Didn't notice all the voting was for a new round (out of the last 10 posts). That's why I put ROUND 4 in capital letters. The totals: 2. Green Day - Boulevard of Broken Dreams (3) vs. 68. Goo Goo Dolls - Here Is Gone (3) 6. Switchfoot - Dare You to Move (3) vs. 67. Lostprophets - Make a Move (2) 16. Lostprophets - Last Train Home (4) vs. 64. Jimmy Eat World - Work (1) 18. Coldplay - Clocks (5) vs. 58. Linkin Park - Breaking the Habit (1) 19. Killers - Mr. Brightside (3) vs. 44. OutKast - Roses (2) 20. Michelle Branch - Are You Happy Now (2) vs. 42. Incubus - Dig (4)38. Foo Fighters - Times Like These (3) vs. 41. The Ataris - The Boys of Summer (3) 39. Snow Patrol - Chasing Cars (2) vs. 40. OutKast - Hey Ya (3)Two ties... and I've gotta pick Green Day and the Foo Fighters to advance. ROUND 5 (aka the "Round of 8"):2. Green Day - Boulevard of Broken Dreams vs. 42. Incubus - Dig 6. Switchfoot - Dare You to Move vs. 40. OutKast - Hey Ya 16. Lostprophets - Last Train Home vs. 38. Foo Fighters - Times Like These 18. Coldplay - Clocks vs. 19. The Killers - Mr. Brightside

Nothing to differentiate them if we're not keeping track. But I'm the leadoff man this time... ROUND 5 (aka the "Round of 8"):2. Green Day - Boulevard of Broken Dreams vs. 42. Incubus - Dig 6. Switchfoot - Dare You to Move vs. 40. OutKast - Hey Ya 16. Lostprophets - Last Train Home vs. 38. Foo Fighters - Times Like These18. Coldplay - Clocks vs. 19. The Killers - Mr. Brightside

"Last Train Home" goes to the finals. The first new vote for either "Clocks" or "Hey Ya!" will send that song onto the finals. Even though I've voted in past rounds, I don't feel it's right to be the deciding vote to send either song to the final round (and I won't be voting in that round either). If there are no new votes by 11:59 PM EDT tonight, it will be a 3-song final where I'll ask each person to PM to me their ranking of each song (as to build up the suspense a little bit ).

To make things clear, I mean a "new" vote as in by someone who hasn't voted before.

I know I know, I just want to influence the new person, but maybe I should subliminally.

OK, if there are no takers...
FINAL ROUND (PMs only, please)
Please rank these songs in order from favorite to least favorite:
"Clocks" - Coldplay "Hey Ya" - OutKast "Last Train Home" - Lostprophets
For example: 1. "Song A" - Artist A 2. "Song C" - Artist C 3. "Song B" - Artist B
"Song A" will get 3 points, "Song C" will get 2 points, and "Song B" will get 1 point.
You have until Friday, September 20th at 11:59 PM EDT to send your votes in. Only PMs will be accepted.

25 hours to get your votes in. Wouldn't that be 193, going by the last line of your previous post? I'll go ahead and send you my rankings in a few minutes though.

(Jeez, September 20th isn't even a Friday!) I definitely meant September 14th... but on the chance anyone was confused, I will extend the deadline to 11:59 PM EDT, Sunday, September 16th.

...aaand the voting has concluded. gpduke: 1. "Clocks" - Coldplay 3 points 2. "Hey Ya" - OutKast 2 points 3. "Last Train Home" - Lostprophets 1 point BlahBlahBlah: 1. OutKast 2. Lostprophets 3. Coldplay a Nick O!: 1. Lostprophets "Last Train Home" 2. OutKast "Hey Ya!" 3. Coldplay "Clocks" Jeffster: i cast my super secret ballot for: 1.Clocks" - Coldplay 2. "Last Train Home" - Lostprophets 3. "Hey Ya" - OutKast I've actually never heard #2 but it's probly not worse than Hey Ya. later, Jeffster Mega248: 1. "Clocks" - Coldplay 2. "Last Train Home" - Lostprophets 3. "Hey Ya" - OutKast Two A+s and an A- here, so I'll be happy with whatever wins. radical347: 1. Clocks 2. Last Train Home 3. HeyYah
Finishing in 3rd place with 10 points is: OutKast - "Hey Ya!"Finishing in 2nd place with 12 points is: Lostprophets - "Last Train Home"And finishing in 1st place with 14 points and the title of Superior Music Board's Favorite "Matt's Top 50" #1 Hit is... Coldplay - "Clocks"!I would have been quite happy with either "Clocks" or "Last Train Home" winning since each song finished #2 for its year (2003 and 2004, respectively), while "Hey Ya!" was a fine choice for the top 3 as well. Thanks everyone for playing!
