Old Haunts (6) vs. Old White Lincoln (17) Orphans (13) vs. Red at Night (10) Red in the Morning (11) vs. Red Violins (12) Rollin' and Tumblin' (10) vs. Say I Won't (Recognize) (13) Selected Poems (6) vs. Senor & The Queen (17) Lots of gaps closing here!!!
Typically, however, when alphabetizing you would ignore the articles – a, an, and the – and alphabetize by the next word. I’m fine you did it that way, the matchups will get hard at some point anyway, but I think that’s what @CarpetElf was getting at.
Old White Lincoln Red At Night Red Violins Rollin and Tumblin (one of the hardest ones yet...both top 15 songs for me) Selected Poems
That's true, I just felt like I should remain true to what the song titles are. Reading back to my original comment, it did come across like I was trying to be a dick. Sorry about that @CarpetElf I was just being facetious.
Old Haunts (6) vs. Old White Lincoln (21) Orphans (14) vs. Red at Night (13) Red in the Morning (13) vs. Red Violins (14) Rollin' and Tumblin' (13) vs. Say I Won't (Recognize) (15) Selected Poems (7) vs. Senor & The Queen (20) Two matches that are too close to call now! I'll keep this round open for another 2 hours to see the gaps widen or if Red at Night and Red in the Morning can pull ahead.
I admittedly did, and I changed my vote from Red to Orphans because I thought it was a different red, and I sort of wish I hadn't, because i think Red at Night is my favorite acoustic TGA song, but, Orphans is a top 3 American Slang song for me so I'm fine with it winning.
Okay, it seems the counts have stopped coming in. Thanks for your votes everyone! This means that... Old White Lincoln Orphans Red Violins Say I Won't (Recognize) and Senor & the Queen will advance to Round 2 HOWEVER we are still in Round 1. The next phase of matches will be: She Loves You vs. Stay Lucky Stay Vicious vs. Stray Paper Sweet Morphine vs. Teenage Rebellion The '59 Sound vs. The Backseat The Diamond Street Church Choir vs. The Navesink Banks GO!!!! (Godspeed to you all in this phase of matches haha)
Stay Lucky Stay Vicious Sweet Morphine The '59 Sound (You've gotta be fucking kidding me with this matchup) The Diamond Street Church Choir
She Loves You Stay Vicious Teenage Rebellion The Backseat The Diamond Street Church Choir I hate Stray Paper even more now because if they had just not written that song we wouldn't have to have this matchup.
It's one of the Handwritten songs I return to the most, and that's not to put down any other songs on that album, I just love that song.
Stay Lucky Stay Vicious Sweet Morphine The Backseat (this is a criminal matchup) The Diamond Street Church Choir (wouldn’t be mad if this one makes it all the way)
Stay Lucky Stray Paper (don't understand the overwhelming hatred for this song) Sweet Morphine The Backseat The Diamond Church Street Choir
Stay Lucky Stray Paper Sweet Morphine The Backseat The Navesink Banks I imagine this will be my most "against the grain" match-up. I don't think any of these are particularly close either.
