Just the two matches outstanding from round 2:

Arcade Fire-Keep The Car Running (4), The Strokes - Last Night (4), The Killers - Smile Like You Mean It (3)
Black Eyed Peas "Where Is the Love?" 4 - 5 Greenday - Waiting

I will leave them both open for resolution by the morning.

I have a sheep reveal tomorrow but hopefully will resume with Round 3 on Tuesday evening, down to 32 songs now...

Go on, Green Day

I would like to change my vote for this one to The Strokes - Last Night (my original vote was for Smile Like You Mean It).

Necro

Black Eyed Peas "Where Is the Love?" 4 - 6 Greenday - Waiting

Necro

Arcade Fire-Keep The Car Running (4), The Strokes - Last Night (5), The Killers - Smile Like You Mean It (2)

Yes Collie, I accidentally omitted The Strokes from the contest despite them having multiple nominations so added them into a random match in Round 2.

To sate your music thirst whilst Necro's away, tonight's the last night to show off your knowledge of album covers in Album Covers PEEHS 2: PEEHS Harder

Results will be delivered on Tuesday evening

One song left for me - and one of those that I expected to be eliminated very quickly

The 9 that got knocked out - I thought Britney and Arcade Fire would have made it in the last 32.

The Dandy Warhols-Bohemian Like You
Sophie Ellis Bextor-Murder On The Dancefloor
Britney Spears-Toxic
Scissor Sisters-I Don't Feel Like Dancin'
Arcade Fire-Keep The Car Running
The Killers-Human
Lady Gaga-Just Dance
Florence and the Machine-Rabbit Heart
La Roux-In For The Kill

Britney did, just not Toxic

Which I think is better than Oops I Did It Again but I am just a humble game runner with no influence on the proceedings:(
