This has been tough! I am finding that there are a lot of songs that I love as part of the album they're from, but as individual songs I wouldn't necessarily rate them highly. I guess that's the criterion of the tournament though.

Thank you for your votes Adam (welcome back!) and Under a CPell. I have a similar feeling to Adam, in that, while I am usually fairly sure of what my favourites are (at any given moment) within an album, when it comes to making comparisons across two different albums, it's a much harder thing to do.

I found it very hard to vote against Anecdotes (a perfect song and my favourite from Divers) in both sets but I'm forcing myself not to accept ties and I'm not quite ready to unseat my older favourites.

Thank you for your votes, madpawn, Julia, Headless_Caboose, and Alex Ysoltsev.
Headless_Caboose's closing comments chimed with me, too, although I did (reluctantly) allow myself to award ties. I do think there is a reluctance for us to change our past voting patterns, out of loyalty to songs we've loved (and still do, of course) for many years. I tend to need the newer songs to prove themselves over a year or three before accepting that they may be even better than some of the old favourites. It's interesting to note that perhaps the most 'underperforming' song this year, based on prior results, is Sapokanikan, which was probably the one we'd got longest to be familiar with in 2015. It achieved 4th place last time, but maybe this year will be settling into a truer position. However, I also suspect that those of us that are still here on MM might be the more 'conservative' among Joanna's fans, and so more resistant to changing our old patterns. These two points contradict one another.
Anyway - there are just about 26 hours left to vote for these sets, as I aim to close the polls at the end of Saturday (UK time).

I'm with Under A CPell on the identification of the 'anti-war' song as What We Have Known - with lines like the following, one can certainly make a case for this:
And all the baby boys we've born / With eyes averted from the storm / Sent off to die in perfect form / We know now what we have known
Satellite photos rhetoric / See how the euphemisms stick / And when they come back broke and burned / Those who return have no return
The clap-along of course is Yarn & Glue (which I had as my ringtone for a while, before having to conform to the manufacturer's default!)
My votes for sets 9 & 10 are as below. I seem to be having more and more ties.

Hi Adam. I'm glad that Under a CPell's and my comments were helpful.
Although "What We Have Known" was pre-MEM (early 2004) in that it first came out on Yarn & Glue (2003), don't forget that a re-recorded version also appeared on the Sprout & The Bean CD single later in 2004. It then came out as its own 12" vinyl single in 2011 - I have never unwrapped my copy, but I understand it contains the same version as the one from the 2004 single. The latter had no 'B' side. Strangely, if you exclude the Colleen EP, she has released only two singles, and both contained "What We Have Known".
Of the songs that appeared on Yarn & Glue, only the title track and "What We Have Known" did not appear on MEM, but the other pre-MEM self-released CD, Walnut Whales, contained three songs that have never appeared again - "Erin", "Flying a Kite", and "The Fray". All three are well worth a listen: considering "Erin" was the first song on her first tentative CD, I think it's remarkably mature; "The Fray" is touchingly personal and I do find it whimsical (a word that is I think over-used and almost always wrongly used to describe much of her early work). And if you haven't heard it, you must youtube "Flying A Kite" which is perhaps Joanna's "What's The New Mary Jane"... And do listen out for the line "You blush, Ink Boy", the mondegreen which gives rise to the word you'll see on the right of this posting! Incidentally, Walnut Whales also contains a very interesting and extended version of "En Gallop" which I listen to a lot - as one of my very favourite Joanna songs [which you've probably guessed anyway!], my listening is split about 50/50 between this version with a whole additional section and lyrics, and the edited and more crisply recorded version on MEM.
