    Default Song Battles - Queen, First Artist (Game Over see post #38)

    I'm going to divide this game into artists and rounds.
    First artist Queen. Why? Because I love Queen. After we get to the finals, another artist will be chosen by one of you guys.

    Choose one song as the best for each battle: Each round will be 24 hours (or so - I'm at work). The song with the most votes in each battle will battle another song with the most votes until we have a winner.

    a. We Are The Champions - We Will Rock You
    b. Bohemian Rhapsody

    a. A Crazy Little Thing Called Love
    b. Another One Bites The Dust

    a. Somebody To Love
    b. Fat Bottomed Girls.

    a. Under Pressure
    b. Tie Your Mother Down

    a. A Crazy Little Thing Called Love

    a. Under Pressure


    #1 and #4 are easy. #2 is a bit harder. Another One Bites the Dust is more original, but Crazy Little Thing is a great little song and definitely shows Queen's style.
    #3 was really tough for me. In the end I went with what I'd rather [del:3b25vxxv]have[/del:3b25vxxv] listen to over and over.

    For the second one, it's pretty close, but it's not like either of these have a chance against the other songs.

    Bohemian Rhapsody

    Here's the second bracket: The Rolling Stones.

    Oh, and I vote Bohemian Rhapsody. As Wayne Campbell said, "excellent choice."

    Bohemian Rhapsody has won the Queen song battle!

    It will be the song to go up against the winners of the other song battles.

    The Rolling Stones battle is on.

    We'll need someone to choose the third artist and songs for battle number three to begin next week.
