I don't fully understand how this works overall - but Mae. Great Expectations is an absolute masterpiece of a song, and it's definitely one of their best songs ever, but I think Mae might be their best song.
Alright folks, the votes have stopped coming in and the final count is Great Expectations (15) Mae (9) Old White Lincoln (4) This means that Great Expectations is going to the CHAMPIONSHIP!!!! Personally I was stumping for "Mae" to be the under-dog winner in this round but GE is a classic song.
Okay we're now in PHASE 2 of the Semi-Finals. The matches in this round will be: Blue Jeans & White T-Shirts vs. Even Cowgirls Get the Blues The Backseat vs. We're Getting A Divorce, You Keep the Diner The winners of these matches will face off in Phase 3. GO!
I believe that makes it Blue Jeans & White T Shirts - 9 Even Cowgirls Get The Blues - 1 The Backseat - 10 We're Getting A Divorce - 0
Blue Jeans & Backseat very happy that, with the exception of a few, IMO the bands truly greatest songs have made it through. Backseat, Blue Jeans, Expectations are all soundly in my top 10, maybe all in my top 5.
Blue Jeans (11) vs. Cowgirls (2) Backseat (13) vs. Diner (0). Poor Diner hahaha might have to call this one early
Don't really enjoy these matchups. I'll abstain this round since it doesn't really change the landscape. I don't love the Backseat the way most Gaslight fans do and I don't think any of the songs on Sink or Senor are among their best (not saying I don't like them because I really do). I'll pick it up again in the next group.
