Round 2 ResultsGreat variation once again. This round was tough, to be honest, since all the songs were, at the very least, good.. The rankings don't really show how close a battle it was.

Dead Can Dance - "Anywhere Out Of This World"Took me by surprise. Didn't floor me, probably because the song kinda stayed in one place but there's something I liked about the brooding nature of the song. It's hard to tell whether or not a lead instrument would've added or subtracted from the song but it did feel like something was missing.
Honorable MentionsMarvellous G
Tracy Chapman - "Fast Car"I really liked the vocals of this song. The way its crafted reminds me of R.E.M. a little bit. A little repetitive but seeing as the progression of the lyrics was the main point of the song I don't mind as much.

Randy Newman - "Short People"Definitely had a good laugh with this song. Very enjoyable and I have no idea why I figured Newman was a movie song only kinda guy.
Portrucci
Ton Steine Scherben - Die letzte Schlacht gewinnen wirI couldn't understand a single word but man what a fun little song. I really dug the surfer/punk style a lot. I might actually check out more stuff by this band since after taking Rock History I've gained an interest in the early surf and proto-punk styles.
Runner Updreamtheatervt
Mission Of Burma - "That's When I Reached For My Revolver"Great groove, great style. Really digging this a lot. Don't really know what else to add aside from what I said about the punk style above.
WinnerSigz
Crack The Sky - "Nuclear Apathy"Oh man where did this come from? It's like Zeppelin and Rush had a baby. Tons of interesting parts and very well arranged. Definitely makes me want to check out more of their stuff.

Round 3: "Comedy" ChallengeFigured I'd throw a curveball this time around. All contestants must submit the worst possible song they can think of. You'll get a bonus point if it'll make me laugh, hence the comedy option. You can get as creative as you want but please no Brokencyde or Attack Attack. Oh and no modern Dream Theater to try and be a wise guy
