"Beautiful Child" vs "Say Goodbye" was the toughest call. I think they're both incredibly beautiful.

I wonder what would change if you changed the match-ups. Actually what might be more telling is to have people order each track listing according to their own preference from most to least and and then match up each #1, each #2, etc. The hard way of doing this obviously would be to use a randomizer to come up with the match-ups and do the exercise a multiple number of times and see what averages out.

But it's still a cool idea :) I could tell you off the bat that I prefer Tusk much more to Say You Will. I'm 16:2 in favor of Tusk with 2 toss-ups. I guess I could split them and go 17:3.

We think so much alike, and I like your post in the Mirage vs Tango thread about LB's 50's style. This is why I love his songs on Mirage, as well.

This is an experiment to see which fans are really paying attention and what they would choose if it was one or the other. It would be so much easier for most if I listed Beautiful Child vs Silver Girl; Tusk vs Say Goodbye, etc.

But hey I kinda like the idea of The List and then compare the others' results.

"Beautiful Child" vs "Silver Girl" would be the ugliest beatdown imaginable :laugh:

"Say Goodbye" has been known to literally make me cry like a baby.

I picked What's The World Coming To rather than Over and Over cos I think it is a better song to open an album with. It has never made sense to me starting Tusk with such a slow song (as beautifully sung as it is). Had they been further down the track listing I would have voted the other way. And even my version of 'That's Enough For Me', sung in the shower would have beaten Silver Girl...................:)

Thanks for playing! Come on, get those votes in before the poll closes, y'all.

LOL, I would love to read and tally the results, as both albums are my fave's...but this thread was originaly meant as a joke (not really)

Just a fun experiment, if fans had to chose one over ther other. Remember NO ties, please. You really don't want ME voting for ya, do ya'? Keep voting :D

Ok, the results are in and this is the Best album that us fans have chosen: With only 14 votes counted:

Over & Over 11 vs WTWCT 3
The Ledge 9 vs Murrow 5
Think About Me 11 vs Illume 3
SMAP 4 vs Thrown Down 10
Sara 10 vs Miranda 4
WMYTYTO 9 vs Red Rover 5
Storms 12 vs SYW 2
TAFE 7 vs Peacekeeper 7 *tie
NTF 7 vs Come 7 *
SOTM 14 vs Smile at You A BIG fat 0

Angel 8 vs RTTG 6
TEFM 13 vs Silver Girl 1
Brown Eyes 8 vs SYHA 6
NMMC 1 vs BTLH 13
IKINW 9 vs EFO 5
Honey Hi 6 vs Destiny Rulz 8
Beautiful Child 11 vs Say Goodbye 3
WATL 9 vs Goodbye Baby 5
Tusk 13 vs Love Minus Zero 1
Never Forget 10 vs Not Make Believe 4


So, No surprise here: 17 and/or 15 Tusk tracks and 3/5 SYW tracks make the perfect album.
    • In the event of a “TIE”vote (there were several), it was at my discretion to chose the winning song. In that case, I chose the one with least amount of votes (not that it really mattered at that point). This is why it is important to just chose “one”. Please don't make me decide to break a TIE.
    • Interestingly enough for songs LB received 9 votes, SN 7, CM 4
    • I'm surprised (and secretly delighted) that Say Goodbye received 3 votes and Silver Girl received 1, none of them mine, while Smile At You received Zero votes.
    • Equally surprising is that Not Make Believe received 4 votes vs Never Forget. (The harmonies on this one are beautiful).
    • Never Make Me Cry only got 1 vote (mine). I'm not crazy about the song, but I recently heard the Demo and it is gorgeous, worth a listen.
So, the Perfect mix ot '70 meets '03 album/track listing according to us (rearrange as you please) is:

Over and Over
The Ledge
Think About Me
Thrown Down
Sara
What Makes You Think...
Storms
That's All For Everyone
Come
Sisters
Angel
That's Enough For Me
Brown Eyes
Bleed To Love Her
I Know I'm Not Wrong
Destiny Rulz
Beautiful Child
Walk A Thin Line
Tusk
Never Forget

Hidden Bonus tracks: Not That Funny & Peacekeeper
;)

So, the fans have spoken and it is a Landslide, we love our Tusk!
Thanks to all that voted and participated.
