On my list it could have easily changed places with any song above it. They are technically one of the soundest bands around right now. I was a bit 50/50 on Sound & Color earlier this year, but it's leapfrogged into my Top 5 of the year lately. It's come on really strong for me. I don't like listening to it a lot/often, but when I listen to it I marvel and how well put together it all is. But it isn't catchy and it isn't pop, it is a very acquired taste, but done incredibly well.

Certainly an underwhelming performance on my part. Good enough I guess though. Just wish I had a little more momentum.
Also, damn that cover of Vincent is FANTASTIC!. I've been kicking myself for the past few days for not knowing Joanna Wang before now. Her style couldn't possibly be any more up my alley.

That was incredible, though her cover of "Rain Drops Keep falling on My Head" is pretty damned rough.

But to be fair that song isn't really high on my list to begin with.

But to be fair that song isn't really high on my list to begin with. The one version of it I like is Elvis Costello and Burt Bacharach, so my standards are REALLY f***ing high for that song.

Man Alabama shakes only got 30? Doesn't get more unique of a femal choice imo Admittedly, I have no room to talk because I didn't turn my rankings in on time, but that stuns me too. Don't Wanna Fight is my song of the year; almost certainly would've been at the top of my list. You guys had over a week to judge. What happened?

You guys had over a week to judge. What happened? A bunch of things, partly just flat-out forgetting, some of it due to Joaquin doing a number on my wifi for a while, and just enough of it some mental shit I'd rather not bore you with the details of. It was a rough week, is what I'm getting at. Doesn't excuse my failure to do my damn job, but there you go.

I know you're talking about the hurricane but in my head I imagined that as Joaquin Phoenix coming in your house and smashing up your modem

Song sent. If this is the last song for me, I think it's a good one to go out on.
Got two really good competitors to face off against here, so we shall see.
Is this a double elimination or a single elimination round?

Is this a double elimination or a single elimination round? A while ago Cage said this: "Originally there was supposed to be a three way sing off, but seeing as the next round is going through we'll just go through as is." I'm assuming that means a single-elimination to lead to the final four, but I'm more than likely wrong.

Glad and honored to make the finale but sad to see Townes Van Zandt do so poorly,Nothin is by the favorite of my tracks I entered this season. I feel lucky to have avoided any sing offs ever cause most of the songs I was thinking for it ended up being my worst performing ones.

AFN: Judge ShredDemented fw91 pegasuswarrior@irontyger These are the songs for the final singoff. Best of luck to all contestants, and may the best person make it to the finals. First song to two votes wins. All four judges (Peg, AFN, Demented, and myself) must send in a verdict to me. The Feelies - Moscow Nights Vs. Gin Blossoms - Allison Road Vs. Patti Labelle - If Only You Knew

If judge Rad was on this season my vote would not even be close with those 3 songs(Won't mention which for now).
Either way Good luck to all 3 of you . It's been a helluva run from everyone who got this far.

Just to get some buzz going around here, I don't know what I'm doing this round. Just an impossible task of ranking this round. I went nuts earlier in the game for one of our rounds. There was some top notch difficulty going on here too. That's part of it when 5 players are choosing 39 songs a piece and all of them already established as freaking amazing players. I guess just ignore me when the rankings finally get posted because I had no idea how to split hairs on some of them. Not one single bum song in the lot. And not that there usually is, but you folks just take the cake. Stellar jobs. I feel like I was all over the place with my rankings, so I don't care to speak up and claim the "bum judge" out of the group for this round. Not saying I didn't try, but tonight, I went back through those rankings I sent in, and it's just so iffy and so tight with some of these picks. And that's something that could be said on ranking #5 all the way to #16 or 17. Just really was a hard job this time around. So I've screwed over one or two of you, but didn't mean to. 1. Bela Bartok - Cantata Profana 2. The Seekers - Georgy Girl 3. Peter, Paul, and Mary - If I Had a Hammer 4. The Go! Team - Huddle Formation 5. Joan Jett - Crimson and Clover 6. Roseanne Cash - Tennessee Flat Top Box 7. Cowboy Junkies - The Post 8. Outkast -- SpottieOttieDopaliscious 9. The Twilight Singers - Hyperballad 10. Alabama Shakes - Don't Wanna Fight 11. Manda and the Marbles - Hey 12. Melody's Echo Chamber - I Follow You 13. t.a.t.u. - 30 Minutes 14. Townes Van Zandt - Nothin 15. Tanya Tucker - Delta Dawn 16. Neko Case - Furnace Room Lullaby 17. Joanna Wang - Vincent 18. Sister Rosetta Tharpe - Ain't No Grave Hold My Body Down 19. Miles Davis - Ah Leu Cha 20. Boyz II Men - End of the Road

Well I don't know if Yaya'll be here to read this, but what a f***ing game he played. To make it to the final five in your very first season, while outlasting luminaries like Knailsic, Demented, and suave, is an extremely strong showing. He may have fallen short of the finale, but he should walk out of here with his head held high.
