Round one is here. 64 songs from 1960 to 2022. What song will come out on top? First few rounds will be posted in batches of four Mondays and Thursdays. NOTICE: PLEASE DO NOT VOTE UNLESS YOU'VE HEARD BOTH SONGS. THEY'RE LIKE THREE MINUTES EACH IT ISN'T DIFFICULT. For this matchup, we start with: (18) Bon Iver - Holocene vs. (47) The Killers - Mr. Brightside
brightside at 47 feels like one of those years where Duke is like a 7 seed but still ends up winning the tournament. love BI,BI and love that song but it's the killers here for me. maybe the toughest choice yet.
Jesus Christ, that’s tough. Much as I love that Bon Iver song, though, I gotta be true to my die-hard Killers fandom. “Brightside.”
Fuck lol. Can't deny "Brightside," but I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't rather listen to "Holocene" these days like eight times out of ten
"Holocene" is just the one for me. Always preferred "Somebody Told Me" more off the Hot Fuss singles.
I feel like Bon Iver has had some brutal draws. Both perfect songs imo, but Brightside just hits too hard.
It’s almost like bob iver has written none of the top 64 songs of all time I kid I kid kind of, but it’s brightside by a mile for this guy
Brutal. Going "Holocene" on personal preference but no problem with "Mr. Brightside" moving on, and I'm sure I'll vote for it in some later round.
I like Mr. Brightside a lot and totally get why it’s here, but I think it’s Holocene still for me. It won’t win and that’s fine, given the purpose of this bracket it almost objectively shouldn’t lol
oh sorry lol. busy work day. mr brightside wins with 73%. i'm coming out of my cage and i've seen enough to call it working on the next batch
