Any problems with the polls, ping me. The Discourse update totally changed the interface!
Okay, @SadleyBradley, I’ve no nostalgia for the game because I never played it but the first time I heard the Duck Tales Moon theme years ago, I was like ‘whoa, this is beautiful’. I’ve really wanted to nominate it in the past but after seeing several NES bleep bloops fall early in the 'dome I didn’t have the courage! The remaster doesn’t do much for me but the tune itself is still one of my absolute favourites so how I stick that into a number I don’t know! Four, I suppose! Great to see it in the thunderdome at long last.
Of the ‘fuller’ covers I’ve seen, this is one of my favourites and I love the solos.
Woah, that was NOT what I was expecting from a Guilty Gear tune!
I’m not sure I really enjoyed it as a song, but I gave it an extra point for ambition and surprise.
Haha, yeah, I’m listening now and after the last two Guilty Gear tunes I was not expecting this! I’m enjoying it!
This, in the YT comments under Naked Glow, wasn’t you was it? ;-)
Haha, no. I didn’t make that connection but I guess the rockin’ bass is something Mark King might have done…
L is for last because it’s the last group.

Heh, yeah. Queen is obviously a huge inspiration for the series (to start with, the main character is named Frederick Bulsara and wears a headband with “Rock You” on it), but most of the music goes toward a harder rock/metal style.
It’s one of the few fives I’ve doled out!
Group K results are in:
1. The Movies - Yee Ha: 3.56
2. Ducktales Remastered - Moon: 3.33
3. Nier - Kaine ~Salvation: 3.33
4. Guilty Gear Xrd - Revelator - Freesia: 3.11
Apologies for the delay everyone!
Group L results are in and we have a clear winner:
1. Command & Conquer - Target: 3.78
2. BATTLETECH - For All Mankind: 3.11
3. Guilty Gear Xrd - Sign - Holy Orders III ~ Be Just or Be Dead: 3
4. Silent Hill 4 - Tender Sugar: 2.9
This is the final group so I’ve generated the 16 entry elimination bracket and it looks like this. Eeek! I randomised it until nobody was up against themself, because where’s the fun in that at the beginning? Unfortunately that means my wildcard Blue Moose Man is up against Disco Elysium now.
If you want to see what the final tally looks like, arranged by score, see here. You’ll want to view the ‘Elimination’ sheet at the bottom.
I’ll start the bracket tomorrow just in case anything looks amiss.
Right, it’s time for the elimination round!
Give each tune another listen or two then pick your favourite. Some are growers!

Argh, Majula and Cemetery are going for totally different things and I like both, so I’m not entirely sure how I’m going to choose! But choose I must.
Group 1: Minecraft - Taswell goes through!
Group 2: We’ve got a tie which means we’re in sudden death and need a tie-breaker! @Thraeg, @ArmandoPenblade, @Starflightdream or @SadleyBradley–the first one to say which song they prefer determines the victor.
I’ll give Group 2 a little longer, but in the meantime here’s the next two groups:
Group 3
Featuring nominations from me and @SadleyBradley.
The Norwood Suite - Blue Moose Man
Disco Elysium - Precinct 41 Major Crime Unit

Oh man, besides my Gitaroo Man nomination, all of these songs were some of my favorite pleasant surprises of this round of Thunderdome! So tough! Don’t be surprised if I switch my Group 5 vote a few times…
