Round 7

1. David Bowie - Lazarus
2. Goodie Mob - Cell Therapy
3. M.I.A. - Paper Planes
4. The Doors - L.A. Woman
5. The Waterboys - Fisherman's Blues
6. The Cult - Love Removal Machine
7. Cartoons - Witch Doctor
8. Soundgarden - Room a Thousand Years Wide
9. Depeche Mode - Stripped
10. Magnetic Fields - The Book of Love
11. Paula Abdul - Straight Up

This round was fire. David Bowie, legend of legends, giving us one last masterwork before his untimely passing. "Paper Planes" remains a banger no matter how many times I hear it. "Fisherman's Blues" might be my favorite first-time listen of the tourney so far. "Witch Doctor" would get annoying on repeat, but it excavated childhood memories I'd forgotten. I love pretty much everything The Doors ever recorded. "Love Removal Machine" and "Room a Thousand Years Wide" kick ass. Even the songs ranked at the bottom are very good. "Straight Up" goes last just because I've heard it too many times, but it's still a fun song.

R8 nom:
Chappell Roan - Good Luck, Babe!
