A bit heavy on the early period, but still a very solid list. Glad it’s still double songs throughout their fantastic middle period.

I don't remember RM being this ridiculous. This round could turn out to be a weekend-ruiner for me tonight at 8 pm. I'm already mildly pissed that Porch and DtE are going to lose, but if SoH and Animal lose, fuck it.

Weekend ruiner. Damn.

To better accommodate my weekend schedule and Ruddo's Friday night I am extending this round until 8AM and shifting to AM round turnovers.

Although right now all the close matches are breaking the way I want, so this is a risk

So, pound for pound, Merkinball is the greatest thing they've ever done.

pound for pound? 100%. they wrote and recorded two of their best songs with neil young.

Batting 1.000 when it comes to 5 star songs on that EP so yeah, pound for pound the best thing they've ever done.

Anyone else noticed that Stip is an hour late?

Yes but in this particular case the competing song is crap

I haven’t voted in every match-up, I’m sure I’m not the only one.

I think maybe the real problem here is:

Why don’t we just retire songs that have one in previous years? Stick em in the RM HOF? Has this ever been discussed?

It wouldn't really solve this problem though as IMT hasn't actually won before.

Right, but Animal would be out of the equation, and it’d potentially be easier for me to get on board with its strengths rather than focus on its weaknesses

Did Animal win before? I don't remember.

Trag wrong. But Animal

Oh man I just assumed it had, but I honestly don’t know. You guys have been doing this way longer than I have.
