    Chelsea
    Accidentally In Love

    Love and Addiction

    Also, A&EA is like the b-side. It was released on the flip of "Hanginaround," I still have the CD. The "Tuesday" studio recording wasn't attached to anything because an ex (I think Courtney Cox) would've had a co-write credit, but Adam posted it on Twitter at one point. Not saying it should be included, although it's one of the greats, but just a note.

    She haunts the roads

    Welp, got another tiebreaker on my hands. “She Don’t Want Nobody Near” is great, but in the end, Shrek 2 always wins.

    Goin’ Down to New York Town (“Chelsea” rips, but this is a cool punky song deserving of love)

    Accidentally in Love

    Einstein on the Beach (For an Eggman)

    Love and Addiction (looks like some of you forgot how to sing like hummingbirds)

    Which makes our winners...

    Goin’ Down to New York Town - 1
    Chelsea - 6

    Accidentally in Love - 4
    She Don’t Want Nobody Near - 3

    Baby, I’m a Big Star Now - 4
    Einstein on the Beach (For an Eggman) - 3

    Love and Addiction - 3
    Sessions - 4

    Round Three next!

    Duly noted!

    But I swear to you, I could not find a version of “August and Everything After” that wasn’t a live recording.

    Pressure's mountin' but I don't Everest

    Y’all are crazy. Einstein on the Beach may be the catchiest song they have ever written, Mr Jones included.

    Yeah it's the live version on the CD, so there is no studio version (yet).

    Accidentally in Love

    These were tough but I gotta give AIL a vote since it was the song that introduced me to this band haha

    Accidentally In Love (This one was extremely difficult for me. I think that Chelsea is the “better song” but I just enjoy Accidentally In Love a bit more)

    Sessions (This is about dead even too...I’ll give the tiebreaker to Sessions because at least it’s on Apple Music)

    FINAL ROUND

    Accidentally in Love vs. Baby, I’m a Big Star Now

    Seeing as it’s Christmas Eve, this round will also remain open for 48 hours. I will post my list of potential covers tomorrow for you all to peruse and add to at your leisure.

    Happy Holidays, everyone! :tree:

    I’ll commit to letting Accidentally in Love take it home. It’s the song that introduced me to the band, too :)

    Tough. I think I’ll go “Baby, I’m a Big Star Now” just cause it’s so underrated

    So what all will be included in the covers round?

    I’m assuming:

    the entirety of Underwater Sunshine (17 songs)
    Big Yellow Taxi
    Friend Of The Devil
    The Ghost In You

    Anything else?

    Criminy, 48+ hours to decide a winner and we still came to a tie!

    I cast my vote for “Accidentally in Love,” the deserving winner of this whole round!

    Accidentally in Love - 3
    Baby, I’m a Big Star Now - 2

    My apologies for my recent slips in keeping this thread updated. In my defense, yesterday was Christmas, but either way, daddy probably needs a break after this bracket it wrapped up.

    I don’t have the official match-ups for Covers done yet, since I wanted make sure y’all felt my list was complete. I will post the list for your approval in just a minute...

    She haunts the roads

    For the potential covers contenders, @bachna84 covered nearly all of them. They would include all of Underwater Sunshine, which covers...

    Untitled (Love Song)
    Start Again
    Hospital
    Mercy
    Meet on the Ledge
    Like Teenage Gravity
    Amie
    Coming Around
    Ooh La La
    All My Failures
    Return of the Grievous Angel
    Four White Stallions
    Jumping Jesus
    You Ain’t Going Nowhere
    The Ballad of El Goodo
    Borderline
    Girl from the North Country

    And then these stragglers...

    Mean Jumper Blues
    This Land is Your Land
    Big Yellow Taxi
    Friend of the Devil

    Didn’t run into “The Ghost in You,” can anyone remind me where that came from?

    Does this list look acceptable to people?

    There's also the cover of "Blues Run The Game" that would probably be my winner if it gets in. It's from the iTunes Live from SoHo album.
