Note: I added lines in spoiler tags because I didn't want lines to somehow influence voting, but thought it might be fun to have...I can drop it if you don't like it...

a-ha vs Glitter - Glitter has had about as tough a road to this point as anybody, which makes it hard to judge the total support the song gets when both opponents were strong, but I don't think the support is strong enough to overcome a-ha and their bracket leading 81 total votes through 2 rounds.

Line:

a-ha by 12


Blondes vs Cohn - Blondes has 59 votes so far and Cohn has 56, but it's pretty easy to argue that Cohn has had the tougher road so far...

Line:

Cohn by 5


Big Country vs Verve - really tough call here...both had tough match ups last round, vote totals so far for both have been similar...size of voter turnout could be the difference here:

Line:

The Verve by 3


Greenbaum vs Taco - I think this might just be the biggest blow out in round 3

Line:

Greenbaum by 30

[BYU 14]

I am just happy to see a song that can finally eliminate Taco.

[Butter]

I hate that 4 Non Blondes song so much. That is all.

[Warhammer]

I don't despise Bittersweet Symphony, but not sure how it is beating In a Big Country like it is.

[Vince, Pt. II]

This is going to get real tough real quick.

[CrimsonFox]

doodoodoodoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooodit HEY!

[CrimsonFox]

no change I can change I can change I can change but I'm here in my mode I can hear in my mode

[tarcone]

My vote in the last option didnt take. I may have unchecked,.

I shose Puttin' on the Ritz.

[tarcone]

Take On Me getting the re-mastered bump in this vote I Imagine.

[CrimsonFox]

sad that i no longer like take on me anymore. heard it too much
i still like puttin on the ritz

[Ryche]

Big Country is easily my 3rd favorite song in that group, unfortunately Bittersweet Symphony is 2nd after What's Up.

[NobodyHere]

Big Country vs The Verve may be my hardest choice yet.

[CrimsonFox]

What's Up was ruined by a thousand drunk chicks at karaoke bars...only worse songs are black velvet and me and bobby mcgee

I'll keep it in mind when I do the tally...

[Breeze]

I guess I forgot to set an end time on this pool...(you'd think I'd stop screwing stuff up at this point...)

I'll close this poll 1/9 at 10 AM EST.

Though I like it, I'll give you Black Velvet. But holy hell how can you not like Me and Bobby McGee?!!?

[Breeze]

just over an hour left to vote on this one...

[Warhammer]

Gah, if Big Country loses by a vote I am not going to be happy...

[Breeze]

poll is closed...

[Breeze]

a-ha vs Glitter - a-ha continues to rack up the votes...getting 39 out of 43 voters...going to be tough to beat.

4 Non Blonds vs Cohn - knew it would be tight...and it came down to 1 vote...

Big Country vs The Verve - interesting the way this match up played out...Bittersweet got out to a big lead which prompted warhammer's comment, but Big Country came back to tie. Then The Verve opened a second big lead only to see that evaporate as Big Country tied again. Then The Verve reeled off 3 straight votes to take a 21 to 18 vote lead, Big Country got 2 of the 3 back before time ran out...

Greenbaum vs Taco - No surprise here...

[Carman Bulldog]

Gah, if Big Country loses by a vote I am not going to be happy...

So disappointing.

[CrimsonFox]

Though I like it, I'll give you Black Velvet. But holy hell how can you not like Me and Bobby McGee?!!?

[CrimsonFox]

So disappointing.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
