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

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

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

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

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. Last edited by Breeze : 01-08-2020 at 11:43 AM. |

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... |
