HAPPY 2nd ANNIVERSARY TO EXPANDO!!!

Well right as Timothy announces a solo show in CA, it's time to celebrate this anniversary. As we have been doing for other albums, we can list our favorites in order for this album. It’ll be interesting to see how close the results are here to what they were when we played the Survivor game a couple of years ago.

Again, this isn’t exactly a game, but more like a poll with no other purpose than to be an exercise of fun. I’m going to list all the songs on the album and ask folks to rank them in the order that they like the songs from favorite to least favorite. I’ll give folks a week to post their list in this thread, and then I’ll calculate the results so you can see how close your list is to the combined scores.

After I calculate the combined scores from everyone’s list, I’ll post the list in the order of which songs had the highest points to the lowest. You will be able to see how close your list comes to the “master” list. If others post a list after a week, I’ll update it with their scores.

I'm not going to repeat all the rules again, but if you would like an overview of how this works, you can go here.

Okay, here we go – the songs for the Expando album are as follows:

One More Mile
Parachute
Friday Night
Ella Jean
White Boy from Sacramento
Compassion
Downtime
Melancholy
I Don't Mind
Secular Praise
A Good Day

So again, list these songs in the order of your most favorite to least favorite.

I did the above before I went back and looked at my original review. I knew it had changed some, especially Secular Praise moving to #1 over Parachute. Secular Praise still chokes me up today, every time I hear it. I absolutely LOVE that song--everything about it!!!! Looks like the rest of it is about the same.

Here's the link to my original review if anyone's interested. I loved reading it. Gave me a few chuckles.

One more thing--when I realized yesterday that it had been 2 years since seeing Timothy in concert and hearing the Expando songs for the first time, I brought it up on my Itunes and listened to part of it and again this morning, the same thing. Each time I heard the beginning of I Don't Mind, as soon as I heard the tuba, I found myself grinning from ear to ear. That still, 2 years later, cracks me up!!!

I heard Compassion yesterday, & while I like it I prefer most of the other songs. Also I don't seem to like Friday Night as much as other people. I do like it, but I don't love it.
