That last pairing is trash, surely there was something worthy from the first round...

Some interesting match ups in this round:
Mungo vs Big Country - Mungo beat a pretty good round 1 opponent handily, so this will probably be close Dougless vs Verve - Kung Fu Fighting got the most votes of any song in round 1, but Bittersweet Symphony has a pretty solid following...this one could also be very close Greenbaum vs Len - two very different songs, 2 very similar vote totals from round 1... Bainbridge vs Taco - weak weak pairing...will make the above winner's road pretty easy in the next round |

Ritz is completely annoying. I can at least tolerate Mouth.
Kung Fu and Sunshine easy picks for me. Really think In the Summertime is underrated so went with that. |

I'll be voting "Spirit in the Sky" until the Final 4. Then ... we'll see.

I adore mungojerry's freakishly big head
bittersweet is one of my favorites from the 90s, especially the video spirit in the sky has never done a thing for me. Len was a crappy band with this really amazing little one hit wonder. So pleasant and taco is taco |

Significantly less voters in this group from group A...
Big Country vs Mungo Jerry - nice win, against tough opponent, but another interesting match up coming up next round. Dougless vs Verve - thought this might end up being more lopsided. Greenbaum vs Len - I also expected this one to be closer... Taco vs Bainbridge - didn't know what to expect, but it wasn't taco in a blowout, with the most votes in the group and the highest margin of victory...I realize the bainbridge tune has something to do with that, but I would've expected more adverse selection on Ritz... |
