Lots of gaps closing here!!!

 

I wonder how many of you are mixing up the reds haha

 

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.

 

Man, I'm bummed "Old Haunts" is going to be out. Love that song so much.

 

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.

 

Guys, I'm going to be really mad at all of you if "Orphans" loses. Come on.

 

Orphans is a top American Slang song.

 

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)

 

my heart

 

Stay Lucky
Stay Vicious
Sweet Morphine
The '59 Sound (You've gotta be fucking kidding me with this matchup)
The Diamond Street Church Choir

 

Stay Lucky
Stay Vicious
Teenage Rebellion
The Backseat
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.

 

I forgot how much I like "Teenage Rebellion."

 

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.

 

It sounds like a Horrible Crowes song, in the best way.

 

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.
