Unacclaimed VII: Semi-finals, Week 1
The way this game works is that you will be given two sets of five songs, your job is to rank each of the sets from best to worst. First place gets 5 points, second gets 4 etc.
The song with the most points in each set will advance to the grand final. If there is a tie for points, then the song with more first place votes will advance. If they are tied on first place votes as well, there will be a sudden death tiebreak. Only the outright group winners will advance from this stage. No repechage!
Feel free to ask any questions, deadline is next Wednesday at 21:00 UTC.

What's with the low turnout all of a sudden?

Only song I'm not super into out of this is Strawberry Switchblade - a solid group came through (even if none of my choices did...)

The nature of these games often leads to unusual song combinations; however, I don't know if I've ever encountered one as funny as hearing a ubiquitous 80s hit after four obscurities. We are probably the only Spotify users ever who have listened to Amon Duul II and Outfield back to back.

This was a tightly packed group. I had never heard any of these songs before nor a single song by any of these artists, but each was interesting in its own way. I could have ranked these in a lot of different orders.
