The first time I ever saw qotsa live was the day Josh fired Mark. He said something like "if you see a bum in the gutter on your way home tonight it might be Mark Lanegan" and then sang Song for the Dead.

I was obviously super bummed. I never got to see Mark perform with qotsa.

Voted Chemistry but I don't mind who wins. Both are top 5 and there's very little separating them for me.

It's refreshing to see just how out of step you are with the rest of the Queens fandom, tragabigzanda. :lol:

Great final of great songs. Both go ridiculously hard.

I went with Song for the Dead, they closed with it when I saw them and it was amazing.

Finalist #1 - Song For The Dead

Had a Round 1 BYE then beat Walkin' On The Sidewalks, If Only, God Is In The Radio, You Can't Quit Me Baby and Go With The Flow.

By my reckoning based on comments through this tourney, all Top 20 songs.

Finalist #2 - Better Living Through Chemistry

On the way to the final, Chemistry beat Goin' Out West, The Sky Is Fallin', Regular John, Long Slow Goodbye, I Think I Lost My Headache and In The Fade.

Probably 3-4 Top 20 tracks in there but still big hitters.
