At first glance, there is no song in Division H that can take out Baba ‘O Riley (Who), but the #1 seed earned a couple of mediocre scores in the Round of 512. Let’s see how much trouble it has with spunky #16 seed, Bat Out of Hell (Meatloaf). This is Meatloaf’s last stand.
#8 Wonderful World (Sam Cooke) vs. #9 Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds (Beatles). Hard to believe this is Sam Cooke’s last stand.
#4 You Can Call Me Al (Paul Simon) vs. #13 District Sleeps Alone Tonight (Postal Service). Sure, Graceland got slaughtered last week, but this is the catchier tune than the title track.
#5 Psycho Killer (Talking Heads) vs. #12. Basket Case (Green Day). It’s not clear yet which Heads song will catch fire this tournament, but we do know that Basket Case won’t be going anywhere without a heavy batch of nostalgia.
Listen to all of these match-ups at Grooveshark (except for Lucy in the Sky), and vote by commenting below or emailing LTDdotorg@gmail.com by 8pm on Thursday.
Living the Dream 
Baba O’Riley (The Who) 6.3
Bat out of Hell (Meatloaf) 5
Not feeling Baba this round, other than the intro, which remains sick beyond belief. It was there for the picking… and the Loaf gagged.
Wonderful World (Sam Cooke) 9.8
Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds (Beatles) 7.8
LSD is one of my all time favorite beatles song… but Sam Cooke is the man. Wanted to give it a 10… just not quite there.
You Can Call Me All (Paul Simon) 6.3
District Sleeps Alone Tonight (Postal Service) 7
Basket Case (Green Day) 5.8
Psycho Killer (Talking Heads) 6.5
Cool base line on Psycho Killer pretty much sealed the deal here.
Postal Service is definitely on tonight.

Baba O’Riley (The Who) 8
Bat out of Hell (Meatloaf) 6
Baba lagged a bit for me today, still an epic song though. The Loaf couldn’t surmount its own frenetic wackiness.
Wonderful World (Sam Cooke) 9
Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds (Beatles) 6.5
Sam seemed really sweet, made me smile.. while the Beatles just made me want to do drugs.

Baba O’Reilly 9
Bat Out Of Hell 7.5 This song had a really high score from me 8 minutes into it before fading.
Wonderful World 8
Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds 8.3
This was really tough. Thought Cooke had it until “picture yourself on a train in a station where plasticine porters wear looking glass ties.”
District Sleeps Alone 6.5
You Can Call Me Al 7
Basket Case 8 Sounded like the Grooveshark version was scratched, but then again, maybe I was just being paranoid or stoned.
Psycho Killer 6.5 Not my favorite Talking Heads song.
Should have been a three-way battle with “Crazy” (Gnarls Barkely)
Baba ‘O Riley (Who) 9
Bat Out of Hell (Meatloaf) 8
Meatloaf was really pulling hard there, but Baba O’Riley has killer synth AND killer fiddle. And so many memories.
Wonderful World (Sam Cooke) 5
Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds (Beatles) 6
You Can Call Me Al (Paul Simon) 5.5
District Sleeps Alone Tonight (Postal Service) 8
Every time I hear the Postal Service, I’m ready to be sick of them. But we’re going on… 6? 7? years here, and I’m not. That riff in You Can Call Me Al, on the other hand, must’ve been old within minutes of coming out.
Psycho Killer (Talking Heads) 9
Basket Case (Green Day) 6.5
My appreciation of the Talking Heads only grows with age. This is less true of Green Day.
