Flying Lotus and Wilco continue to have two of the most interesting songs in the tournament. Not looking good for Chairlift, a shame since they've been a great find for me.

Walk in the Park vs. Solitude is Bliss

Celestica vs. Do the Astral Plane

I hate voting against Celestica, which has been a nice discovery for me this year even before this tournament, but Do the Astral Plane is one of the best songs of the decade, and still sounds 9 years later like it's from the future.

Home vs. Bang Bang Bang

Luz de piedra de luna vs. Post-Breakup Sex

I didn't get around to listening to this bunch of songs in round 1 - Luz de piedra is such a jam!!

Will Do vs. Amanaemonesia
Sophia vs. Art of Almost

Sophia and Amanaemonesia were probably my two favorite discoveries from the first round, so pleased to get to listen to both again in this round. Both went against long-time favorites, but Art of Almost is too strong for me to give Sophia the win.

Make My vs. The Dream

Undun is being criminally ignored in EOD lists so far. It's absolutely one of the best hip-hop releases of the decade.

13. Beach House - Walk in the Park v. 8. Tame Impala - Solitude Is Bliss
6. Crystal Castles - Celestica v. 3. Flying Lotus -, Do the Astral Plane
12. LCD Soundsystem - Home v. 9. Mark Ronson and the Business Intl feat. Q-Tip & MNDR - Bang Bang Bang
5. Laura Marling - Sophia v. 2. Wilco - Art of Almost As a fan of Marling and largely not one of Wilco's, this was hard to accept but Art of Almost still had the capacity to catch me out on second listen. It pains me that I'll be voting for Master Hunter and not the superior Sophia; this is a gem-studded week though!
1. Javiera Mena - Luz de piedra de luna v. 15. The Vaccines - Post-Breakup Sex
14. TV on the Radio - Will Do v. 7. Chairlift - Amanaemonesia I'm unsettled by how much the Chairlift song is growing on me, like a fungus. It'll be my #1 song next round at this rate! (That's if it makes it that far)
10. The Roots - Make My v. 16. Thee Oh Sees - The Dream
4. The Black Keys - Gold on the Ceiling v. 11. Chvrches - Lies Gold's still strong but has been overtaken in value this week
All I got inside is vacancy!

I usually don't like scores because scores can change, but I thought it would be fun to do it this time.

Beach House - Walk in the Park (decent 8) vs. Tame Impala - Solitude is Bliss (decent 5)

Crystal Castles - Celestica (strong 6 / light 7) vs. Flying Lotus - Do the Astral Plane (strong 7)

LCD Soundsystem - Home (light 7) vs. Mark Ronson & The Business Intl. - Bang Bang Bang (decent 7)

Javiera Mena - Luz de piedra de luna (decent 8) vs. The Vaccines - Post-Breakup Sex (strong 6 / light 7)

TV on the Radio - Will Do (strong 7 / light 8) vs. Chairlift - Amanaemonesia (decent / strong 7)

Laura Marling - Sophia (decent 8) vs. Wilco - Art of Almost (strong 6 / light 7)

The Roots - Make My (strong 6 / light 7) vs. Thee Oh Sees - The Dream (strong 6)

The Black Keys - Gold on the Ceiling (strong 7 / light 8) vs. Chvrches - Lies (light / decent 6)

Well, second round and Moderately Acclaimed 10 had finished. Maybe it's time for me to join. I admit I haven't read the votings and comments on the first round. Since I'm aware I missed some brilliant comments (surely Rob's but probably many others too) I'm going to read them now. But only after having posted my votes, I don't want to know beforehand who nominated the songs and the reaction of the forum on the previous round. I want to vote only based on the feelings the songs produce on me without any bias.

Tame Impala - Solitude is Bliss but the another one was excellent too.
Flying Lotus - Do the Astral Plane
Mark Ronson & The Business Intl. - Bang Bang Bang this complete unknown song steal growing on me.
The Vaccines - Post-Breakup Sex
TV on the Radio - Will Do
Laura Marling - Sophia
The Roots - Make My
The Black Keys - Gold on the Ceiling

Can I say that I find more good songs here (even in the ones I "eliminated"), in this first part of the Overlooked songs, than in most of the end-of-decade lists.
