Which wildcard low-scorer deserved better?










Yes, we're still calling it PROGRAM. Fight me.

Omitted from the poll but sub-15: Shop Til You Drop (12), Shadowbringers (14), Sand Canyon (13), Running Hell (9). Three of those were in B4.

Rules:
- Listen to both of the songs. Links have conveniently been provided for both songs. Even if Song A is your favorite of all-time and Song B is from a series you hate... Listen. To. Both. (If I have suspicions your vote is not based on a fair and impartial preference, it will be disqualified.)
- Obvious contest rules apply (no alts, one vote per person, no rallying, etc.).
- Please make your voting options clear, rather than burying them in text.
- Each set of matches lasts 24 hours, even if the new one isnt up by then. (Matches do not begin until at least 10:00 EDT.)
- Always vote on the versions of the song provided, not versions from different sources.
- If you know ahead of time that you're not going to be around and you want to vote in advance, post your choices in the discussion/bracket topic.
- Please do NOT post tallies/score updates in the middle of the match, as this has a tendency to directly influence matches.
- You don't have to vote in all the matches, but it'd be cool if you did!

Hopes and Dreams (22nd) / The Wyrm's Jewelbox (84th)

Silence in the Sunlight Filtering Through the Trees (60th) / P-R-O-G-R-A-M (96th)

Luna Ascension EX (aka OST 7) / Dark Legacy

Honestly, H&D is sounding a little off while Wyrm's Jewelbox is sounding a hell of a lot better now than when I ranked it. It sounds more like a great song than a whatever 80s ranker today though it still falls short of Hopes and Dreams, but not by too much which was a shocker. I probably need to start reevaluating both songs later this week or something.

Dark Legacy is so god damn amazing by the way.

Very close third match. Luna is very epic but sounds pretty much the same throughout. Dark Legacy has more variety, with some parts I love, while other parts are okay....

I enjoyed Silence in the Sunlight waaaaay more than I ever have before! Also I just noticed the little bits of Heart of Nova in the background of P-R-O-G-R-A-M.

Hopes and Dreams
Silence in the Sunlight Filtering Through Trees
Luna Ascension EX

Man, I'm so not used to actually having ToC matches that I saw Dark Legacy and was like "wait, isn't this retired already?"

Hopes and Dreams > The Wyrm's Jewelbox > Luna Ascension EX > Silence in the Sunlight Filtering Through the Trees > Dark Legacy ~ P-R-O-G-R-A-M

Yeah can't decide which is actually the worst of the day, but the biggest gaps are on either side of Luna Ascension. I don't feel like doing the thing with the varying number of greater-than signs, but I find it highly likely that I give a +3 to the loser of the first match in wild card.
