I argued in some thread that there is much less consensus regarding what the best songs are on Backspacer then there are on other records. Lets find out.
Rank the songs on backspacer in the following way
Good/Great songs
Average Songs
Below Average songs
I'll leave this open for a week or so and then we'll tally this up (3 points for good/great, 1 for average, 0 for below average)

I'm still a Backspacer defender. I actually really like it.
I'll rank them like this:
Great: The End
Good: Johnny Guitar Force of Nature Gonna See My Friend Got Some Unthought Known Just Breathe
Kinda lame: Amongst the Waves Speed of Sound Supersonic
Bad: The Fixer
Is kinda lame average or below average? I want to try and assign points so I need the same categories

Good/Great: Great-- The End Really good--Unthought Known Good--Just Breathe (on its way to average though, probably)
Average: Amongst the Waves, Got Some, Speed of Sound
Below average: Force of Nature, Johnny Guitar
Down right bad: Gonna See My Friends, Supersonic, The Fixer
I can't get either Speed of Sound or Force of Nature in my head. They might be the other way around. Or maybe both should be below average because I can't even place them, that's how forgettable they are.

The only song I really don't like is Force of Nature. I don't get the love for that song.
I love it. I think it has a great melody. I like the percussion and piano parts. And the lyrics are great.
I kind of like the verses and that piano is cool, but to me, the chorus and outro sound too much like that cheesy Inside Joby crap Mike's been writing lately.
