    I think it's too early for Visions to go. I love Felder's voice and wished he sang more than he did.

    I think that I'm going to wait a bit to cast my vote. It seems that either Visions or JOTS will be going down this round. Both are in the middle of my list from favorite to least favorite. I want to wait and see if the voting will go in either direction, and if it might be better to vote strategically for one of the songs that is lower on my list.

    Casting another vote for "Journey of the Sorcerer."

    Austin, I agree with you on "Visions." IMHO, Don F. has received a bad rap regarding his voice. He sounds great, too, on "Heavy Metal (Takin' a Ride)."

    I have to say I like Journey of the Sorcerer quite a lot and there are two songs I'd like to see go before it. Although the Eagles' vocals are great I feel there is more to their music than just this and I think the song is very creative and unique, and not just for the Eagles. JOTS was such a different way to use the banjo and I've always enjoyed it, especially the last couple of minutes or so.

    Therefore I have to go with Visions. I actually like this song a little, I don't skip it when listening to the full album. I agree with the people who think it's enjoyable, it is not great lyrically but as a fun rocker I don't think this is a problem (IMO it's not a world away from Chug All Night). Felder's lead vocals aren't brilliant but are fine on a song like this and the backing vocals are good. The main guitar riff is also not Felder's best but I do like the licks at the end of the song. However, these limitations do mean Visions seems substantially weaker to me than most of the other songs on the album. I certainly prefer it to IWYP but I think it is the least convincing of the songs left in the game.

    Absolutely. I think he could hold his own in the voice department.

    I vote for Visions. I don't mind the guitar riffs, but the song isn't very good - it makes "Chug All Night" seem like a lyrical masterpiece.

    I'm voting for Journey Of The Sorcerer.

    I'm not really into instrumental songs. Heck I even skip the instrumental songs on the Tommy album.
