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:

(9) Robyn - Dancing on My Own

vs.

(56) My Chemical Romance - Hang 'Em High

 

if it were one of a few other songs, my chem might have gotten my vote, but as it stands i have no clue how this is the one that made it. robyn.

 

Robyn

 

Dancing on my own is the greatest song of all time

 

lol

 

Listened again and still not a big fan of the Robyn song. "Hang 'Em High" is in my top 5 of all time. Might be the easiest possible matchup in the whole bracket for me.

 

I think the Robyn song is pretty overrated, but I also like it more of these two.

 

Go Phils

 

Robyn by a million

 

I looooove hang’em but dancing on my own is just legendary

 

I’m proud of hang ‘em highs inclusion here (was my #1) and Robyns song is fine but no where near as raw and in your face energy like I get with my chem. The subjectivity is wild.

 

Only heard Dancing on My Own for the first time last year when the Red Sox used it as their playoff celebration song. I was never huge on MCR though so it gets my vote

 

“Dancing on My Own” is asserting itself as a classic and one of the definitive songs of its era. No sense getting in the way of history, y'all. Plus it fucking rules.

 

I have literally never heard of Robyn, or seen the name before. I’ve never heard this song before either. I always find it amusing how in the dark I am with music.

 

robyn moves on with 70% of the vote. next batch tomorrow.

 

next batch is up
