Index v. Refuge is super tough.  Ended up going with Index because I imagine that Refuge will get most of the love.  Both are among my favorites of his.

[Elite]

Raider II
Luminol
Deform to Form a Star
Routine
Detonation

Get All You Deserve
The Birthday Party
Harmony Korine
People Who Eat Darkness
Refuge

Index v. Refuge is super tough.  Ended up going with Index because I imagine that Refuge will get most of the love.  Both are among my favorites of his.

I ended up with Refuge mainly because the studio version of Index is a little shitty compared to the way he does it live.

I voted for Refuge because the live version of Index is a little shitty compared to the studio version. What a mixed up world

A few observations. First of all, I feel like Group D might be the so-called "group of death" here. There are at least five songs in that group that I would consider to be real fan favourites, and as only 3 are guaranteed progression, it could make things interesting later on. Also, considering that quite a few people posted "Voted Refuge, but Index is also great", the gap between the songs (8-1 to Refuge) was surprisingly wide.

Anyway, that's it for this round. Thank you for voting here. We go back to Groups A & B for Round 2 now.
