Women will be your undoing, Pépé
ROUND 1 DAY 1

Dj Snake ft. Justin Bieber - Let Me Love You VS. Elvis Presley - It's Now or Never
He's the King for a reason

Britney Spears - Toxic VS. Prince - 1999
one of the only songs I like by Britney and a great song by Prince; I had to flip a coin cuz I couldn't really decide

The Zombies - Time of the Season VS. The White Stripes-Jolene (Live)
Jack DOES a good job on Jolene by I've always loved The Zombies

Ten Years After - I'd Love To Change The World VS. Naked Eyes - Always Something There to Remind Me
great song from the past

Belinda Carlisle - Heaven Is A Place On Earth VS. The Monkees - Gettin' In
surprisingly I liked this one just a little bit more

David Cassidy - Could It Be Forever VS. The Pretty Reckless - Follow Me Down
one of my favorite from this band

Five Man Electrical Band-Signs
VS. Linda Perhacs - Hey, Who Really Cares?
while Tesla DOES an excellent version I'm pretty happy to hear the original BRAVO

Miley Cyrus - Wrecking Ball VS. Liam Gallagher - Greedy Soul
feelin the Greedy Soul more



Miley Cyrus - Wrecking Ball VS. Liam Gallagher - Greedy Soul

Isn't Liam Gallagher the Oasis guy?
Yes, he is. He just went solo this year.

Women will be your undoing, Pépé
ROUND 1 DAY 2

John Mayer - Daughters VS. Derek & The Dominoes - Bell Bottom Blues
Mayer has a good song but hey, it's Eric Clapton in disguise!

Neil Diamond - Only You VS. Santana-She's Not There
my ultimate favorite for Santana tied with Evil Ways

Lamb - Gold VS. Hole - Violet
bit of a hard call really

Miley Cyrus - Malibu VS. Kim Wilde - You Keep Me Hangin' On
the kids in america girl! For a pop version of The Supreme song, its pretty good

Massive Attack feat. Mos Def - I Against I VS. Buffalo Springfield - For What It's Worth
stand up to the man, man!

Kenny Rogers - Blaze of Glory VS. Dio - Don't Talk To Strangers
absolutely love this song from Dio's first album

Aereogramme - Living Backwards VS. Talking Heads - Once In A Lifetime
always had trouble taking that Talking Heads song seriously and rather enjoyed the lyrical aesthetics of the first one

Adele - Set Fire to the Rain VS. Marty Balin - Hearts
another VERY serious hard call - nearly had to go with the coin again



Let the night air cool you off
"Once In a Lifetime" is the best song in this tournament... (I didn't look at the list of all the songs, I'm just hypothesizing based on "Once In a Lifetime" is an awesome song)

It's not in my top 5 from the band but it is great. They had alot of great songs.



You can't make a rainbow without a little rain.
ROUND 1 DAY 2

John Mayer - Daughters VS. Derek & The Dominoes - Bell Bottom Blues

Neil Diamond - Only You VS. Santana-She's Not There (Is that the original version of "She's Not There"? The song sounds familiar, but different from how I remember it.)

Lamb - Gold VS. Hole - Violet (I didn't really like either song, but I disliked the first one less.)

Miley Cyrus - Malibu VS. Kim Wilde - You Keep Me Hangin' On (The second song is another one that sounds different than I remember it. Is that a cover version of "You Keep Me Hangin' On"?)

Massive Attack feat. Mos Def - I Against I VS. Buffalo Springfield - For What It's Worth

Kenny Rogers - Blaze of Glory VS. Dio - Don't Talk To Strangers

Aereogramme - Living Backwards VS. Talking Heads - Once In A Lifetime

Adele - Set Fire to the Rain VS. Marty Balin - Hearts (I might have voted for "Set Fire to the Rain" if it wasn't up against Marty Balin.)



ROUND 1 DAY 2

John Mayer - Daughters VS. Derek & The Dominoes - Bell Bottom Blues
Neil Diamond - Only You VS. Santana-She's Not There
Lamb - Gold VS. Hole - Violet
Miley Cyrus - Malibu VS. Kim Wilde - You Keep Me Hangin' On
Massive Attack feat. Mos Def - I Against I VS. Buffalo Springfield - For What It's Worth
Kenny Rogers - Blaze of Glory VS. Dio - Don't Talk To Strangers
Aereogramme - Living Backwards VS. Talking Heads - Once In A Lifetime
Adele - Set Fire to the Rain VS. Marty Balin - Hearts



ROUND 1 DAY 2

Guess I need to choose a new colour to write in.

John Mayer - Daughters VS. Derek & The Dominoes - Bell Bottom Blues
Kind of hard to choose. I LOL at Clapton writing songs about having the hots for Harrison's wife and should probably vote for that because...dude! But I've never heard that John Mayer song. It's quite pretty.


Neil Diamond - Only You VS. Santana-She's Not There
Tough one! I could vote either way, but am feeling Santana this morning.

Lamb - Gold VS. Hole - Violet
That's a wicked beat, and OMG what a band. Lamb was straightup amazing.


Miley Cyrus - Malibu VS. Kim Wilde - You Keep Me Hangin' On
Ugh, Miley Cyrus. But I do like Kim Wilde.


Massive Attack feat. Mos Def - I Against I VS. Buffalo Springfield - For What It's Worth
Massive Attack is gold with whomever they team up. Their dark undercurrents are everything.


Kenny Rogers - Blaze of Glory VS. Dio - Don't Talk To Strangers
Oh hai Dio! Funny, I keep voting for him, and I'm not even a fan. I mean, I always respected him, but he's never been a fav.


Aereogramme - Living Backwards VS. Talking Heads - Once In A Lifetime
Beautiful song, sad, layered, and Scottish.

Adele - Set Fire to the Rain VS. Marty Balin - Hearts

Hey, @cat_sidhe I'm not a fan of Miley either, but what do you think of this performance?:

I'll watch that when I get home, with headphones. (kinda tiny speakers here, so it wouldn't do her any justice at all if I listened right now. I'll get back to you with a proper opinion! )



John Mayer - Daughters VS. Derek & The Dominoes - Bell Bottom Blues
The first resonated with me because I have a daughter

Neil Diamond - Only You VS. Santana-She's Not There
The first was just okay. The second kicks ass


Lamb - Gold VS. Hole - Violet
Courtney Love was such a badass back in the 90's


Miley Cyrus - Malibu VS. Kim Wilde - You Keep Me Hangin' On
I can't stomach Miley Cyrus, and I like the second song a lot


Massive Attack feat. Mos Def - I Against I VS. Buffalo Springfield - For What It's Worth
First was cool, but I can't vote against the hippie song


Kenny Rogers - Blaze of Glory VS. Dio - Don't Talk To Strangers
Tough one. I like both. First wins based on the nostalgic factor


Aereogramme - Living Backwards VS. Talking Heads - Once In A Lifetime
First was cool, but that Talking Heads deserves to win a tourney


Adele - Set Fire to the Rain VS. Marty Balin - Hearts
Easy win for Adele
