 Now with "Get Together" and "What's The Use" off the palette the game gets just a bit tougher.
Which song is next to be voted off? |

It's time to turn away "Turn Away".

"Turn Away" is my choice to go. I love this song and it's one of my favorite of Richard's lead vocals - but when next to songs like "All Of My Life", "Eve" and others - well you know how it goes.
Bye Bye "Turn Away". |

You did mean to write "Get Together" and "What's The Use" as the eliminated songs, didn't you? |

I guess voting early is advised- while I slept and pondered one of my "top 15" went to pasture. Well any way, I have just listened to the collection again yesterday and today, and I am finding "Benediction" a little weak compared to "Invocation"- so that's my vote.

I tend to agree with you O.E. in that "Benediction" is not quite a intriguing as "Invocation". Although, I do love both pieces. It was quite daring for a group trying to make it in 1969 to do an overdubbed a capella choir like recording as these two songs. Carpenters were certainly cutting edge in their day. Who would of thunk it? |

I voted twice before for Benediction, but it still remains on the list while others have gone. I'm sure it, too, will fall soon. My reasons for voting it out of contention (not this round) include the piece is ground already covered ... in Invocation. I guess it is tough breaking bookend pieces. The same will probably happen when we get to the Horizon album and Aurora and Eventide. |

It sure will be tough when Horizon is up for the vote. I know what my least favorite of that album is- and voting it out won't get me elected mayor of Carpenterville- that's for sure!

Maybe we'll just SKIP Horizon altogether, eh? What, no Mayoral votes for you?  I'm not sure this wil do, at all! Too funny, O.E. I guess, if I must continue down this rough road of elimination, though it IS, indeed, tough, I'll have to say Benediction. I hate to break up the bookends, yes - however, it is so similar in musical structure as Invocation that one can be eliminated, and still, the feel of the song is still heard in the selection that remains. So long, Benediction. Tim |
