favorite songs. If I was the one to answer the question first, NTF would currently have immunity.

[Johnny Stew]

NO VOTE HERE.

Actually, I take him perfectly seriously in that song. I'm not being sarcastic when I say that, either, lol. He's trying to reassure Stevie as well as himself that he's doing the right thing.

I suspect you've quite misinterpreted the song. He means it, baby.

I don't think I've misinterpreted it, but obviously I have a different interpretation than others.

If I recall, Lindsey talked about either "I Know I'm Not Wrong" or "Not That Funny" in terms of having had one set of ideas when he was younger, about how life is and should be and will be, but that as you grow, you see that that's not always the case, and you don't have that kind of control.
(I'm probably mixing up more than one comment.)

And based partly on that, but mostly on the lyrics, I'm left feeling that these things... this woman who was "the dream of a lifetime," etc... and all these ideals that he had... didn't turn out to be what was true in the end.
And so it's sort of his younger self and his older self talking to each other, and the whole "Don't blame me, I know I'm not wrong" counterpoint is coming from his obstinate younger self. So it's an ironic statement, because the "older and wiser" Lindsey knows he was wrong about a lot of things... he was wrong about Stevie being the right woman for him, he was wrong that they'd spend their lives together, etc.

I think that's one of the reasons I like the song so much, because Lindsey is being so self-reflective there. He's not trying to see a situation through an observer's eyes, he's really taking stock of his own life there.

I suppose you can take the statement "I know I'm not wrong" at face-value, and feel that he meant it with absolutely no irony or sarcasm whatsoever, but that sure comes off in a rather arrogant way, if you ask me.
So I don't think he was being head-strong in that song... I really believe he was talking to himself, and working through some issues vocally (ie: giving up control over things that are not within his power), rather than simply internally. :shrug:

[sodascouts]

Your interpretation is a very interesting one. You make sense. However, I dont see my interpretation as one that suggests he is arrogant and headstrong. It's more like a man who realizes that he's been wrong before and now, finally, he's doing the right thing.

THIS IS NOT A VOTE.

[DeadliestPoison]

Sara Sara Sara Sara Sara Sara Sara.

[Johnny Stew]

THIS IS NOT A VOTE.

"Arrogant" wasn't really the right word on my part, no. But I do think boldly stating that he knows he's not wrong, without any irony whatsoever, is a little more cock-sure than Lindsey usually comes across in his songs. (Well, at least in the ones that aren't overtly sexual. In those, the ol' boy seems quite sure of himself! ;) )

To touch on your last comment... I don't see it as him saying he was wrong before and right now, but rather that he was so positive that he was right, and now he realizes he still had a lot to learn. :)

[louielouie2000]

I don't even know how these songs could be mentioned in the same breath. Save Me a Place needs to hit the road!

[golden braid]

nope it got immunity

Whoops. I'm going with Never Forget then.

[tynan88]

Save me a place has no place here.

Tynan

[shackin'up]

voting off Sara would be blasphemy. It really hurts that I don't support SMAP with this vote, but I am completely out of order about the fact that that song with Sara are going to conquer eachother in round 2

You Ledgies have NO TASTE.

I knew that. You all let Little Lies win the Tangothread. You suck, I don't.

I vote off ...............



gerald

EDIT: I No longer can hide here. All you guys who love sara are voting it OFF! So I decided to leave my principles, and defend Lindsey here because my earlier vote simply doesn't count. So F*ck all of you, with ableeding heart I vote off.....................SARA.
.....so now I suck too........ :mad:

[GypsySorcerer]

That's Enough for Me.

Voting SARA again. It's gotta go this time.

Ok, back to Save Me A Place. Buh bye.

[CarneVaca]

I suppose you can take the statement "I know I'm not wrong" at face-value, and feel that he meant it with absolutely no irony or sarcasm whatsoever, but that sure comes off in a rather arrogant way, if you ask me

Lindsey arrogant!!? What a shock! But I'm not sure I would call it arrogant in this case. I see it as he telling himself, "I know I'm not wrong," as reassurance. After the breakup you may experience some doubt and there's that little voice inside that says, "but I know I'm right about this." And it's that little voice that tells you if you know you're right and being right won't save the relationship, it's time to let it go. I see no real irony there, not in the sense that I understand irony to mean. I see melancholy and reconciliation of one's actions with one's sense of reality. How many decisions do we have to make that defy one's emotions but ultimately are the right thing to do? That's what's going on there. No irony.

[CarneVaca]

I do think boldly stating that he knows he's not wrong, without any irony whatsoever, is a little more cock-sure than Lindsey usually comes across in his songs.

Not necessarily. See my last post. Besides, if that were the case, it still wouldn't shock me. This is the man who, after all, said he likes John Lennon because Lennon could get away with being rude in his songs.

[ShamHy89]

No strategy here, this is just my least favorite on Tusk.

Sara

[Claudia]

Not That Funny

[rezamatic]

Woo-hoo it's re-started! I was so excited to see how this started off, but I was without internet since last week.

Although I want to attempt to start up an alliance against "Brown Eyes", I see no point this round and will therefore attempt to save "Not That Funny" and vote for "Sara". Not my personal pick to go this early, but heck, you gotta play strategicamalacally.

VOTE: "Sara"

Love the avatar. ;) Reminds me of the poster for Woody Allen's "Small Time Crooks." Hilarious movie.

[Dulcimer]

Well, so I see it's time to vote again. Since the song I picked last time is still in the game, I must vote for it again. So I vote to dump...

Sara

[face of glass]

My meaningless vote: "Angel".

[CarneVaca]

My meaningless vote: "Angel".

No vote is meaningless, but if you want to protect certain songs, you would do well to vote for Sara.

[CarneVaca]

Oh, and before I forget, I vote to drop

SARA!

[Mari]

I love it love it love it, but it's got to go...

Sara


Did I do right now, Carne?

[marc402]

as before i'm voting of "beautiful child"
you'll soon be a missing child :p

[CarneVaca]

I love it love it love it, but it's got to go...

Sara


Did I do right now, Carne?

Sometimes sacrifices are necessary.

[Lala]

Not That Funny

Save Sara!!!!!!

[Mari]

I hope we saved SMAP with it. If SMAP gets the boot, I'm out of here :mad: I had to go that far, voting of Sara to save SMAP... it's like choosing between your children.

snif...

Gerald, I understand your pain ;)

[dissention]

I had to go that far, voting of Sara to save SMAP... it's like choosing between your children.

Thankfully, Save Me A Place is the well-behaved child and Sara is that little brat you just can't wait to get rid of.

[face of glass]

No voting here.

No vote is meaningless, but if you want to protect certain songs, you would do well to vote for Sara.
Sorry, I don't go for this kinky group thing of yours. ;)

In spite of the name of the thread, I do not vote for songs. I vote for overall tracks and performances; the main fascination for me in this line-up.

"Sara" is in my top three of the album. It doesn't matter if the ~windchildren~ have taken to it as their private property. It's still the only Nickssong that has made me cry like a baby. That's why I won't be voting it off, I'm such a bleeding wuss.

Me voting against "Sara" would be me voting against Lindsey too, if I cared for the traditional SN vs. LB war that much in threads like these. When those acoustic guitar swirls and Stevie's voice meet each other on the record, that's when I come to such ridiculous conclusions such as splitting the credit 50-50 between the two. AND, it's another side of Lindsey Buckingham that's audible to us there, a side that he rarely lets come out in his own recordings.

[Nightbird_Brett]

Oh my gosh. I feel like I'm in the twilight zone. I can't believe I have to choose between Sara and Save Me A Place (two of my favorite Tusk songs) in order to save the other. :distress:

LOL...I think if we told a random sampling of Fleetwood Mac fans that either Sara or SMAP would be voted off second (compared to some of the other songs on here), they would think that we're all off our rockers!

In voting, I sadly vote off Save Me A Place. IMHO, Lindsey shined on the White Album and Say You Will, Chris shined on Tango In The Night, and Stevie shined on Tusk. With that being said, I just cannot see voting off any of her five songs from this album second. Shoot, I don't even think they should be voted off in the first half! But once again...just my opinion. :wavey:

You know what would be great? If EVERYONE could remember to put what round it is in their vote. I just had to scroll my a** of while trying to pretend to work just to figure out what's going on.... :wavey:

All hail Save Me A Place.

All hurl Sara.

Save Save Me A Place

[Serrart]

I would have preferred to keep voting for the songs I like the least but Sara, in my opinion, is a beautiful song that deserves to be in Tusk Top 5 so my vote goes to Save Me A Place

[amber]

No Vote
So, seriously, all you people who voted for Sara like every C.McVie, and every other song on Tusk better? For real? I guess so...
Sara's not my fav. but i think it's better than many...also, i thought everyone liked this song more than me :D
learn something new every day here on the ledge... :wavey:

you're absolutely right, Sara is gorgeous... but we have to

SAVE SAVE ME A PLACE.

I vote to drop SARA

Oh, and before I forget, I vote to drop

SARA!
I vote to drop SARA
Cool pull old boy. You think Jacob's gonna fall for that? ;)

[CarneVaca]

Cool pull old boy. You think Jacob's gonna fall for that? ;)

Fall for what? I was just reinforcing my position. What are you trying to insinuate?

[Johnny Stew]

Fall for what? I was just reinforcing my position. What are you trying to insinuate?

:laugh: Obviously Carne has taken a cue from Jeb Bush and Kathryn Harris, on how to fix an election.

Well then, in that case I'm just reinforcing my vote to save a place in the graveyard for
SAVE ME A PLACE. :D :angel:

[Hawkeye]

I KNOW that 70 percent of the people voting for Sara don't think it's the worst song left at all. I think Carne's doing it to save SMAP, and a few like Kate and some others really think it's the worst song. And that's fine. But the rest of you are doing in cause you think it'd be "Cool" or something to see Sara go second. And don't tell me I'm not Wrong because like a song that has yet to get a vote and deservedly so... I KNOW I'M NOT WORNG :laugh:

I'm sure most of you voting for Sara like it more then I do. I'd like to see it go 3rd or 4th or something. But not before Save Me a Place. But I guess now that I think about that's the exact same motive for you people on the other side, so carry on. And I just did what I protested against in the beginning :wavey: So lets just see Save Me a Place go

[dissention]

My reinforcement vote:

Sara

All hail Save Me A Place.

All hurl Sara.

[ShamHy89]

So, seriously, all you people who voted for Sara like every C.McVie, and every other song on Tusk better?

Simply, yes. I am serious. Hard to believe I know.

Shamus

[Hippocampus]

Well since this is all about strategy... My vote goes to Save Me A Place . What a shame :distress:

[Travis]

after having to go thru so many pages of this post. Why isn't there a new post for each round? Makes more sense to me. I only got thru page 4 before I started to get a headache.

Anyway, my vote is:

Save Me A Place

[sodascouts]

Don't confuse Jacob with your lame reinforcement votes! :mad: I'm definitely going to double-check this one for him. And I must say I'm proud of myself for voting my conscience this time, instead of voting for Save Me a Place just to keep Sara in the game. I love both too much to do that. Still, I must insist...

SAVE SARA!!!

[Cristian]

I. Like it.

O. K. then... :laugh: I still hate the bloody thing

Edited because I was not supposed to vote yet!

And I'm actually amazed that people like NTF more than SMAP...

I'm really amazed that "Sara" and "Save Me A Place" are two of the most hated songs of this album!!! I love both, and I think they are the best from each composer... their lyric support (dreamy, unearthy and delicate in one case; simple, nice and beautiful in the second one) is simply one of the best they'd done to date. I mean... 14 votes for "Sara" and 1 for "Angel"? 13 for "Save Me A Place" and "That's All For Everyone" gets immunity? Pleeeeeeeeeease. :rolleyes:

[Johnny Stew]

Actually, the "D" is missing from the letters... so the true answer is: The Farmers Aughter.
And I want "Not That Funny" to have immunity. ;) :laugh:

[Cristian]

Now that's a good move. I hope you're not going to go against my unique candidate now, or I'll have to post a myriad of "SAVE........" messages.

Bless your soul, darling. :wavey:

[Johnny Stew]

At any rate, once again one of the single most elegant and brilliant songs has been voted off (in only the second round, no less).
I guess some songs are just too damn good to be appreciated by the common-folk. :p (That was a joke, people.)

And now, thanks to Bryan (:p ;) ), I have to suffer through at least one more round with the most boring two-minutes & forty-seconds-long song ever committed to tape (IMO, Gaius)... so my vote this time goes to "Over And Over."

And I've figured something out... we're actually playing a Bizarro-Version of 'Survivor,' where the best songs get voted out first. (And yes, I include "Honey Hi" in that.) ;) :laugh:

:( :( :( :distress: :distress: :distress: She will always be the poet in my heart.

Okay, okay. So, I'm saying damn the "strategery," since it didn't save my favorite song. So I'm voting for "Walk a Thin Line," regardless of the fact that Amber and me will be the only two to vote for it.

I do not disagree that it is a great song. Compared to everything else on the album, it is my least fav. It needs to go....should have went before Sara.



-Curtis

[CarneVaca]

TIE. And this only because Gerald changed his vote, which I'm not sure is even legit. Is it?

Why shouldn't anyone be allowed to change a vote? He changed his vote to save a song he likes. I think that is perfectly legitimate.

As for the tie, since the rule has traditionally been to go with the song that previously got more votes, the result still stands. Sara is out. It would be grossly unfair to change rules midstream.

[CarneVaca]

I do not disagree that it is a great song. Compared to everything else on the album, it is my least fav. It needs to go....should have went before Sara.

A lot of songs should have gone before Sara, but the vicious attacks on one of Lindsey's greatest compositions called for drastic measures.

[HomerMcvie]

YEP. Live with it, Boilermaker! :shocked: During Rumours, I changed my vote a couple of times, in order to save other songs. If that practice was allowed to stand, it obviously still does. :cool:

[sodascouts]

As for the tie, since the rule has traditionally been to go with the song that previously got more votes, the result still stands. Sara is out. It would be grossly unfair to change rules midstream.

HAHA, you're so funny, CarneVaca. You know very well you made the exact same complaint last time. But for those of you who don't remember, here is Carne's previous statement from the aborted thread:


Not That Funny was voted off already!? I question the methodology, that's for starters. Seems to me a run-off vote was necessary, since it was a tie. I call this whole thing into question. Is there an arbitrator on these threads?

I cry

FOUL!!!!!!

Loud and clear.

As for "Traditionally" - once in an aborted thread, which doesn't count. So.....


I DEMAND A RUNOFF FOR SARA AND SMAP.

Who's with me?!!

[jwd]

As for the tie, since the rule has traditionally been to go with the song that previously got more votes, the result still stands. Sara is out. It would be grossly unfair to change rules midstream.

Yes, I agree. And that was SMAP getting 4 and Sara getting 9.

YOU FOOLS LET SARA DROWNd! :mad: :laugh:

Good try, Nance, but I'm with everyone else....It's out fair and square. I hate it, too.

Mainly because the Mirage tour ruined it for me. All that screaming is just plain embarrassing.

[Sugar]

I'm just wondering if we'll ever have a Tusk survivor winner at this rate. :laugh:

I don't know, but this is the most god damn hysterically funny Survivor game I've ever seen on here, that I don't even care right now! :laugh:

[Johnny Stew]

A lot of songs should have gone before Sara, but the vicious attacks on one of Lindsey's greatest compositions called for drastic measures.

Dude, I love all of Lindsey's songs on 'Tusk'... they're pure brilliance (even though I do still feel that Stevie's are stronger "songs," overall).

But "Save Me A Place"... I just don't get the appeal. Honestly.
I want to. I have tried to. But I don't get it.

What makes it stand out?
The lyrics make an ok statement, sure... but not as good of a statement as his other 'Tusk' songs.
The harmonies are nice, but they're certainly not the best harmonies he's ever had in one of his songs.
And, when compared to the rest of his 'Tusk' tracks, "Save Me A Place" has the most basic, standard production of them all. So it's not even innovative, production-wise.

So... and i'm asking honestly here... what's the appeal?

It's lovely. Very pretty harmonies, nice mellow tune, nice sentiment. What can I say? It's all subjective. But with regard to Lindsey's other Tusk songs, it's certainly a heck of a lot better than the wretched Ledge, which will get my vote as soon as the diabetic-coma-inducing Never Forget takes a hike.

And ironically, I wish I would've voted SMAP off last round.

THERE'S STILL TIME FOR A RUNOFF BETWEEN SARA AND SMAP!!!!

[Johnny Stew]

Good try, Nance, but I'm with everyone else....It's out fair and square. I hate it, too.

Crikey! What on Earth is with all this "Sara" hate?!?

HAHA, you're so funny, CarneVaca. You know very well you made the exact same complaint last time. But for those of you who don't remember, here is Carne's previous statement from the aborted thread.

Nice try, Nancy, but I didn't even expect anyone to listen to me, though I was pleasantly surprised they did. Second, I didn't know the rule was to use the previous number of votes for a song to break a tie. That still seems goofy to me, but if that's the rule, that's the rule and it should stand. Since the rule wasn't changed, it would be patently unfair to do so after two rounds to manipulate the results. And you know it.

Third, and most importantly, not only had that tie round been called into question, the first round itself seemed to have been miscounted, and that more than anything made it necessary to re-do the whole thing. You can go re-read the whole thread if you per chance missed that.

Let's not indulge our taste for sour grapes, Nancy. Accept the results and move on.

Yeah, Johnny, we know, we know. You can keep voting for it then. Except... not this round, baby!

It's lovely. Very pretty harmonies, nice mellow tune, nice sentiment. What can I say? It's all subjective. But with regard to Lindsey's other Tusk songs, it's certainly a heck of a lot better than the wretched Ledge, which will get my vote as soon as the diabetic-coma-inducing Never Forget takes a hike.

I see what you're saying, but what makes it better than anything else, to the degree that someone would actually regard it as one of Lindsey's finest compositions? I just don't see how it stands out.

Maybe it's just TOO mellow for my tastes. As I've said, it's truly the pacing the kills the entire song for me.

I like the verse-lyrics, but then Lindsey starts singing the chorus so slowly, that I lose interest. :(

And, hey! I love "The Ledge"!
That song has spunk and vitality, and wit, and charm, and all the things that "Save Me A Place" is sorely lacking, in my opinion. :)

I do realize it's all subjective... after all, I am the guy who adores "When I See You Again."
But I am absolutely baffled as to how people see "SMAP" as a better, more worthy song than "Sara."

Of course, subscribing to my new theory that everything Carne and Diss say and do, is all a joke, and is only meant to get a rise out of people... then their attempts to save "SMAP" over "Sara" make total sense. ;) :laugh:

The rule was made up off-the-cuff by Jacob for that round, it wasn't in place previously. And that thread was aborted. We should treat it as if it never existed, IMHO.

BUT, it seems I am alone in my protests, and therefore I will suck it up and move on. :(

So now it's gone..... these jokers say it doesn't matter anymore.... but to me, Sara will always be a winner!

[Dulcimer]

I see what you're saying, but what makes it better than anything else, to the degree that someone would actually regard it as one of Lindsey's finest compositions? I just don't see how it stands out.

Not to be a wiseass, but aren't you, like, a huge fan of When I See You Again? How anyone could be a huge fan of that is beyond me, but I see you have the same attitude toward the beautiful Save Me a Place. So why not just leave it at that?

There's no accounting for taste. ANd I believe you've said that. Why harp on this? I notice the other Tusk survivor thread had a huge discussion involving you and your dislike of Save Me a Place. Must it be debated to death?

I just don't get it.

Not this time, my friend. Save Me a Place is one of my all-time favorites. Really, it is among my top three Lindsey songs. So don't kid yourself. I love Sara, but it was an easy decision to sacrifice it for Save Me a Place. And I would do it again.
:woohoo: :woohoo:

Nancy, I understand your disappointment, but don't you think that the fair thing to do would have been to officially throw out that rule and implement a new one before it became an issue? Otherwise, as it happened, people just figured that it stands. And therefore it should.Don't you think changing rules in the middle of a game is unfair?

Sara is out. She needs a rest.

[Sugar]

Since I was the one who posted that I thought the whole "previous votes" thing was the rule, I feel compelled to add that there was a tie in the Tango thread (post #266 for those who are interested) and the rule was implimented there as well. So it was not only used in an "aborted thread", since that seems to be a sticking point.

Just doing my civic duty...

I just don't get it.

I get harped on about loving "When I See You Again" like nobody's business, and have been challenged to explain my appreciation of that song on far-too-numerous occasions.

So why am I not allowed to vent a little about the one Lindsey song that I truly dislike?
Heck, in the grand scheme of things, I haven't complained about "SMAP" one-third of the amount of times "WISYA" has been ripped to shreds. And that's even if you just count the comments from one or two people. :shrug:

But hey, I'll shut up about "SMAP" forevermore, as long as everyone else promises to do the same in regards to "When I See You Again"... but somehow I don't see the latter happening. ;)

Oh, and this is just a game... not to be taken seriously. :D

Getting back to the 3rd round I vote for That's All For Everyone. And by the way I love both SARA and SMAP. Sara should not have been voted off already. :(

Not voting on anything, I just love that the song's abbreviation spells out that word...it makes me giggle. :laugh:

[Hawkeye]

Danm it this Survivor is turning out crappy. Save Me a Place now has IMMUNUITY, and it looks like the absoluely amazing NTF will be next. Well it doesn't matter, the first 5 voted off are bound to be Honey Hi, That's All For Everyone, Sara, Not That Funny and Save Me a Place. it's just a matter of what order.

Anyway I guess to save Not That Funny and my vote is That's All For Everyone

I'm right there with you 100%. "Not that Funny" was one of my original favorites. Such a fun yet cynical song. Fits me to a T (or is it tee? tea? whatever...) :shrug: At this point it's all about saving the songs on the chopping block!

I STILL would like to start up an alliance against "Brown Eyes" but there still seems to be no point to it just yet. So unfortunately I'll have to vote for "That's All For Everyone" to save my other fave's. Man, this game is tough...turning me against my favorite songs already! I knew this would be a good one.

[shackin'up]

RECOUNT:

TIE. And this only because Gerald changed his vote, which I'm not sure is even legit. Is it?


:p :p :] :] :p :p

...YOU ALL Forced me. I was with my back against the wall. It clearly was not my own free will. In the last moment I chose for my family. Can you be punished for that?

PS:
The only way to control editing is not allow editing at all. That sounds american huh? :cool:

[CarneVaca]

Danm it this Survivor is turning out crappy. Save Me a Place now has IMMUNUITY, and it looks like the absoluely amazing NTF will be next. Well it doesn't matter, the first 5 voted off are bound to be Honey Hi, That's All For Everyone, Sara, Not That Funny and Save Me a Place. it's just a matter of what order.

Anyway I guess to save Not That Funny and my vote is That's All For Everyone

Dude, you're giving up too early. You might want to change your vote to Never Forget. Don't sacrifice That's All for Everyone yet.

[CarneVaca]

That's All For Everyone

Tynan

Save Stevie's Classics before the Lindsey Lovers Can Get To Them...Oooh I bet I'm in trouble for that one :laugh:

Regardless of the writer of the song, Lindsey wins this. As he won Tango. He made these songs.

Dude, don't give up yet. I'm all for knocking Brown Eyes, but now isn't the time. I would suggest you change your vote to Never Forget.

Well right now it's too late, but I'm in next round. I'll be down with voting Never Forget when it comes around.

See, now THIS is how ya play Survivor :nod:

[Patti]

I guess I'll go with Never Forget (pouting that Save Me A Place has immunity).

[dougl]

Poor 'Sara'. That song was all about beautiful production by Lindsey and the band. Oh well, er I mean and remain....

Not That Funny

see ya

[dissention]

Dude, I love all of Lindsey's songs on 'Tusk'... they're pure brilliance (even though I do still feel that Stevie's are stronger "songs," overall).

But "Save Me A Place"... I just don't get the appeal. Honestly.
I want to. I have tried to. But I don't get it.

What makes it stand out?
The lyrics make an ok statement, sure... but not as good of a statement as his other 'Tusk' songs.
The harmonies are nice, but they're certainly not the best harmonies he's ever had in one of his songs.
And, when compared to the rest of his 'Tusk' tracks, "Save Me A Place" has the most basic, standard production of them all. So it's not even innovative, production-wise.

So... and i'm asking honestly here... what's the appeal?

What's the appeal of When I See You Again, easily Stevie's worst song?

I submit that nothing anyone says about Save Me A Place is going to do anything to numb your disdain of it, just like nothing you say will numb the disdain others have for When I See You Again. Can't we just let it go? The question has been asked, it's been answered, no one agrees. End of story.

[dissention]

The rule was made up off-the-cuff by Jacob for that round, it wasn't in place previously. And that thread was aborted. We should treat it as if it never existed, IMHO.

Nope, it's been in place since the first tie in the Rumours Survivor and is used in the Survivor show. :thumbsup:

[Serrart]

Regardless of the writer of the song, Lindsey wins this. As he won Tango. He made these songs.

Good! So I can vote for That's All for Everyone without regrets :thumbsup:

Get rid of "Not That Funny" post haste.

We do not live in a just world when a brilliant song such as Sara gets voted off before the likes of the lyrical/musical vomit that is NTF. Sorry Carne but it SUCKS!!!!!

[ShamHy89]

Not That Funny.

[CarneVaca]

Cliff, the reason Sara got booted was because of the early ganging up on Save Me a Place, not because of Not that Funny. It would have been a better idea if people had laid off the sacred cows for the first few rounds and eliminated the truly weaker songs. Unfortunately, too many people didn't see it that way, so Sara drowned.

[Dulcimer]

Save Me a Place is safe for now! That makes me happy.

I'm surprised so many people don't like That's All for Everyone. It's a beautiful lush song.

[cliffdweller]

...and can't we all agree that Save Me a Place is a MUCH better song than NTF? :confused:

[CarneVaca]

...and can't we all agree that Save Me a Place is a MUCH better song than NTF? :confused:

In my humble opinion, it's a better song. But I also like NTF a lot. Do you think NTF is inferior to things like Never Make You Cry, Brown Eyes, Never Forget and Over and Over? I like NTF better than even Beautiful Child, which I understand is a sentimental around here but I always thought it was Stevie's weakest song on the album.

Really, I think just about every Lindsey and Stevie song is better than Christine's contributions in this album, though I like about half of Chris' songs enough.

[Vianna]

The Ledge!!

[CarneVaca]

The Ledge!!


Why the fixation on The Ledge? It's delightfully quirky and in-your-face. You're throwing away your vote every time. Use it more wisely. Vote for Never Forget.

[cliffdweller]

Do you think NTF is inferior to things like Never Make You Cry, Brown Eyes, Never Forget and Over and Over?

I LOVE Brown Eyes and Never Forget is okay, I don't think I would vote it off first. Like someone said earlier, the Mirage live version of NTF is so jarring that the song is kind of ruined because of it. I have to vote off what I skip over the most and NTF is #1 on that list.

Over and Over will be my next choice to go if NTF isn't voted off. I'm still in shock that Honey Hi is so loathesome to everyone, what gives?

[Mari]

SAVE NOT THAT FUNNY!!!


Ehm..

Never Forget

[CarneVaca]

Like someone said earlier, the Mirage live version of NTF is so jarring that the song is kind of ruined because of it. I have to vote off what I skip over the most and NTF is #1 on that list.

The Mirage live version should have no bearing whatsoever on this vote. I meant to make that point when it was brought up before. I never even liked NTF until I bought Tusk after I had already been listening to the 1980 live version for a couple of years. The studio version is a work of art in comparison. Those dueling guitars at the end close the deal for me.

If it really is that odious to you, I can understand that. But if you're voting based on the live version, that makes no sense.

Besides, voting more strategically seems to be the way to go in this game. You would do well to switch your vote to Never Forget, if you're thinking strategically. Go back, check out the votes that have been cast so far in this round, you might see what I mean. Never Forget seems to be the way to go.

Mari, sorry to be a pain but you won't save Not That Funny by voting for Over and Over, at least not in this round. Never Forget seems to be the better target.

NOTE: I HAVE NOT VOTED IN THIS ROUND YET. I WILL CAST MY VOTE WHEN THE TIME IS RIGHT.

[wondergirl9847]

Never Forget is one of my least favorite songs on the album, along with Honey Hi.

My vote: Never Forget.

Why the fixation on The Ledge? It's delightfully quirky and in-your-face. You're throwing away your vote every time. Use it more wisely. Vote for Never Forget.Here, now, what's all this loaded language?! Never Forget happens to be my favorite on the album!

The only songs I can conscionably vote off "Tusk" are some of the Stevie Nicks songs: Beautiful Child, Sisters of the Moon & Storms. Everything else is just too ineradicably bound up in my psychological sense of what makes Fleetwood Mac tick (or what used to make Fleetwood Mac tick).

Oh the propaganda! Noone can accuse you of resting on your laurels!

Good try ;)

Since SMAP has immunity (which is just plain WRONG...I dont like this immunity thing) I have to vote for Over And Over.

[chiffon head]

THAT'S ALL FOR EVERYONE!

Renee

[Lala]

Is anyone else confused by the massive posting in this survivor? I can't even find last nights results...

I vote for Save Me A Place if it's still there?? :confused:

[face of glass]

I vote for Save Me A Place if it's still there?? :confused:
It has immunity now. "Sara" was dropped. I know, I know, conspiracies. ;)

Not That Funny

[Hawkeye]

Dude, you're giving up too early. You might want to change your vote to Never Forget. Don't sacrifice That's All for Everyone yet.

Well between Never Forget and That's All... I'd still go for That's All... If I really voted for what i wanted to it'd be for Never Make Me cry.

[shackin'up]

We will Never Forget tonight.

[Hawkeye]

Nope, it's been in place since the first tie in the Rumours Survivor and is used in the Survivor show. :thumbsup:

Actually it is not used in the show :xoxo: They stopped using it after season 3.

[Hawkeye]

. Ryan you're just mad as I am, that SMAP has immunity. But overall it's a GREAT idea. If YOU or ME or PATTI or JOHNNY had been the first one to answer a question we could've given SMAP's competition immunity. So although it didn't roll our way this time, it's still an awseome twist.

[Lala]

Argh I don't even care anymore!

LOL...someone PM me when it's down to the final 2!

[marc402]

voting for NEVER FORGET in this round

(only cause i wanna save not that funny and that is not gonna happen by voting beautiful child at this point :( )
don't forget to count my vote like in round 2 jacob :p
eventhough it would not have made a difirence ;)

[ShamHy89]

Argh I don't even care anymore!
It is a little frustrating I suppose.

I think it'll be time for a fresh thread after this round, Jacob.

Shamus

[Johnny Stew]

Regardless of the writer of the song, Lindsey wins this. As he won Tango. He made these songs.

Actually, Christine won 'Tango.' Both of the final two songs belonged to her. :nod: :)
Maybe Lindsey will win 'Tusk' though... it looks like people are bending over backwards to make sure that happens.

I'll be interested in seeing which song wins this, and whether or not it truly deserves to on the merits of the song. :)

[amber]

Not to be a wiseass, but aren't you, like, a huge fan of When I See You Again? How anyone could be a huge fan of that is beyond me,


I, too, like that song in all it's croaking, bare bones heartbreakedness...And everyone knows I have impeccable taste :D :laugh:

Anyway, My vote is: WALK A THIN LINE

though last night I came to the conclusion that Over and Over ties with it for dullocity. And i think Christie's other songs on the album, while too slow for me to listen to a lot, are beautiful masterpieces - Literally. And i'm suprised Honey Hi got voted out before Over and Over, but there you have it. Sorry to all the Sara lovers... :( A travesty of Epic Proportions, I tell you what...

I LOVE Over and Over, but have never been a huge fan of Honey Hi.
I do think a gang mentality was shown on Sara :eek:
Hey AMber, why do you capitalize the M in your name??? Enquiring minds want to know(ever since I found out what 'Rescind the Strike" means, I find myself wondering these things) :o

Over and Over is not bad...
yeah, someone else asked me about the M. It's just that usually when i'm typing I accidentally don't release the shift key fast enough after the A and before the M...It's a pinky thing. Sometimes i'm coordinated enough to do it right! :cool: :laugh:

[Johnny Stew]

I do think a gang mentality was shown on Sara :eek:

I accept full responsibility for that.
I was baffled that several people disliked "Sara" so much that they would vote against it before any one of the 19 other songs on the album (since some people were already voting against it in the very first round).

So I guess I was too vocal in getting my personal weakest-link booted off instead, and the people who like it (or dislike me), rallied against that. :shrug:

[wondergirl9847]

Why not vote for your least fave songs?

*Gasp* :shocked:
