Hope you got your things together.
Hope you are quite prepared to die.

[divemaster]

Another tough choice.

I always cast my vote before checking the status or reading the discussion. The general consensus or folks' reasoning--it's all pretty interesting. For example, Bill provided a movie connection.

I ended up voting Creedence Clearwater Revival - Bad Moon Rising (1969). MY movie connection tipped the scales. The transformation scene in An American Werewolf in London. I was 13 or 14 when I saw it, and this was probably the first movie I saw where I noticed the choice of songs for the soundtrack and how perfectly the songs for this movie worked with what was showing on the screen. Inspired!

[Jon]

I voted for Bad Moon as I felt it was just a bit better

[mae]

The poll has closed. "Bad Moon Rising" will face The Mamas and the Papas - California Dreamin' (1966) in the Finals.
