I had a big thing typed up here but you know what? I'm changing my rationale, and my vote. I was going to award my vote to DV for having two of my top 10 Bruce tunes (DITD and RTB), but then I asked myself: If I were going for a drive or a run, which of these playlists would I want to take with me? Despite the highs not being as high as his opponent's, for having the more consistently enjoyable team from top to bottom I give my vote to Evenslow.

this guy gets it!

ya know it's not too late to change your username to "kittys_back" and then your avatar could be a pic of ed looking like a cat.

I gotta go with Evenslow and LV.

Kitty's Back out of the gate was unexpected, but I get the nervousness of the all-mighty overall first selection (My pick of SRV with No. 1 in the "Fantasy Groups" tourney was widely derided. Long live Aroma of Man! But I digress...). Dancing in the Dark is a great pick and Reason to Believe was on my big board as well. Darth's overall PSS™ is 9.5.

Evenslow's team is all good, but nothing stands out and screams at me. But what would I know, I picked Wrecking Ball! Empty Sky is my favourite here. PSS™ of 9.0.

Vote to Darth.

I know I'm in the minority on this, but I'm really not a big fan of Jungleland, but its more than made up for with the epic Born in the USA. Streets of Fire was also a great pick. PSS™ of 8.5 for Team Bada.

LV has one of the best 1-2 combos of this thing, and Something in the Night is no slouch either. Highway Patrolman was my Nebraska pick, until I made the conscious decision to go Nebraska-less. I agree that the lyrics in both that and Hungry Heart in particular are just stellar. Solid team here with a PSS™ of 11.

Vote to LV.

If he thinks yours is actually better, what's the big deal?

That is some serious fucking integrity

Oh god. Please don't say that. Jorge does it almost every tournament and acts like he deserves a fucking medal every time.

calm down joey

The only person who makes a big deal about me voting against myself is Joey

I think it's great that you do that, Jorge. I'm done it myself a time or two. Are you sure you aren't thinking of someone else?

Remember: I have perfect RM recall

Apparently not.

Darth starts off well with 4 decent tracks, all 4-5 stars. Then there's 2 of my least favourite tracks in his catalogue, not just The River. Coming Down is bottom of the magic pile for me too. Evenslow has a really good consistent team. Girls is beautiful as is Rosie. Out On The street and Bobby Jean were both on my list too. Disguise is the best of that period.

Slow win.

I think Bada may have my favourite team even though I'm not a huge fan of Jungleland. I always sigh when it starts but I do get wrapped up in it. BitUSA is similar. Your 2 big hitters are my least favs on the team. The other six tracks are all knockouts. Two Hearts, Roulette, Restless Nights are all very very good while Ain't Good Enough is edging towards my top Bruce track. I could listen to it ten times a day.

LV has some ups and downs. I'm On Fire is five stars and HP and Further are both really strong. Lift Me Up isn't my cup of tea. I'm tired of HHeart though it is a bloody good song. Radio Nowhere and Point Blank are decent enough tracks too. Good stuff just not hitting me like some of badas.
