AM World Cup: Pool Round Week 3

Post by Listyguy »

Here we are, the final week of the pool round. This is the week that will send teams into the knockout round, but also send home many in defeat. Vote for the song you like more, not the artist. Also remember that this will only be open for 6 days, not 7, to allow for one day of changing lists for next week. Also you don't have to be in charge of a team to vote, anyone can!

The Beatles (Tomorrow Never Knows) vs. Stevie Wonder (Superstition)
Pink Floyd (Astronomy Domine) vs. Townes Van Zandt (Waiting Around to Die)
Bob Dylan (Hurricane) vs. Talking Heads (Take Me to the River)
Madonna (Vogue) vs. Nina Simone (Love Me or Leave Me)
The Rolling Stones (Angie) vs. Arcade Fire (Afterlife)
Elvis Costello (I Want You) vs. Nick Drake (River Man)
David Bowie (Changes) vs. Nick Cave (Red Right Hand)
Kanye West (Black Skinhead) vs. The National (Afraid of Everyone)
Bruce Springsteen (The River) vs. Tom Waits (Tango Till They're Sore)
The Clash (Spanish Bombs) vs. Kate Bush (The Big Sky)
Radiohead (Creep) vs. LCD Soundsystem (I Can Change)
Jimi Hendrix (Are You Experienced?) vs. Wilco (Impossible Germany)
Neil Young (Hey Hey My My (Into the Black)) vs. Daft Punk (Da Funk)
Marvin Gaye (Trouble Man) vs. Leonard Cohen (Closing Time)
Prince (Raspberry Beret) vs. Otis Redding (These Arms of Mine)
R.E.M. (Everybody Hurts) vs. Bjork (Joga)

I suppose Prince's "Raspberry Beret" is somewhere out there.
I just wanted to be one of those ghosts
You thought that you could forget
And then I haunt you via the rear view mirror
On a long drive from the back seat...

I must say that I love the format of this game. My first reaction after seeing the week’s matchups was appreciation that “Afraid of Everyone,” one of my personal favorites, was selected by the team owner of The National. I was then thrilled when all the early votes started rolling in for “AOE,” before it eventually hit me—I far prefer Kanye West as an artist to The National, so what exactly am I cheering for? (Not to mention, I think I’ve voted against Pink Floyd all three weeks, and they’re one of my ten favorite artists of all time.) It feels like whenever we have an artist game in any format, The Beatles inevitably come out on top. Under the rules of this game, that’s far from guaranteed (and, as much as I love the Fab Four, that’s a good thing)!
