The Orb - Little Fluffy Clouds < Squeeze - Up the Junction
Picking the Costello impression over the sparse nostalgia of clouds.

Bob Dylan - Mississippi < The Cranberries - Zombie
Considered not voting for Zombie since I think it's not overlooked at all, but its against a Dylan song so I think it's fine this round.

Eels - Novocaine for the Soul < Nick Cave - Red Right Hand
Eels have an edge to them but Cave has the entire blade.

Bronski Beat - Smalltown Boy > Estelle ft. Kanye West - American Boy
Battle of the boys! Voting for the song that doesn't make me think about Fortnite.

Lil Green - Why Don't You Do Right > Fred Astaire - Puttin' on the Ritz
I like both but only one is in pop culture (although maybe more for the Taco cover), so voting for the other.

Straitjacket Fits - Down in Splendour > Sufjan Stevens - For the Widows in Paradise, For the Fatherless in Ypsilanti
Ah shit it's up against Sufjan, well we've had a good run.

Manic Street Preachers - The Everlasting < Lou Reed - Sad Song
These are both fine but not exactly the pinnacle of either's discography

Violent Femmes - Kiss Off < Lush - Etheriel
I mean Etheriel is a little on-the-nose as a name but it does succeed at being that.
