The biggest faller of Round 1 was Evanescence - Bring Me To Life - it had 4 nominations and still wasn't enough to best Eminem - The Real Slim Shady.
Other multi nom fallers:

M.I.A - Paper Planes (2007)
Bat for Lashes - Daniel
Smashing Pumpkins - Stand Inside Your Love
My Chemical Romance - Welcome to the Black Parade
Sophie Ellis Bextor-Murder On The Dancefloor
Gnarls Barkley - Crazy (2006)
R.E.M. - Imitation of Life
Nickelback - How You Remind Me
Coldplay - Clocks
Amy Winehouse - Back to Black
Arcade Fire - Wake Up
The Zutons - Valerie (2006)

All with two nominations each.


Also I just noticed I made a boo boo.

I received multiple nominations for The Strokes - Last Night but somehow failed to include it in the line ups.

To rectify this, it will be randomised into a Round 2 match which will be a three way dance where one song will progress.

Apologies folks!!

Ah ya can leave it out Necro, it's only The Strokes. No great loss to the competition.

Paper Planes should be reinstated instead.

Necro

Ok let's go with Round 2.

Still first to 6 here.

Match 1

Franz Ferdinand - Take Me Out

VS



Queens of the Stone Age - No One Knows

Match 2 - Another song off - who will prevail?


Linkin Park & Jay-Z - Numb/Encore

VS


Linkin Park - Numb

Match 3 - Linkin Park round, I guess :pac:

Interpol - Obstacle 1

VS



Linkin Park - In The End

Match 4 - Let's just get this one over with, please?


James Blunt - You're Beautiful

VS



Eminem - Lose Yourself

Also Starring LeVar Burton

I think Bring Me To Life should get a second chance face off against The Strokes right now and the winner gets into the Round 2 threeway.

#1 QOTSA
#2 The one that doesn't have Jay-Z
#3 Interpol
#4 Eminem

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Queens Of The Stone Age - No One Knows - tough call, but No One Knows is better.

Linkin Park - Numb - original version is the best of the two.

Linkin Park - In The End - my nomination and the best song here.

Eminem - Lose Yourself - mom's spaghetti!!!

I'd better not or others would be clamouring for their favourites to get another chance.

Disappointed myself about Evanescence, thought it would do very well tbh but just the luck of the draw... or not.

It's another one I thought could've been a worthy finalist, but its hard to predict. Some songs are doing a lot better than I thought they would and others are getting off to rocky starts or being knocked out.

Yep, what Kol said

I love the LP/JZ album but have to go for the raw Numb

Necro

James Blunt - You're Beautiful 0 - 6 Eminem - Lose Yourself

Blunt's reign of terror over the contest is finally, thankfully brought to a close with a shellacking from Lose Yourself.

Necro

Match 5

Kylie Minogue - Can't Get You Out Of My Head

VS



Depeche Mode - Precious

Match 6

Eminem - The real slim shady

VS



Avril Lavigne - Complicated

Match 7 - this has all the hallmarks of a one sided beatdown - and not for the gangster.

Snow Patrol - Run

VS



DMX - X Gon Give It To Ya

Match 8


Britney Spears - Oops! I Did It Again

VS


Amy Winehouse - Valerie

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Depeche Mode - Precious - one of mine, but its up against a big tune here unfortunately.

Avril Lavigne - Complicated - I won a Karaoke competition in Philadelphia singing this, so just great memories.

Snow Patrol - Run - tough call, but I used to love this song until Leona Lewis ruined it with that awful cover. Slowly able to start enjoying it again.

Britney Spears - Oops! I Did It Again - it's a good song and far better than Amy Winehouse.

I need to go back to last matches

Lose yourself

Necro

Franz Ferdinand - Take Me Out 5 - 3 Queens of the Stone Age - No One Knows
Linkin Park & Jay-Z - Numb/Encore 1 - 6 Linkin Park - Numb
Interpol - Obstacle 1 2 - 5 Linkin Park - In The End

Will let the others simmer for a few mins before releasing the scores.

9 of my 11 got through to this round

#5 Depeche Mode, really like this and didn't know it before the competition.

#6 Eminem, because Complicated needs to just die.

#7 Fúck it, let's go for DMX - Snow Patrol have a few tunes I like but I never liked the chorus in this one.

#8 Amy Winehouse, not her best but still better than Britney.
