And here’s your loser’s bracket matches:

NOTE: There’s a lot of matches and coming up with flavour text is difficult, so if it starts to get repetitive, there’s only so many ways to say “these songs don’t share too much in common.”

Next, two polar opposite tracks meet with Jethro Tull’s Aqualung facing The Muffs’ Kids in America!

After that, we have a battle of beloved alternative bands as Bikini Kill’s Rebel Girl meets The Replacements’ Alex Chilton!

Then, top tier metal battles it out when Abnormality’s Visions faces Dream Theater’s Panic Attack!

The next match is a modern rock battle with The Donnas’ New Kid in School taking on Avenged Sevenfold’s Almost Easy!

After that, two songs that were both part of soundtracks to beloved films when The Mighty Mighty Bosstones’ Where’d You Go? battles Tenacious D’s Master Exploder!

Next, it’s the indie rock battle as Interpol’s PDA takes on Modest Mouse’s Float On!

Finally, two sides of the early 90s scene meet when Lush’s De-Luxe battles Megadeth’s Peace Sells!
