Hard Candy Miami Two of my favorite songs of all time. “Miami” is maybe the only song in the catalog I’d consider voting for instead of “Round Here,” if those two come head to head at some point. The challengers are great too, but these are easy calls for me.
Hard Candy Miami All great songs. I want to say this is maybe their most consistent album? But I don’t feel like any of the prior three albums are inconsistent so I don’t know why I’m thinking that.
Hard Candy Goodnight L.A. (since this has been a recent obsession of mine and "Miami" will win anyway...)
And this round comes to a near unanimous close, foiled only because @duritzfan13 had to be different! Butterfly in Reverse - 0 Hard Candy - 7 Miami - 6 Goodnight L.A. - 1 “Butterfly in Reverse” now joins the ranks of shut outs in the bracket, which feels more wrong than usual. Round Three begins next!
Hard Candy ROUND THREE 1.) New Frontier vs. If I Could Give All My Love, or: Richard Manuel is Dead 2.) Why Should You Come When I Call? vs. Up All Night (Frankie Miller Goes to Hollywood) 3.) Holiday in Spain vs. Hard Candy 4.) American Girls vs. Miami
If I Could Give All My Love, or: Richard Manuel is Dead Up All Night (Frankie Miller Goes to Hollywood) Hard Candy Miami These should be the top four from this album, imo. All fantastic songs.
If I Could Give All My Love (I don’t know if I don’t care for New Frontier just because of “Come on children mind the gap,” but man, that line irks me every time.) Up All Night (WSYCWIC is great but it’s never been a favourite.) Holiday in Spain (Tough call) Miami (Tougher call. The two best pop songs they’ve written, maybe? The chorus of American Girls is probably the best one on here, but the outro of Miami is one of my favourite moments in their entire catalogue.)
If I Could Give All My Love, or: Richard Manuel is Dead Up All Night (Frankie Miller Goes to Hollywood) Holiday in Spain Miami
Current Totals ———————— New Frontier - 0 If I Could Give All My Love, or: Richard Manuel is Dead - 4 Why Should You Come When I Call? - 0 Up All Night (Frankie Miller Goes to Hollywood) - 4 Holiday in Spain - 3 Hard Candy - 1 American Girls - 1 Miami - 3
New Frontier Up All Night (easy, but definitely hurts to vote against WSYCWIC) Hard Candy (tough.. but this was my #1 for a while) Miami
Richard Manuel Is Dead Up All Night Holiday in Spain Miami These ones were tough. Holiday in Spain vs. Hard Candy has been the toughest one of all of these so far.
And Round Three is closed! Winners in bold... New Frontier - 1 If I Could Give All My Love, or: Richard Manuel is Dead - 5 Why Should You Come When I Call? - 0 Up All Night (Frankie Miller Goes to Hollywood) - 6 Holiday in Spain - 4 Hard Candy - 2 American Girls - 1 Miami - 5 Round Four up next!
Hard Candy ROUND FOUR 1.) If I Could Give All My Love, or: Richard Manuel is Dead vs. Up All Night (Frankie Miller Goes to Hollywood) 2.) Holiday in Spain vs. Miami Which long ass song title will I have to type out in the final round?
