Stevie Wonder - Visions
vs.
Radiohead - Climbing Up the Walls

Talking Heads - The Great Curve
vs.
Portishead - Mysterons

Discussion Time!
Which eligible song do you most wish was in this tournament?

Climbing Up the Walls
The Great Curve


I'll be surprised if anything but The Great Curve takes this.

I mentioned this before, but there are two songs from Illinois that I would take over pretty much every song featured in this tournament; The Predatory Wasp of the Palisades and They Are Night Zombies. The Predatory Wasp especially; I consider it a centerpiece of the album.

Stevie Wonder - Visions
Portishead - Mysterons

I really wish I had been quicker with my nom so I could have gotten Song for the Asking from Bridge Over Troubled Water in.

3 of my 4 favorites from this game are still alive, what an unusual twist.

Visions
The Great Curve

Stevie Wonder - Visions
Portishead - Mysterons

I think "Crown of Love" or "In the Backseat" would have done well, but I thought all of the choices were good.

I choose Radiohead and Talking Heads.

Discussion: I'm a noob, I don't really know B-Sides.

I'll join you BP, The Predatory Wasp is one of my favorite songs of all time, and They Are Night Zombies is in my top 500.
And I'll also join DaveC for In The Backseat, on my top 100 of all time.

I confess I'm not a particularly huge fan of any of the remaining songs. Of the songs I voted for in the quarters, only Radiohead survived (really, really hoped Jeff Buckley would make it), and "CUtW" is far from my favorite track on OKC.

Four good songs. A pleasure to choose between these four songs.

From the top of my head it would have been "Exit Music (For a Film)" but I can't complain, "Climbing Up the Walls" may even win the whole game.

Love the four remaining song but anyway the decisions are easy, I got clear favourites:

1. Stevie Wonder - Visions
vs.
3. Radiohead - Climbing Up the Walls

2. Talking Heads - The Great Curve
vs.
4. Portishead - Mysterons

Two-header beast beat the talking ones.

Four great songs though.

The Great Curve (this one was super close)

The second matchup was very close. "Mysterons" made me revisit a great album I hadn't thought much of the first time around.

Remember that this is the last day to vote. Only 8 and a half hours remain.

We very well could have a repeat of a match that took place in the first round, just like the most recent unacclaimed.

Easy vote on the first match, but anyone could win on the second:

Climbing Up the Walls
Mysterons

Stevie Wonder - Visions: 12
Radiohead - Climbing Up the Walls: 16

Talking Heads - The Great Curve: 17
Portishead - Mysterons: 11
