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: (24) Japandroids - The House That Heaven Built vs. (41) The Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Maps
the first one that really gave me pause. went japandroids. have been a fan of maps longer but HTHB really had a moment for me in a way few other songs do
Ugh this one’s so tough, but “when they love you, and they will, tell them all they’ll love in my shadow” has been a deeply meaningful line for me at a few times in my life. Gotta go with the one that means more to me.
Like both a lot but I prefer Younger Us. The run of those 2 plus Continuous Thunder is an all time closing trio.
Never really got the hype for “Maps.” We already sent the better version of that song to the next round. I also just adore “The House That Heaven Built.” Easy pick for me.
“Maps” is an excellent song that I have heard enough times to last me a lifetime. I never need to hear it again. Undeniable tune though.
