Re: Best of the B-Sides: Semifinals
Climbing Up the Walls
The Great Curve
I'll be surprised if anything but The Great Curve takes this.
I mentioned this before, but there are two songs from Illinois that I would take over pretty much every song featured in this tournament; The Predatory Wasp of the Palisades and They Are Night Zombies. The Predatory Wasp especially; I consider it a centerpiece of the album.

3 of my 4 favorites from this game are still alive, what an unusual twist.

I think "Crown of Love" or "In the Backseat" would have done well, but I thought all of the choices were good.

I choose Radiohead and Talking Heads.
Discussion: I'm a noob, I don't really know B-Sides.

I confess I'm not a particularly huge fan of any of the remaining songs. Of the songs I voted for in the quarters, only Radiohead survived (really, really hoped Jeff Buckley would make it), and "CUtW" is far from my favorite track on OKC.

Re: Best of the B-Sides: Semifinals
From the top of my head it would have been "Exit Music (For a Film)" but I can't complain, "Climbing Up the Walls" may even win the whole game.BleuPanda wrote:Which eligible song do you most wish was in this tournament?

The second matchup was very close. "Mysterons" made me revisit a great album I hadn't thought much of the first time around.

I just wanted to be one of those ghosts
You thought that you could forget
And then I haunt you via the rear view mirror

Remember that this is the last day to vote. Only 8 and a half hours remain.
Re: Best of the B-Sides: Semifinals
We very well could have a repeat of a match that took place in the first round, just like the most recent unacclaimed.

Easy vote on the first match, but anyone could win on the second:
