Basically, Stip hates you more than Harry Lime hates women.

I Got Bugs - love Terry Reid, and Moonlight Mile is one of the best of any decade
Durdencommatyler - Life on Mars wins it
Stip - there's a fine line, and this team is just on the good side of that I think.
DeLima - this might be my favourite team

Varis

DCT

Stip (Very close. Both teams have many songs that I adore and each has one song that I absolutely despise)

DeLima (lots of big artists but almost none of their most obvious hits)

This is true. Varis has more songs that I love, but I might love "Moonlight Mile" more than anything in his team. Still, it's a stronger group of songs and so my vote goes to Varis.

Me numbers stip delima

varis - one of the best teams in the tournament
joey - i can't vote for a team with witchy woman
abstain - i can't vote for a team with the theme from shaft, and i can't vote for a team that went with the eagles
delima - i don't feel strongly about either team in this one

Leaving voting open until noon Monday

I once got into an argument with someone over at The Pit about whether or not Bart & Lisa were singing the Theme from Shaft or Dirty Frank in the episode of the Simpsons where they're singing karaoke.

Not surprisingly, those who chimed in were split pretty 50/50 over which one of us was right.

The real question is why the hell Stip didn't go with Sammy's version. Soooo much better! Can you dig it???

Pearl Jam fans are the worst.

bugs - Varis, I think you're a wonderful man, but I really hate that Supertramp song.
Joey - There's no gigantic clunkers in numbers' team but Joey's is stronger top-to-bottom.
Kaius - I'm not terribly fond of either of these teams but at least Kaius had the good sense to pick Cortez the Killer (and not be stip.)
DeLima - I'd be quite pleased if I never heard almost all of the songs in Rangi's team ever again. I can hardly believe I'm voting for a team that includes a Bruce Springsteen song but there you have it.

Bugs
Numbers
Stip
Delima

Bugs - This one is a number to number tie. But again, Us and Them takes it.
Given the details of the 70s tourney, I'm abstaining from voting in Numbers v d,t
Stip - This is another number to number tie. But Stip has Tangled Up in Blue and Martha.
DeLima - When in doubt, vote Stevie Wonder. Also, Working Class Hero is pretty great. Those two won this match.

You're admittedly a handsome man, Rangi, but I'm afraid that offer isn't enough to sway my vote.

Oh come on......you know you want to!

You're wrong. One of these nights is a damn good tune.

But... "When in doubt, vote Stevie Wonder"

?!?

Varis
Numbers (while Joey has my favorite song on either team I like numbers overall a bit more)
Stip (Kaius starts strong but for the most part I don't really like the back half of his team. That jimmy buffet so g might be my favorite moment
Rangi guy (maybe my second favorite team left, though delima has some respectable songs

"Unless the opponent has both Tangled Up In Blue AND a Tom Waits song."

Sorry Kaius. But I don't make the rules.
