So. Central Rain, Losing My Religion, and Try Not to Breathe in my case.

Stip and Chud have very evenly matched teams, I think. The only thing I can think to do is an album by album comparison, and see which team has the most "wins" by album.

I haven't even thought about the second match-up yet.

It seems that people have either voted for me and phil or you and chud, but there's no obvious (to me anyway) feel to any of the teams to create that pattern.

I like to rank the songs and add them up, but I may do your way as well because I've got nothing else to do until I leave work.

I put each set into a playlist. Then I see which one sounds better while...

-Driving
-Running
-Being "intimate"
-Showering
-Watching that gif of Emma Watson dancing
-Going to sleep
-Fixing my hair

It's like a best of seven series.

Only if that particular portion of the match goes into "overtime."

To be honest, I really like your list, but spite swayed me the other way.

Just to clarify, I needed something to break the tie between your lists, because I had it dead even.
