TMT20 ROUND 2 - GROUPS 7 AND 8

Round 2 consists of ten groups of ten songs each. The top five songs in each group advance to Round 3.

Groups are drawn randomly in such a way that each group contains one 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th place song from Round 1, 2-3 songs eliminated in Round 3 last year, 0-1 songs eliminated in Round 4 last year, 1 song ranked between 11-20 last year, and 1 song ranked between 1-10 last year.

We will vote on groups two at a time (although you can vote on only one of the groups if you want). Each voting period will last three days (72 hours). Votes cast after that will not be accepted, with the exception that we will always keep going until we have at least three votes per group.

Give your top four songs 4, 3, 2, and 1 points, respectively. You must give points to exactly three or four songs (awarding the 1-point vote is optional).

GROUP 7
Aerosmith - Same old Song and Dance
B-52's - Roam
Charlie Daniels Band - The Devil Went Down to Georgia
Earth, Wind and Fire - Boogie Wonderland
Falco - Der Kommissar
Frank Sinatra - Blue Moon
Led Zeppelin - Kashmir
Mighty Mighty Bosstones - The Impression That I Get
Muse - Uprising
Spinners - Rubberband Man

GROUP 8
Ceann - Old Dun Cow
Eagles - Midnight Flyer
Johnny Cash - Ring of Fire
Kenny Rogers - The Gambler
Portugal. The Man - Live in the Moment
Radiohead - Paranoid Android
Rush - Marathon
Rush - Subdivisions
Talking Heads - Once in a Lifetime
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart - Requiem Mass in D minor

Tiebreakers:
- Number of voters giving 4 points
- Number of voters giving 3 points
- Number of voters giving 2 points
- Last year's result (1 > 2 > ... > 20 > Round 4 > Round 3 > Round 2 > other)
- PPV in Round 1 (if applicable)
- Random chance

Tactical voting refers to either giving more points than you normally would to a song because it would make the difference between it going through or getting eliminated, or giving fewer points than you normally would to a song because it might kick a song you like even more out of the competition. This is hard to prevent, but my very strong request would be to not do it. Give points to the songs you believe deserve to go through, regardless of how others are voting. Doing otherwise reduces the value of votes that came before you, which is unfair to them. Remember that it's not a competition between voters, but a collective effort to make a nice list of songs we like. Thanks.

I did my best with all the links but there is always a chance some are broken or have a wrong version or bad audio quality. If a link is broken or you have a suggestion for a better link, please contact me or post the link in the thread. Officially, we are not voting on the YouTube link, but on the listed Artist + Title.

COMMENTARY ON THE PROGRESS OF THE GAME, THE RULES, WHAT SONGS YOU LIKE, ETC., IS VERY WELCOME.

Advance warning that I will be traveling from Wednesday through Monday without my laptop. I will still be around (via my phone) to close the voting Wednesday night (and do other Witt things), but the results and next group will be delayed until I get back.

The first four in group 8 are even stronger than the first four in group 5. Only one point for Marathon is ridiculous. In the end Subdivisions barely wins out, partly because of the on-point lyrics, partly because of the drumming. Marathon still would have scored 4 points in group 7 though. Uprising is very nice, but not quite as exciting as Knights of Cydonia.

7:
Uprising - 4
The Impression That I Get - 3
Der Kommissar - 2
Kashmir - 1

8:
Paranoid Android - 4
Once in a Lifetime - 3
Subdivisions - 2
Marathon - 1
