A lot of heavy vs. lighter matchups this round, it should be interesting to see how they turn out. Metric - The Shade (MikeTheMoose, #3) vs. Alabama Shakes - Don’t Wanna Fight (dm2081, #6) (if Metric had been matched up against most other songs in this round, it probably would have won. Don't Wanna Fight is just too catchy)alt-J - Hunger of the Pine (H., #3) vs. Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness - Cecilia and the Satellite (Extra 1, #6) (one of these songs was overplayed, the other I wish I had heard on the radio)Mumford & Sons - Believe (Devin, #3) vs. Chris Cornell - Nearly Forgot My Broken Heart (Extra 5, #6) (incredibly easy pick, though I lost about an hour from my impromptu nap after listening to Believe)MS MR - Criminals (Pipa, #3) vs. Duran Duran featuring Janelle Monáe & Nile Rodgers - Pressure Off (Bangwave, #6) (MS MR are very hit or miss for me, but Criminals is good. Duran Duran's vocals have never clicked with me, but the instrumental is pretty good)Have Mercy - Two Years (wheatsquares33, #3) vs. Nickelback - Get 'Em Up (cm7com, #6) (Nickelback's lyrics always kill their songs prematurely)Imagine Dragons - Shots (Lordeftones, #3) vs. Of Monsters and Men - Empire (Red, #6) (if only Shots was the lead single, maybe ID would have a much stronger era)Halestorm - Apocalyptic (dgarcia3377, #3) vs. Unknown Mortal Orchestra - Can't Keep Checking My Phone (shakermaker, #6) (neither song thrilled me, but Apocalyptic is too dramatic at times and thus loses)Chet Faker featuring Banks - 1998 (Juan Carlos, #3) vs. Bullet for My Valentine - You Want a Battle? (Here's a War) (shadowscorp, #6) (never gotten into anything from Bullet for My Valentine, even big hits like Your Betrayal)We Are Harlot - Someday (Dr. Indie, #3) vs. Red Sun Rising - The Otherside (Daryl, #6) (Someday is better than Dancing On Nails, but I'm a big Offspring fan so they get the win in this match)FFS - Call Girl (Extra 2, #3) vs. Starset - Halo (thewebinator, #6) (I like other songs on the FFS project more than Call Girl, and Starset is fantastic so this was pretty easy)twenty one pilots - Fairly Local (Extra 4, #3) vs. Mew - Witness (Green Baron, #6) (not a huge fan of the Mew track)Of Mice & Men - Never Giving Up (Extra 6, #3) vs. U2 - Song for Someone (Extra 3, #6) (the match I was most indifferent about this round)but just because one person doesn't mean you can.... Fair enough. Besides, his reasoning wasn't very good as you would need just one or one and a half hours at most to listen to the songs. New round will be up at 10.30PM ET also, not to nitpick as I don't care either way, but you did kind of just switch it back to the one day time frame after only one person complained about it; I didn't see anyone else adverse to the two day round limit.

I like a one day limit more than the two days, but I get it if not everyone is able to vote within that amount of time. Maybe meet somewhere in the middle.

I don't care at all either way, I just thought it was funny that one person's post made you switch the time, but when only one other person complained about how you switched it because of one person's opinion, you switched it back. Feel free to ignore me, I haven't slept in like 30 hours.

Dear Rouge - Black To Gold (Pipa, #4) vs. Mumford & Sons - The Wolf (thewebinator, #5) (Never heard of Dear Rouge before, but that song is really good on first listen. Hard to beat The Wolf, though. As unimpressed as I was with Believe, The Wolf has grown to be my favorite song by M&S. Also, when I tried to do a personal chart for a couple of weeks in July, this was my only #1. Hard to beat that.)
Muse - Reapers (wheatsquares33, #4) vs. Meg Myers - Sorry (Dr. Indie, #5) (I like both a lot, but I'm going Reapers. It's a ton of fun to play on guitar.)
Motionless In White - Unstoppable (Extra 6, #4) vs. Gates - Low (Green Baron, #5) (I'm not familiar with Gates, but this song is great. Kind of sounds like a more indie-influenced Fightstar. I'll have to check out more by this group.)
Muse - Dead Inside (Daryl, #4) vs. Five Finger Death Punch - Jekyll and Hyde (dm2081, #5) (Anything's better than Jekyll and Hyde. I know I said that about Apocalyptic last time, but I really mean it this time.)
The Black Keys - Weight of Love (Extra 1, #4) vs. Vance Joy - Fire and the Flood (Juan Carlos, #5)
Saint Asonia - Better Place (shadowscorp, #4) vs. The Arcs - Outta My Mind (MikeTheMoose, #5) (I found both of these extremely boring and never liked either one. Lesser of two evils on this one.)
PHASES - I'm In Love With My Life (Bangwave, #4) vs. Three Days Grace - Human Race (Extra 3, #5) (Again, not a huge fan of either one, but I do like the outro guitar solo on Human Race.)
EODM (Eagles of Death Metal) - Complexity (Extra 2, #4) vs. The Wonder Years - Cardinals (Red, #5) (TWY's new album is awesome. One of my favorite releases of the year.)
Foo Fighters - Outside (Lordeftones, #4) vs. Ex Cops - Black Soap (shakermaker, #5) (I love love love Black Soap.)
Breaking Benjamin - Failure (Devin, #4) vs. Bryan Adams - You Belong to Me (Extra 4, #5)
K. Flay - Can't Sleep (Extra 5, #4) vs. The Dear Hunter - A Night on the Town (wheatsquares33, #5)

I would say that I'm upset that I missed out on the previous round, but other than "Empire" losing on a tiebreaker, I'm not really THAT bothered.
Dear Rouge - Black To Gold (Pipa, #4) vs. Mumford & Sons - The Wolf (thewebinator, #5) (just not a big fan of M&S this era)
Muse - Reapers (wheatsquares33, #4) vs. Meg Myers - Sorry (Dr. Indie, #5) ("Sorry" isn't bad, but any song battling "Reapers" is facing an uphill battle pretty much immediately)
Motionless In White - Unstoppable (Extra 6, #4) vs. Gates - Low (Green Baron, #5) (Gates are going far in this comp...just a hunch)
Muse - Dead Inside (Daryl, #4) vs. Five Finger Death Punch - Jekyll and Hyde (dm2081, #5) (yeah, FFDP has no chance here)
The Black Keys - Weight of Love (Extra 1, #4) vs. Vance Joy - Fire and the Flood (Juan Carlos, #5) (eh)
Saint Asonia - Better Place (shadowscorp, #4) vs. The Arcs - Outta My Mind (MikeTheMoose, #5) (the heart wants what it wants, and in this case, it's pure rock and roll)
PHASES - I'm In Love With My Life (Bangwave, #4) vs. Three Days Grace - Human Race (Extra 3, #5) (the PHASES song was just...yikes)
EODM (Eagles of Death Metal) - Complexity (Extra 2, #4) vs. The Wonder Years - Cardinals (Red, #5) (it pains me way too much to vote against any Josh Homme project, but "Cardinals" is one of my favorite songs of the year)
Foo Fighters - Outside (Lordeftones, #4) vs. Ex Cops - Black Soap (shakermaker, #5) ("Black Soap" is still amazing after about a year, and "Outside" isn't really my favorite Foos song)
Breaking Benjamin - Failure (Devin, #4) vs. Bryan Adams - You Belong to Me (Extra 4, #5) (Breaking Benjamin wins by default)
K. Flay - Can't Sleep (Extra 5, #4) vs. The Dear Hunter - A Night on the Town (wheatsquares33, #5) (well, this was one hell of a discovery...how did I not know of these guys? I am slipping, I swear)
Slash featuring Myles Kennedy & The Conspirators - Bent to Fly (dgarcia3377, #4) vs. Death Cab for Cutie - The Ghosts of Beverly Drive (H., #5) (not the hardest choice)

Dear Rouge - Black To Gold (Pipa, #4) vs. Mumford & Sons - The Wolf (thewebinator, #5) "Best Look Lately" was more my style, but I could easily grow into "Black To Gold". The thing about Mumford and Sons is that I just don't like his vocals. Great guitars. odd vocals for Rock. Muse - Reapers (wheatsquares33, #4) vs. Meg Myers - Sorry (Dr. Indie, #5) I thought we were sticking to actual singles; not album tracks? Anyway; "Sorry Dr. Indie" is probly what will happen this round, but I'm still giving Meg the love. Motionless In White - Unstoppable (Extra 6, #4) vs. Gates - Low (Green Baron, #5) Seeing this is an extra; means noone really chose it. I found it more NRGetic than "Low". Not a bad song, just a bit too mellow for me. Muse - Dead Inside (Daryl, #4) vs. Five Finger Death Punch - Jekyll and Hyde (dm2081, #5) Can't beat that Duran Duran vibe.The Black Keys - Weight of Love (Extra 1, #4) vs. Vance Joy - Fire and the Flood (Juan Carlos, #5) Vance and his ukelele have got to vacate the alt charts indefinately.Saint Asonia - Better Place (shadowscorp, #4) vs. The Arcs - Outta My Mind (MikeTheMoose, #5)Adam sounded way better backed up by his former band memebers. Arcs; on the other hand, are Black Keys part 2.PHASES - I'm In Love With My Life (Bangwave, #4) vs. Three Days Grace - Human Race (Extra 3, #5) Anotherone Bangwave beat me to choosing. :PGreat song. Their whole E.P. blew me back to 1981. I'm glad they had moderate success on Alt and stayed away from CHR. EODM (Eagles of Death Metal) - Complexity (Extra 2, #4) vs. The Wonder Years - Cardinals (Red, #5) That one sounded like it coulda been an extra on the FFS album? Love the Moog Synths. The reaction to Wonder Years? Go back and listen to EODM again. Note to myaself. Do a Download on "Complexity" this week. Foo Fighters - Outside (Lordeftones, #4) vs. Ex Cops - Black Soap (shakermaker, #5)Super hard one. Love both songs. Gonna give it to Ex Cops, cuz I know the Foos don't need my help to make it to final rounds. "Black Soap" was so underrated. Huge on this side of border. Breaking Benjamin - Failure (Devin, #4) vs. Bryan Adams - You Belong to Me (Extra 4, #5)Bryan Adams was one of my extra suggestions. Written by Jeff Lynn and great vocal and guitar work from Bryan. AAA should jump on this one. "Failure" isn't one of my Breaking Benjamin prefered hits. 'nuff said.K. Flay - Can't Sleep (Extra 5, #4) vs. The Dear Hunter - A Night on the Town (wheatsquares33, #5) Dear Hunter are very underrated. That K. Flay song is female version of Twenty One Pilots. Yuk.
Slash featuring Myles Kennedy & The Conspirators - Bent to Fly (dgarcia3377, #4) vs. Death Cab for Cutie - The Ghosts of Beverly Drive (H., #5) Love Slash, but "Bent To Fly" was pretty boring. Now had this been "World On Fire" the story woulda ended different. "The Ghosts....." has a good chorus. Good enough to win this round.
BTW, I'm fine with a round each night. Keeps the momentum going. Kinda like a good song. I hate when shit slows down. ;) Tags:

Dear Rouge - Black To Gold (Pipa, #4) vs. Mumford & Sons - The Wolf (thewebinator, #5) The Dear Rouge song impressed me. "The Wolf" is better than "Believe", but still underwhelming.
Muse - Reapers (wheatsquares33, #4) vs. Meg Myers - Sorry (Dr. Indie, #5) Probably the most hard rocking song I've ever heard from Muse... I like it a lot more than the "Starlight/Follow Me" mashup that's currently charting. Didn't like Meg Myers' first two singles as I said before.
Motionless In White - Unstoppable (Extra 6, #4) vs. Gates - Low (Green Baron, #5) Definitely not a fan of Motionless in White. The Gates song might be a grower.
Muse - Dead Inside (Daryl, #4) vs. Five Finger Death Punch - Jekyll and Hyde (dm2081, #5) I did like this single from Muse... certainly more than anything by Five Finger Death Punch.
The Black Keys - Weight of Love (Extra 1, #4) vs. Vance Joy - Fire and the Flood (Juan Carlos, #5) Not an indie folk hater but Vance Joy is one of the weaker examples, and the Black Keys song is certainly more interesting.
Saint Asonia - Better Place (shadowscorp, #4) vs. The Arcs - Outta My Mind (MikeTheMoose, #5) Two bands led by singers better known for other bands. I like the Black Keys a heck of a lot more than 3DG, so it follows that I would prefer Arcs... and actually I like this more than anything from the last Black Keys era.
PHASES - I'm In Love With My Life (Bangwave, #4) vs. Three Days Grace - Human Race (Extra 3, #5) Not "in love with" the PHASES song, but I'm definitely not here for 3DG.
EODM (Eagles of Death Metal) - Complexity (Extra 2, #4) vs. The Wonder Years - Cardinals (Red, #5) The EODM song is cool. Wonder Years isn't really my thing.
Foo Fighters - Outside (Lordeftones, #4) vs. Ex Cops - Black Soap (shakermaker, #5) I like both a good amount, but the Foos don't need the help, and if they're going to win this then I'd rather it be with "Congregation".
Breaking Benjamin - Failure (Devin, #4) vs. Bryan Adams - You Belong to Me (Extra 4, #5) I figured Bryan would at least be the lesser of two evils here, but I'm actually pleasantly surprised by this one.
K. Flay - Can't Sleep (Extra 5, #4) vs. The Dear Hunter - A Night on the Town (wheatsquares33, #5) Not sure if I like this Dear Hunter song as much as the last one I heard, and in any case I have to show some love to K. Flay. If this is the female version of Twenty One Pilots, then maybe a little estrogen is just what their formula needed.
Slash featuring Myles Kennedy & The Conspirators - Bent to Fly (dgarcia3377, #4) vs. Death Cab for Cutie - The Ghosts of Beverly Drive (H., #5) The Slash song isn't my thing. Not one of my favorites from Death Cab... but hey, it's Death Cab.

Dear Rouge - Black To Gold (Pipa, #4) vs. Mumford & Sons - The Wolf (thewebinator, #5) (this is a great pick Pipa!!! it's my first time listening to it)
Muse - Reapers (wheatsquares33, #4) vs. Meg Myers - Sorry (Dr. Indie, #5) (i like both songs...which do i pick?...c'mon, it's Muse!!!...is this the next single? does anyone else hear a tiny bit of Madonna's "Express Yourself" here - or am i just crazy?)
Motionless In White - Unstoppable (Extra 6, #4) vs. Gates - Low (Green Baron, #5) (a battle of unknowns..."Low" is pleasant, while "Unstoppable" rocks harder which i like, but its kinda generic sounding & then theres the annoying fake-eom screaming...when Dave G or Trent R scream, i actually believe them)
Muse - Dead Inside (Daryl, #4) vs. Five Finger Death Punch - Jekyll and Hyde (dm2081, #5) (one of the decades best songs would win against most any son, and anything by FFDP would lose against most any song)
The Black Keys - Weight of Love (Extra 1, #4) vs. Vance Joy - Fire and the Flood (Juan Carlos, #5) (i'm a fan of about everything this band does...)
Saint Asonia - Better Place (shadowscorp, #4) vs. The Arcs - Outta My Mind (MikeTheMoose, #5) (...& any of its side-projects)
PHASES - I'm In Love With My Life (Bangwave, #4) vs. Three Days Grace - Human Race (Extra 3, #5) (if you guys like My Type, why not this song? they are both pure pop bliss)
EODM (Eagles of Death Metal) - Complexity (Extra 2, #4) vs. The Wonder Years - Cardinals (Red, #5) (this song has personality & its got Josh Homme!..."Cardinals" is a bit grating to the ears...easy choice)
Foo Fighters - Outside (Lordeftones, #4) vs. Ex Cops - Black Soap (shakermaker, #5) (Black Soap peaked waaaaaay too low & this Foo song is one of their weakest)
Breaking Benjamin - Failure (Devin, #4) vs. Bryan Adams - You Belong to Me (Extra 4, #5) (you'd think that if i'm voting for Bryan Adams, then you know i really hate the other song...actually both were SLIGHTLY better than i had expected)
K. Flay - Can't Sleep (Extra 5, #4) vs. The Dear Hunter - A Night on the Town (wheatsquares33, #5) (nice verses, but the chorus isn't my favorite...a squeaker, still i'll go w/ Dear Hunter...btw, i would've picked K Flay if this had been "Make Me Fade" instead of "Can't Sleep")
Slash featuring Myles Kennedy & The Conspirators - Bent to Fly (dgarcia3377, #4) vs. Death Cab for Cutie - The Ghosts of Beverly Drive (H., #5) (i also love most anything Ben Gibbard has ever done)

Muse - Reapers (wheatsquares33, #4) vs. Meg Myers - Sorry (Dr. Indie, #5)
Motionless In White - Unstoppable (Extra 6, #4) vs. Gates - Low (Green Baron, #5)
Muse - Dead Inside (Daryl, #4) vs. Five Finger Death Punch - Jekyll and Hyde (dm2081, #5)
The Black Keys - Weight of Love (Extra 1, #4) vs. Vance Joy - Fire and the Flood (Juan Carlos, #5) - Never was really able to get into "Weight of Love". I don't care for "Fire and the Flood", but I'll go with it.
Saint Asonia - Better Place (shadowscorp, #4) vs. The Arcs - Outta My Mind (MikeTheMoose, #5) - I think I need to download "Outta My Mind". I like it a lot, but "Better Place" still gets my vote.
PHASES - I'm In Love With My Life (Bangwave, #4) vs. Three Days Grace - Human Race (Extra 3, #5) - Don't care for either, but PHASES takes this barely.
EODM (Eagles of Death Metal) - Complexity (Extra 2, #4) vs. The Wonder Years - Cardinals (Red, #5)
Foo Fighters - Outside (Lordeftones, #4) vs. Ex Cops - Black Soap (shakermaker, #5)

Dear Rouge - Black To Gold (Pipa, #4) vs. Mumford & Sons - The Wolf (thewebinator, #5) (Pipa has had some fantastic choices so far. I'm picking this on a first listen over a former #1 on my chart, so that says something I guess.)Muse - Reapers (wheatsquares33, #4) vs. Meg Myers - Sorry (Dr. Indie, #5) (Reapers is one of the best songs on the new Muse album. Meg Myers has never released anything I've thoroughly enjoyed.)Motionless In White - Unstoppable (Extra 6, #4) vs. Gates - Low (Green Baron, #5) (first listens for both. the matchup wasn't even close)Muse - Dead Inside (Daryl, #4) vs. Five Finger Death Punch - Jekyll and Hyde (dm2081, #5) (I don't think I've ever enjoyed a 5FDP song, but the gimmicky voicemail verses in Jekyll and Hyde are pretty bad imo)The Black Keys - Weight of Love (Extra 1, #4) vs. Vance Joy - Fire and the Flood (Juan Carlos, #5) (Vance Joy's singles have followed a strong downward curve in quality, WoL was the best song on Turn Blue) Saint Asonia - Better Place (shadowscorp, #4) vs. The Arcs - Outta My Mind (MikeTheMoose, #5)(tough choice. Went with current personal chart peak to decide) PHASES - I'm In Love With My Life (Bangwave, #4) vs. Three Days Grace - Human Race (Extra 3, #5) (that PHASES song is just way too happy for me to take seriously, but the lyrics of Human Race are terrible)EODM (Eagles of Death Metal) - Complexity (Extra 2, #4) vs. The Wonder Years - Cardinals (Red, #5)(close-ish, though I'm 2/2 on liking Wonder Years singles, I have to check out the album.)Foo Fighters - Outside (Lordeftones, #4) vs. Ex Cops - Black Soap (shakermaker, #5) (alternatively, the "why didn't you pick I Am A River as a single" vote)Breaking Benjamin - Failure (Devin, #4) vs. Bryan Adams - You Belong to Me (Extra 4, #5)(no feelings towards this matchup whatsoever)K. Flay - Can't Sleep (Extra 5, #4) vs. The Dear Hunter - A Night on the Town (wheatsquares33, #5)Slash featuring Myles Kennedy & The Conspirators - Bent to Fly (dgarcia3377, #4) vs. Death Cab for Cutie - The Ghosts of Beverly Drive (H., #5)

And on a side note, cm7com has two songs in this round because I accidentally omitted him from the last round and put two songs from wheatsquares (instead of just one)
