I thought about it since Book of Thel's elimination was a huge blasphemy (although I still wouldn't call this survivor a farce, it's absurd) but I stayed to prevent another blasphemy. It seems I succeeded, too.

I wouldn't be mad if Jerusalem lost in this round, but if it quit the game at, say, 6th place, I'd be.
 
I'm reading my Bible at the moment.
I'll vote as soon as the drugs kick in. :p

I voted Jerusalem, but it looks like this survivor is going to be a farce anyway

No, it's not. The only two bad things that have happened are Silver Wings and Cyclops not making the top 10 and Navigate getting tenth place. This survivor is perfect! :p

Almost makes up for that CSIT mess.
 
And after all this time for this survivor, we have a tie! Both Darkside of Aquarius and Jerusalem win the Bruce Survivor for 2012!

Personally, I think the Top 10 is too CW heavy and this is coming from someone who's favourite album is CW! I also think that AoB is not represented enough even though the 2 songs that did make it both made the top 3. I do love the top 4 (all in my top 5). I think that the only song that really doesn't deserve to be in the top 10 is King in Crimson. I'd also like to see Road to Hell, Accident of Birth and The Alchemist higher (preferably in the top 10 in place of Tower, Crimson and maybe Navigate although Navigate in the top 10 is fine).

Also the placing of Thel is likely to be controversial for years to come. If it was "best" songs then Thel would be my #1 hands down but in terms of favourite songs it is placed very similar to where it finished up. Additionally, I can see why people love The Tower even though I think half the album beats it but 2nd highest on the album is a bit much for me.

Also The Breeding House and Return of the King (2 of the best B-sides / non album tracks) need to be higher.

I couldn't agree more. My thoughts exactly.
 
An exciting battle to the finish, and a great game, but no, I am not satisfied.
I'm not sure what the bigger blasphemy is: Thel at seven, or Back From the Edge and Silver Wings not making the cut.
At least Tears is back in the top ten this time.

My top 10:
1. Book of Thel
2. Tears of the Dragon
3. The Tower
4. Back From the Edge
5. Silver Wings
6. Jerusalem
7. Darkside of Aquarius
8. Devil on a Hog :nana:
9. Return of the King
10. Arc of Space

Woefully underrated: Solar Confinement, The Breeding House, Eternal

Thanks UO
 
Mine:
1. Jerusalem
2. Omega.
3. Taking the Queen
4. Darkside of Aquarius
5. Tears of the Dragon
6. Freak
7. Return of the King
8. Arc of Space
9. Navigate the Seas of the Sun
10. Change of Heart

Freak has recently gone down a bit for me, altho I still believe it one of the best album openers. So that may change at some point but for now, that is the list. All in all fairly happy with results but I agree with UO, Accident is under-represented!
 
Tears Of The Dragon should have won. Book Of Thel is criminally low. Chemical Wedding got a bit too far. Darkside Of Aquarius has no place in top two, three or even five. Too many blasphemies to count here.

Thanks for hosting, UO! :ok:
 
My Top 10 at the moment :

1. Book of Thel
