As a compliment to the Planet Earth survivor threads, which reward the songs that are the least offensive to people, I thought I would run a poll to see which ones incite the most love. There are some songs on there that are likely to divide the fanbase and thus suffer in a survivor where they may thrive in a poll of this type. So, without further ado, rank the songs on Planet Earth and assign each a rating from 0 to 10. I'll keep tabs.

Here is my list.

1. Lion of Judah- 10
2. Planet Earth- 10
3. The 1 U Wanna C- 10
4. Somewhere Here on Earth- 10
5. Resolution- 8
6. All the Midnights in the World- 7
7. Chelsea Rodgers- 7
8. Mr. Goodnight- 4
9. Guitar- 4
10. Future Baby Mama- 2

I can't figure out the dislike for Guitar... I think it's a catchy song, and while it still bothers me that the song fades when Prince is starting to crank the guitar up, I still enjoy the guitar work throughout.

Listen to "I Will Follow" by U2 and you will see why it is hard to appreciate Guitar. The original was better and I can't figure out why he decided to change it. Was it a sneaky way to get us to pay for it twice?

Future Baby Mama 3
Planet Earth 1
Chelsea Rodgers 2
Guitar 1

Everything else 0
