So, this is an insanely tough matchup for me. During my last all-time song list update, these two ended up almost right next to each other. Neighborhood #1 was #288 and Sinnerman was #294. However, Neighborhood #1 has always been in that range, while this was the first time I actually ranked Sinnerman, which I mainly did after being reminded of its existence due to this song tournament.

Still, I think I'm going to have to give my vote to Neighborhood #1. I think it just barely edges out Sinnerman, but I could easily see myself changing this vote by the end of the week.

Both in my AT top 100, but this one is higher - and my favourite track off Funeral

Have not voted in this contest until now. Two great songs but SINNERMAN, one of the greatest songs of all time, and Neighborhood #1 merely a great song.

Didn't Sinnerman win unacclaimed once?

I didn't vote throughout this poll, but would support Sinnerman. I've come to like several songs from Funeral (Wake Up, Haiti, In the Backseat, and Rebellion (Lies)) ahead of Neighborhood #1.

Yes. It did well in other polls too.

So, this is not a surprising finale, but they are both good songs. Still, only one is in my top 100 and that is:

Sinnerman by Nina Simone!

No! How did I break my perfect attendance on the final, of all rounds? How am I such a lazy asshole?

I was going to vote Arcade Fire, I don’t think it makes a difference...

Might as well go with Neighborhood #1, but either one is pretty worthy.
