Poll--The Weakest Link: Love DA CAPO, Round 5, The Final

Stephanie knows she's out. We've reached the final. Remember that you're still voting for the weakest link, and not the song you want to win.

Discussion question: What would your personal final pairing have been?

I'll run the 1st album at some point. (Forever Changes happened last year).

Thanks for playing. Up next...........not sure yet.

Stephanie Knows Who (Round 4)
Orange Skies (Round 3)
The Castle (Round 2)
¡Que Vida! (Round 1)
Revelation (Round 1)

 

Bye to Colors

Final pair woulda been 7 and Stephanie

 

>> Discussion question: What would your personal final pairing have been?

Orange Skies and She Comes In Colors.

 

Probably this is my final pairing, and I am further swimming in the mainstream by voting "Colors" off the island now...

 

Suggestion: how about Aja? That would be a brutal one to choose weakest links.

 

colors out

stephanie and orange skies... or any of the others except revelation

 

She Comes In Colors to go

 

Colors

?: I agree with this pairing.

 

Happened in 2012. Possible later.

 

My vote for "Seven & Seven Is".

My final pairing would be "The Castle" vs. "She Comes in Colors" with "She Comes in Colors" for the win.

@LandHorses: Thanks for hosting this poll.

 

Fading "Colors"

"Stephanie" vs. "7 and 7" ... but I'm fine with this final.

 

Stephanie Knows Who & She Comes In Colors (some kind of punk psychedelism)

 

This is my final pair.

 

The winner is...................
7 AND 7 IS


Thanks everyone for playing.

 

That's all, huh? I feel kind of empty inside...

 

OK......how about a live version then?

 

how could anyone not love 7 &7 is? i never understand thread rules. clearly ha

boom bip bip boom bip bip yeah.

 

I love every song on the album, including the long "Revelation" that everybody seems to hate.

 

Fill that void by playing Da Capo right at this moment. Fill your heart with LOVE.

 

The "song" is lame, but after the first six or seven minutes they start to jam and that's when it gets good - especially when the sax comes in.

 

It may be perceived that way now, but not when it was first released. In fact, many of my friends really liked that song at the time.

 

I think it's a pretty solid garage rock blues jam. The main problem I have is the length and the fact that it is such a jarring transition from the beauty of side 1. I think that if they had used some of the Forever Changes songs they had at the time instead of Revelation (or with a shorter version), Da Capo would have been regarded as their masterpiece.

 

The next album's songs weren't written yet except for "Old Man". Bryan MacLean already had some songs ready to go that could have been mixed in to the lineup to fill it out. "Kathleen", "Fresh Hope", "Tired of Sitting", "Blues Singer", "People", "I Can't Remember", "Castle Waltz". Most of all, I'm disappointed in "She Looks Good" not being used. That one is as good as "Orange Skies" and could have been added to the first side at least if "Revelation" was going to be on 'Da Capo'. Still it's a great album.
