out –> SILVER BLUE
... to leave the 2nd best single there never was, the only new Tourism track played on the CBB tour and the standout track of the album :-)

@Rich-UK: “The rain” was not a single, but as EMI Brazil just doesn’t follow the rest of the world in wich singles to release, radio stations down here played “The rain” a lot back in 1992. I love this song. The lyrics fit my history perfectly.

OUT -> The Rain
Just listen to the ending of Silver Blue when they sing together “And babe I fade to silver silver blue for you...”. I can’t throw out this song...

The Rain
RoxHard pls create RS and HAND polls too! :D This is fun.

@ KixGuy: I know The Rain wasn’t a single. I meant by “the 2nd best single there never was” = “the 2nd best song that should have been a single but was not”. I’m glad the song has special memories for you... it has for me as well :-) All the best, Rich

OUT: Silver blue
I love The rain!!! I think it´s really a special song!
RoxHard said on December 16, 2004 23:53:
Silly me... I thought I said I would close this poll tonight. ;-) Ah well... it’s a good thing I didn’t!
Silver Blue = 16.6 votes
The Rain = 16.4 votes
(that means, if it stayed like that, The Rain would win!!)
0.2% is still in it (thanks to Roxryder-V2004! ;-)
Good thing you all have those extra 24 hours so, huh? ;-)

Out: “Silver Blue” - “The Rain” really is the best single there never was (except maybe “Little Miss Sorrow”... hmmm.... make that “Breathe”!)
Rich-UK said on December 17, 2004 00:05:
Gosh, it’s an interesting turn of events how 5 people have voted The Rain as their first TDR post in the last 3 hours...
(“Voting Ends: 12pm Friday December 2004”
@ Roxhard: well it’s an extra 12 hours until voting ends according to your instructions...)
RoxHard said on December 17, 2004 01:59:
Ooops... should change that time. I meant until 12am Friday... no Saturday...
Oh for God sake!
OK... 11:59pm Friday Night!
There... ;-)

And I just checked out what you were saying Rich. I HOPE TO GOD NO ONE IS CHEATING!!! This is supposed to be fair!
ncurran said on December 17, 2004 06:28:
Indeed its true....i think some sad individuals are trying to fix the poll.
That is really sad...its a bloody poll on a fansite, not like theyre going to win a bloody grammy for it
RoxHard said on December 18, 2004 02:43:
I have been recording all votes since Round 2, and I can see that some of these names (Philip747, Candy Says, Noesis) have been voting since Round 4/Round 5. Shame this cheater/these cheaters have only been realised now.
Anyway, the cheating has not actually influenced the result that much. Most of the songs this person has voted for would’ve been kicked out without their help...
Anyway... The Rain is unofficially the best song on Tourism!!!
