Tough draw for my 3 favorites. Looks like they're all going down and a couple are going to get smoked. They're all up against great songs though

Jamie's comment about clumped together songs is right on. There is only 1 song in here that I consider truly great, but a whole bunch that I like a lot, and none that are bad. The actual choices were easy though.

A close group. I really like most of these songs and it was hard to rank these from 1 to 16, but that's just for fun anyway. Fortunately all pairwise matchups were quite easy except for GH vs. VU and JaMC vs. R.

Just 2.5 hours left to vote. And there is a tie.

Nassim · Post by **Nassim** » Thu Jul 07, 2016 10:43 pm

No time to relisten to everything so only voting for brackets where I remember both songs well.

5970. Tom Jones - Delilah

5977. Eagle-Eye Cherry - Save Tonight

5964. Seal - Kiss from a Rose

5893. Florence + The Machine - Dog Days Are Over

5926. Renaud - Mistral Gagnant

5885. Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Storm
A good dozen Modest Mouse songs I would have voted for but the world at large loses by a small margin

Sweepstakes Ron · Post by **Sweepstakes Ron** » Thu Jul 07, 2016 10:57 pm

Nassim's vote has undone the tie but created another...
