and Film Noir will advance to Round 2

HOWEVER we are still in Round 1. The next phase of matches will be:

Great Expectations vs. Halloween

Handwritten vs. Have Mercy

Helter Skeleton vs. Here Comes My Man

Here's Looking At You, Kid vs. High Lonesome

Hold You Up vs. Howl

GO!!!!

 

Great Expectations
Handwritten
Here Comes My Man
High Lonesome
Howl

"High Lonesome" vs. "Here's Looking at You, Kid" is a tough one. Otherwise, these are easy picks for me.

 

Great Expectations
Handwritten
Helter Skeleton
Here’s Looking at You (FUCK this is a hard one)
Howl

 

Great Expectations (a sleeper to win the whole thing IMO)
Handwritten
Here Comes My Man
Here's Looking At You, Kid
Howl

 

Great Expectations (3) vs. Halloween (0)

Handwritten (3) vs. Have Mercy (0)

Helter Skeleton (1) vs. Here Comes My Man (2)

Here's Looking At You, Kid (2) vs. High Lonesome (1)

Hold You Up (0) vs. Howl (3)

 

I could see it, honestly.

 

I didn't think "Helter Skeleton" would get any votes, let alone one of the first three!

 

Great Expectations
Have Mercy
Here Comes My Man
Here's Looking At You, Kid
Howl

 

I am assuming '59 Sound will be in the finals v. something else, and if it were Great Expectations, I'd vote Great Expectations.

 

however, if this is set up the way it is, we could be looking at The '59 Sound v. The Backseat

and i'm gonna rage quit

I would shed a single tear. Then I would vote for "The Backseat" without hesitation. Those are both great songs, but "The Backseat" is their best song, imo.

 

If it comes to that and i have to be the tie-breaker I probably would too. It's the first song I ever heard from the band.

 

Great Expectations

Handwritten

Here Comes My Man

Here's Looking At You, Kid- Tough match-up but this is my favorite song of theirs. Seeing it live solidified that for me

Howl
