Whispers of the North 15 Ringneck Loon 3

Seems like no contest on this one. I'm with the majority too. I love the sound of Whispers. The harmonies are awesome and I always enjoy the loon call at the beginning. I haven't posted a showdown for a while, so I decided I'd better revive them before they get lost in the archives. So for number 22, I'm pitting two seafaring songs together. I'm curious to see what the thought is on the following matchup:

Triangle

vs.

Ghosts of Cape Horn

They're both great songs, so I think the voting will be tight, but you tell me...Which do you prefer in this showdown.

Have fun.

MM

P.S. Next time I'll put the history of the votes at the end so that you don't have to scroll down all the time.

You have been missing awhile.

Ghosts of Cape Horn.

You're right, this is really a toughie! I have to go with Triangle, and if I'm outvoted, I'll just say "it's a mighty fine way to go down".

Not so tough for me. TRIANGLE!
:)

Ghosts of Cape Horn!

not that tough.
Triangle

(although my son would strongly disagree)

Ghosts of Cape Horn - my first Lightfoot song!

That's quite a pair of songs M.M.! ;) Much as I love "Ghosts Of Cape Horn" (especially the whistling),I have to go a few points higher with,of course,"Triangle".

Jaunty and fun to sing along with. :)

Ryan wants to vote!

I was so sure there would be "no contest" for this, that is how much I like Ghosts.

Triangle, triangle see my ship dangle...

YOU! are not Ryan.

Definitely Try-Angle!! :D :D

Ghosts of Cape Horn. My 12-year-old votes for Triangle. (does she count?)

It's a close one, but I have to go with Triangle.

Ghosts of Cape Horn!

Triangle. One of the first 12-string songs I learned.
