Hey You
Absolute Curtains
In the Flesh?
Fearless
The Hero's Return
Waiting for the Worms
See-Saw
One of My Turns

So I am the only one to vote for either See-Saw or Waiting for the Worms. With Waiting for the Worms, I really like both, so in the end it was the end of each of the songs that did it, I like the extra sharp end to Waiting. See-Saw just hit a better note for me today.

I was gonna wrap up this round today, but it looks like we've got two ties happening. Drama! I'll check back in the afternoon, hopefully we can get another voter to settle the scores (oldkid, did you vote yet?).

Round 1 album survival stats:

The Piper at the Gates of Dawn - 50% (6/12)
A Saucerful of Secrets - 29% (2/7)
More - 15% (2/13)
Atom Heart Mother - 40% (2/5)
Zabriskie Point - 33% (1/3)
Meddle - 66% (4/6)
Obscured By Clouds - 20% (2/10)
Dark Side of the Moon - 70% (7/10)
Wish You Were Here - 100% (5/5)
Animals - 100% (5/5)
The Wall - 78% (21/27)
The Final Cut - 23% (3/13)
singles/other - 38% (5/13)

If I was really industrious, I'd do this by running time, since there are so many lengthy songs.

These numbers aren't too surprising, except maybe the poor showing by Obscured. Some bad luck in the matchups, I think. This round, Sheep vs. PotW1 will ruin the perfect score for Animals, and there's a similar matchup on the horizon for Wish You Were Here. I've definitely learned to put more thought into the seeding next time I do a tournament like this.
