East:
Match 1: Lia - Toki wo Kizamu Uta (Five years ago I may have vote for one of the other two, but I'm just not into metal anymore. Besides, the vocals in both of the other two were just... mehhhhh)
Match 2: Minus the Bear - Absinthe Party at the Fly Honey Warehouse (The only Little Mermaid song I like at all is Under the Sea. I actually liked the techno song, but it couldn't stack up to the original sound and fun lyrics that Minus the Bear's song brought)
Match 3: DFO Soundtrack - Outskirts of Gent (I legitimately liked all of these songs. Flavor of the Weak, though, just struck me as too generic-sounding to really deserve my vote (even though it reminded me of SR-71, who I love). I never thought before listening that I'd vote against Santana, but the energy and mood of Outskirts of Gent really got me into the song, though it was short. Wish I could have voted all three through)
Match 4: FFX OST - To Zanarkand (Again I found myself liking all the songs, but the piano arrangement was just awesome. Another where I'd have liked to send all three through)
West:
Match 1: Black Tide - Warriors of Time (I realize this may make me look like a hypocrite, but I'm a sucker for good power metal even now, and the other two songs weren't impressive enough for me to pick one over this)
Match 2: Ronald Jenkees - Stay Crunchy (I despise the genre/sound of the first song, and as for Weird Al - it's an oldie but goodie, but my reasoning for picking Jenkees is similar to why I picked MtB above. Just too good not to vote for)
Match 3: Deadmau5 - Strobe (I liked the first song a lot, would have picked it if it weren't going up against my favorite song by one of my favorite techno artists. Alas. Last song didn't appeal to me much)
Match 4: Sanxion7 - EternuS (There was nothing inherently unlikable about the other songs, I just thought this one kicked lots of ass)
Will edit as I go.
