Top 200 Songs of the Decade Tournament: Round 2, Part 1
Top 200 Songs of the Decade Tournament: Round 2, Part 1
We have successfully cut our list down to 100 songs from the 200. For each round of the tournament, I am going to implement a different style. Now, we are going to be getting this list of 100 down to 32. We will be doing this using lists of five songs, which must be ranked, and the highest average positions will move on. Here are this weeks two sets of songs to be ranked.
First, though, here is a full list of Round 2 Qualifiers:

Re: Top 200 Songs of the Decade Tournament: Round 2, Part 1
How one person after another can put ”Pumped Up Kicks” above ”Real Death” is beyond me.
Everyone you meet fights a battle you know nothing about. Be kind. Always.
Re: Top 200 Songs of the Decade Tournament: Round 2, Part 1
Real Death has the most powerful lyrics of the ten songs. But its music does not bring out the power of those lyrics for me. It's very sparse, which can work for me in a song with a similarly somber tone like Cellophane, but that song has incredible singing and some interesting instrumental motifs to back it up. In this case, there is no musical for motif for me to latch onto, and I'm not a huge fan of his voice. When I read it like a poem, it evoked more than when I listened to it.
Pumped Up Kicks has one of the definitive basslines of the decade and a very catchy chorus.

Re: Top 200 Songs of the Decade Tournament: Round 2, Part 1
Question for those who rated Yonkers high, why do you like it so much? It's one of the songs on this list that I just don't get the appeal for. It's alright, the lyrics are kind of funny and enjoyable, but best of the decade material I don't see it to be, personally. So what appeals to those of you who really enjoy it?
