I think it will be interesting, but I don't think it will be close at all.

This one was tough for me...they both are favorite songs of mine.

Had to go with OPH though.

OPH has it. FSOTW is nice, but no comparison.

This is because One Particular Harbour is the #8 song overall while Far Side of the World is #57 overall on the Songs Played the Most List in the BN Song Database.

Much as I love FSOTW, this is a no-brainer.

OPH is my favorite song....any artist.

It is far too early on a hangover wednesday to choose between these two great songs. Obviously, OPH will win by a land slide but I bet many parrot heads took a few momemts considering Far Side - I did; and they both have a similiar message . . . aaaarrg!

I appreciate those of you that have voted for Far Side....but with OPH being the classic that it is, I had to go with it.

OPH was played at our wedding. How could I not vote for it?

By far this was the hardest choice

I always loved OPH but Far Side sticks in my head when ever I play it.

I'm not surprised that OPH is dominating, but I think some of that is the longevity of the song. FSOTW is easily one of my favorites from the recent past and will stand the test of time. That being said, OPH has just been around too long not to be the sentimental favorite.

2 seeds rarely are upset by a 15 seed...OPH is on the way to Final Four :D

Far Side is my all time favorite Buffett song, but OPH is probably #3. It's unfortunate Far Side ran into this buzz saw in the first round because I was curious as to how far it would go. Guess I'll have to wait until next year to find out....

OPH has final 4 written all over it. Frankly, I'm surprised FSOTW is getting nearly 20% of the vote!
